Omg. You act like Democrats have had the ability to get shit passed. Many of these things you want require Congress, and we’ve been locked down by Conservatives and DINO’s (See Manchin and Sinema). We’ve never had a super majority that would allow this stuff to get passed. We have plenty of Democrats in power that are advocating for these things and we have plenty of support for the people for things like this. Things were moving in a positive direction, and sure, they could have moved faster, but at least things were becoming more progressive over time. But no no, let’s completely ignore every accomplishment that Democrats have done for the last 20 years and instead hyperfixate on all the things they still haven’t done.

Like, what’s your point? What are you trying to achieve? Make Democrats look bad? For what purpose? Are you one of those Lemmy.ml guys?

Israel, if you can’t honor your promises and agreements, you can expect that no one will ever take you seriously as an ally again. You’ve demonstrated time and time again that you are incapable of being trusted.

Whew. I did, in fact, read it.

There was no need to be rude in your post about it.

Turns out the numbers are still being updated. They’ve gone up about since you posted (and funny enough, Trump no longer has above 50% of the vote - i.e. the mandate of the people). I’ll admit that I was getting my information from Stephen Spoonamoore, and that the data does not match up with the current results. I went and pulled the numbers as well and it looks like it’s even lower than what you found based on comparison to Senate data. However, I’m not a security specialist, nor am I a data analyst. I was deferring to people that have more experience than me.

That said, I’m not saying that it was rigged - I am however saying that a bunch of weird shit happened, and I’m hoping that someone looks into deeper JUST TO BE SURE. It looks like Pennsylvania is actually doing a recount - if they come back with nothing, I’ll shut up about it. And yes, it’s entirely skepticism, I’m not in denial about Trump winning.

I don’t get why there’s such a hesitation about being sure of something. It’s like smelling smoke, and being told to stfu about there being a fire…that everything is working as intended. Like, do I have “evidence” of there being a fire? No, but…why tf wouldn’t we just establish that nothing is on fire, just to be on the safe side.

I 100% agree that none of the things suggested are “evidence,” but without some sort of investigation, no one will ever actually be able to get any evidence.

If you actually wind up responding, try not to strawman me this time as some sort of election denier, “do your own research” kook. I didn’t do that to you, did I?

Yeah… remember how much conservative media was making fun of coke-addled Hunter Biden?

Now we have coke-addled Trumpy Jr. Making the goofiest fucking cabinet picks the world has ever seen.

Within every election, there is a certain number of bullet ballots to be expected. The norm falls around 1-2% or so, with an expected margin of error. Every swing state (and ONLY swing states). Hit around 5-12%. The percent of bullet ballots has drastically gone down. I think the percent was so hi due to early counts in the week after the election.

There were 57 bomb threats that targeted ballot counting stations. All in swing states.

In pretty much every swing states, Trump won the Presidency, but Democrats won pretty much every other down ballot race?

The polls were pretty much correct for the swing states… except for the Presidency?

There’s coincidences and then there’s fucking Looney Toons levels of improbability.

I’m not a conspiracy theorist, but considering all that, you don’t think a single investigation should occur?

“Settler” = Fucking thieves.

Israel needs to be stopped. They are looking for “excuses” to bomb and raid others. Makes you question whether or not they “let” HAMAS raid them just so that they had an excuse to absolutely genocide the Palestinian people.

I get it. I’ve been watching it on /r/somethingiswrong2024 and /r/verify2024 so I’ve been able to see other people’s data. Stephen Spoonamoore is a data security guy that’s been leading the charge. I would trust most if his information far more than anything you see on the subreddits (already until it’s verified).

You can see them yourself when you aggregate state data and count votes for president vs downballot candidates. The norm is like <1% with a margin of error based on historical data. This is the case for literally every other state except the swing states. The swing states are seeing anywhere from 5-12% bullet ballots. It’s so far outside of the norm that it’s bordering on the improbable.

I’ve been keeping up with a lot of it. The Starlink thing is likely a red herring. Spoonamoore, whose kicked this thing off, thinks that the tabulators were likely hacked before election day somehow.

So, the bullet ballots are the oddest thing. In every single election, you’ll get a super small amount of bullet ballots, like 0.3% of them. And there’s typically a margin in which the likelihood of these things occur. You can tell there are bullet ballots when there’s more votes for a President than the down ballot candidates (i.e. other state elections), essentially signifying that somebody went and voted for just the President and no other races. They’re finding something like 7-12% bullet ballots in the swing states and ONLY the swing states, which is significant…it’s a statistical anomaly.

So…questions start to pile up. How did so many pollsters get it wrong in only the swing states? Why were there SO MANY bomb threats in only swing state ballot counting stations? Why were there SO MANY bullet ballots in only this election? Why did Democrats win nearly every other downballot race in these elections, but somehow Trump had a massive win? Why are all of these “weird things” only happening in swing states?

For reference on the bullet votes, a graph showing the bullet ballots percents:

It’ll never happen. US Military would never willingly split itself apart, let itself get split apart, or let another nation that it’s not allied with have any sort of Army on its equivalent. The 50 states are here to stay.

Exactly. I think most of us have identified that the fucking corporate media can’t be trusted to be reliable. This is partially their fault for sane-washing Trump over and over again.

That said, there is resistance. Please check out the subreddit /r/SomethingIsWrong2024.

… there’s an argument to be made that…maybe they didn’t vote that way.

There’s some serious irregularities in the way votes are appearing in key battleground states. The number of bullet votes is insanely off (historically 0.1%, but somehow 7% in BG states), a historical amount of people voting blue down ballot but then voted Trump, the number of bomb threats called into ballot counting areas in BG states, and how all of the irregularities are only being found in BG states.

It makes you step back and say… something weird is going on here.

Ah yes, kindness, compassion, and empathy being considered “wokeness”. Can’t have that. Much better to have hate, disgust, and cruelty.

Yeah, I find I need to read a book or find some other way to engage my brain - woodworking, painting, gardening, etc… The enjoyment comes back.

Gummies are incredibly easy to make. I just made a batch 2 days ago that are sitting in my counter drying before I put a powdered sugar on the outside of them and stick them in the freezer. I use moulds so that I know EXACTLY how much I’m dosing. And the best part? I’m not destroying my lungs by any means.

Go S.Korea!! This is the kind of shit we need in the US too! The amount of inspirational stuff coming of of Korea right now is amazing.

What’s is a “liberal hegemonic order”? Because what we already had was a democracy, and we were making grassroots efforts to make it better. Was it perfect? Fuck no, but at least we had a chance to make things better. States were brining in Ranked Choice Voting, other states were enshrining human rights where it wasn’t always guaranteed. Smashing it all down and starting over with a Christo-fascist authoritarian government is about the dumbest way to “collaborate, cooperate, and strive for peaceful coexistence.” We’re about to get the Christian Taliban with the most powerful military in the world backing it. Trump is about to give our government officials purity tests and will throw out anyone that doesn’t swear to him (literally per P2025), and he’s going to be stacking the government with lackeys. We’re on track for Nazism 2.0.

I cast level 99 Eroticism.

I find it fascinating that the one of the most consistent groups that I hear about playing hardball with Trump is a conservative group - The Lincoln Project. Like, do we not have any sort of “we play dirty” liberal groups that dig up shit like this to show Trump’s hypocrisy? The Lincoln Project is buying billboards, they are all over the news week after week? We need a liberal party with that same sort of girthy, 12" dick swinging energy.

Yeah, but at the end of the day we either want Lemmy to grow, or we don’t. And if we make it difficult or awkward for people to use Lemmy, then we’re shooting ourselves in the foot if our goal is to grow Lemmy’s user base.
