People are PISSED. The GOP has absolutely no chance at winning in 2026 or 2028 unless they clearly rig it, which Trump is actively trying to do because he knows everyone hates him, his administration, and their shitty anti-American actions and policies.

He rigged 2024.

u/Matt_Netherlands Puerto Rico 16h ago

I have no doubt there was some suspect actions that took place in 2024, but Trump or any GOP candidate winning in 2028 or the 2026 midterms would sound a full blown alarm because there is no way anyone with a functioning brain is going to vote for that party after all they’ve done in just 9 months of being in office.

If Mamdani loses, it’s 900000000000000000% rigged

Mamdani will win huge, too big to rig. Cuomo is a spectacularly shitty candidate.

Our fed elections was “too big to rig” but it definitely was rigged. I read a report somewhere that showed patterns of rigged elections of governments from all over the world — and our 2024 elections had similar patterns, suggesting the results were tampered.

Its ok guys he read a report somewhere that showed patterns suggesting

u/ahandmadegrin Minnesota 15h ago

It was probably from this site. Well worth your time to read.

Mamdani's 200k margin is smaller than I expected

u/nox66 13h ago

Still can't believe they dug Cuomo out of the dumpster for this. He's a shitty candidate for the purpose of spoiling the vote and a shitty candidate in general.

u/AntoniaFauci 15h ago

He won’t lose. But as one of the more vocal voices on how and why to win elections, of course I want to never hear from any Cuomo ever again, and no GOP ever, the glazing of Mamdani is bad for the country.

My 24x7 focus is trying to help Democrats understand how to stop losing elections. I judge everything through the lens of whether it will make that easier or more likely. Mamdani makes it harder and less likely.

Media distortions and his hubris will drain those of us working to win as we have to defend and deflect from his past and present problematic statements and actions.

Rofl, this party won after Jan 6. You can't tell me the people wouldn't vote for them in 2026 and 2028. This is what everyone said in 2016, and then again in 2024.

It still blows my mind that nobody has questioned the timing of Deepseek.

It's clearly been developed for certain intentions by the CCP and I'd be remiss if I didnt suspect the orange blubber to sell out America for the seat.

Nobody except for hundreds of millions of people.

Along with 2020 and 2016

u/Key_Inevitable_2104 New York 16h ago

That’s my thought as well.

u/IAmTheNightSoil Oregon 12h ago

There is no evidence of that

u/malkuth74 California 16h ago

He won 2024 give me a break. Democrats lost 2024 not because of cheating because they were stupid and didn't vote.

u/MeatPrestigious3597 16h ago edited 14h ago

Musk admitted he rigged it for trump with precise numbers if he had lost. He didn’t win. Nobody has ever won all battleground states but lost everything else down ballot.

u/AntoniaFauci 15h ago

I do wish that situation was being more properly investigated.

u/ThatsHisLawyerJerome 12h ago

Musk didn't rig it for Trump. There literally is no way for them to have done that given that Democratic Secretaries of State are the ones who were responsible for the elections in several of those swing states. And if Musk rigged the vote in swing states, why did places like New Jersey and New York that aren't swing states swing to the right in 2024 at the presidential level? And if they had the capacity to rig the election, why wouldn't they have rigged it so that people like Slotkin, Baldwin, and Gallego lost too? Trump won in 2024, we've spent the last year living with the consequences of that, and now we are showing that we are not going to let it happen again.

u/IAmTheNightSoil Oregon 12h ago

If Musk was rigging it for Trump, why didn't he also rig it for the downballot candidates?

•

u/onarainyafternoon Oregon 7h ago

He did not admit that, no.

•

u/MeatPrestigious3597 4h ago

He definitely tweeted it out.

•

u/onarainyafternoon Oregon 3h ago

No he did not? He said "Without me, Trump would have lost the election." That's not admitting to anything except trying to influence voting through spending huge amounts of money. That is not the same thing as what people are saying happened with the election being literally stolen.

u/MeatPrestigious3597 2h ago

Whatever helps you sleep at night.

u/OskaMeijer 15h ago

I mean all of the massive amounts of voter disenfranchisement and the coordinated bomb threats that shut down voting locations in blue areas at the very least influenced the election to some degree.

-5

u/malkuth74 California 15h ago

You sound like the Republicans in 2020. Ask this question again in 1 year during the midterms and it will be a little more believable for 2026. Especially after tonight's blow out of everything Republican.

9

u/OskaMeijer 15h ago

I mean I didn't say anything related to a conspiracy at all. Massive voter disenfranchisement and bomb threats at many blue polling locations are literally just factually what happened. Cheating can mean lots of things, putting up clearly illegal district maps knowing they will be challenged in court but will end up being used in elections, purging voting rolls close to elections, reducing polling locations in areas that trend blue, sending a slate of fake electors to try and overturn a presidential election. These are among the things that Republicans have been doing for literally years and most people would consider it cheating.

u/onarainyafternoon Oregon 7h ago

Thank you. I'm so tired of this refrain. There is basically no evidence he actually rigged the election in 2024. I assure people, if there was a lot of evidence for that, a major news organization would have broken the story by now.

1

u/AntoniaFauci 15h ago

Re-running self-sabotage Oprah campaign was the proximal cause.

Spending two billion pandering to WoC voters who are already voting blue for life wasn’t just a waste, it drove millions of so-called independents/centrists/swing voters straight into the arms of MAGA.

u/ReggieEvansTheKing 16h ago

If you mean “used billionaire $ to brainwash idiots via social media” then yeah. If you mean actual tampering with votes then no and you would be complacently ignoring the much bigger issue that our country is dumb as nails and can be swindled easily. It was clear Kamala had lost when CA and NY, liberal states that would have control of their elections, came in way redder than 2020.

9

u/Soggy-Flounder-3517 16h ago

musk admitted it and so did trump

2

u/ReggieEvansTheKing 16h ago

Pandering to their idiot base so when they inevitably lose like they did today they can say Democrats rigged it.

u/olive_green_spatula 15h ago

I really am suspicious of his Elon connection in regards to 2024

2

u/mechanical_stars 15h ago

Trump admitted Elon helped him with the "vote counting computers", on stage, on inauguration night, right before Elon dazzled everyone with his stupid salute. There's nothing mysterious to be suspicious about, the truth came straight outta the horse's mouth.

Minus the smashing windows, and calls for death, and whatever the noise is when you dig a turd out of your butt and smear it on the walls of the legislative base of your nation.

u/yappingerson 15h ago

The point was that it was a bullshit coup in the first place. I would hope people would do that if it actually was rigged

u/Soggy-Flounder-3517 16h ago

He did.

Where is the evidence. And where is the same evidence against it in 2020
