  • Seems like this is from people who (claim to have) demonstrated how it could be done on the hardware used in the election as part of their professional careers, are showing the data suggesting something like that was done, and are reaching out to officials to get a recount, which would be able to prove something was done to alter the results. Seems like demanding recounts is what should be done, just like in 2020.

  • 2016 anomilies were differences between exit polls and results specifically in some swing states. Different anomoly. Not saying 2016 was definitely fraudulent, but seems worth double checking if you want to pretend to be a republic/democracy.

  • You could do vote totals for president vs vote totals for the next highest state-wide race (or break it down to more locally) without looking at the party those votes went to. It wouldn't prove that the huge number of bullet votes were specifically in favor of Trump, but at least would suggest some wrong-doing, even if the result of a recount lowers Harris votes.

    Still, there's surely lots of other races where one candidate is clearly awful, yet bullet ballot rates are still <1%.

  • It's not like my account is that important. I have the same account on different instances so when one has technical problems, I just use the other. Just copied the settings over. Not like I need to be able to go through all my history much.

  • There was also the cost of running twitter. Granted, his return so far has been about 50 bil and twitter still has a market value of like 40 billion, so it's not like that asset has gone away. Like 4 billion in net costs to make 50 billion in two years is pretty solid return on investment....

  • Stop giving bombs for genocide and stop telling people that the economy is already great so they should not ask for more and instead give popular policy positions that help people more than a week before the election/after early voting.

  • It still would be a mistake and would prevent some people from voting for him, but Bernie would at least compensate for it by actually supporting popular policies instead of the opposite and have some energy.

  • Americans just weren’t convinced that Harris would do anything to improve their economic situation.

    Why would they? She never proposed anything specific AFAIK except like 1 week before the election after early voting was already over. If she hadn't avoided taking any policy positions except unconditional aid to israel, lower proposed tax rates for the rich than even Biden was proposing, continued fracking, no improvements to healthcare, and more lethal military/border while avoiding talking about abortion for months, maybe people would have reason for some hope for improvement.

    How many Americans know about proposals about things like tax credits for parents or plan to expand medical care coverage under medicare (or was it medicaid?) to at-home care except the small percent who follow that kind of news.
