The Political Thread 2021

So if the election was above the table, what’s the issue with looking into loopholes and laws to make elections secure to the point that contesting them would be beside the point?

Everyone who was crying about election fraud in 2016 is now ok with everything because their guy won? This is why the electorate is clownshoes.

  1. he didn’t remotely care about any of that when his guy was winning

  2. he has no standing to interfere in the laws of any state other than his own

  3. no politician of either party is remotely interested in making any change to voting laws that doesn’t blatantly favor their own party. That’s the whole reason we have such a problem with gerrymandering.

If he starts the ball rolling and other people from other states jump onboard, what’s the problem? I understand assuming that a politician would say something like this to hopefully favor their own party, but I thought we wanted secure elections. Who would you prefer does something like this, or do we just throw up our hands andet it rock as is because we cant trust anyone at all?

It’s election security theatre. There’s literally no indication that there’s anything especially wrong with our election system, and in order to “turn into Venezuela” we’d have to base our economy so entirely off the price of oil that the moment there’s a glut on the market our entire society collapses. So I don’t think Rand’s “fixes” are going to do much to prevent that.

So we’ve Rand, a guy who supported people trying to undermine our election and who has the undue influence of a US Senator, going into places he doesn’t represent in order to throw his weight to make changes we at best don’t need and at worst just unilaterally favor whatever his agenda is.

I saw that edit btw… haha
There was what? 5 confirmed fraud instances this election? How do we from a small percentage .000something of the total vote being questionable to “don’t trust anything”?

Rand voted to seat Biden. And maybe it is election security theatre but we spent much time looking into the 2016 election and there was no indication that the Russians did anything but stuff anyone with a lot of free time could have done, why is everyone afraid to look into this one if it’s clean?

This type of thing is going to happen every election if we don’t put the normies’ fears to rest that their vote matters and that who the president is is going to change their life dramatically.

Who would you trust to tackle election security issues?

All I’m saying is that if AOC said something to the effect that Rand Paul did, people would be going, “Right on!” People don’t care about what’s said as much as who’s saying it.

If AOC said what what Rand Paul has been saying about the election…she’d get blasted even more.

Sure, by Hannity who no one takes seriously.

Everyone else in the government and corporate media would be applauding her and saying we should look into it.

It’s all in the presentation. It really doesn’t matter what party the person is from.
To be taken serious the pitch would have to be something like: I don’t believe the election was stolen,I denounce Trump’s claims about dominion and would like to have policy in place that such outlandish claims couldn’t have the possibility of occuring. Make the process transparent.

Etc …

Again, no one cares what’s said, just who’s saying it.

I m not gonna change your stance on that. I realize this.i guess I concede to the point you’re making.

How about not having a pos like rand paul say it?

This is where your career as a politician comes into play.

Thing is…they’ve looked into the 2020 election.
No evidence of widespread fraud was found.

Trump’s own appointed director of the CISA said it was the safest and most secure election.

Rand is still stirring falsehoods.

AOC in that situation would get blasted more.
Then again I believe she would known when to fold em.

So like someone from the party whose candidate won said election? Because appay Republicans are all POS’s because they’re Republicans now.

So you’re satisfied that the election that happened a little over a month ago was clean and that it wouldn’t take more than a month of investigation to vet a process so complex? I’m not saying it’s dirty, but I’m not saying there’s Anything wrong with looking at it.

Who said that?

My dislike of rand paul isn’t a recent thing.

Reminder I was solarmallet. We’ve had the parties talk.

People in this thread have said Republicans are all POS’s, not you specifically. I know you were but apparently that’s what it would take for people to consider looking into it, someone they like bringing it up. Which is batshit crazy talk.

The Georgia senate runoff election?
The Presidential election?

Yes…I’m content with it.

Are you?

I’m indifferent really because I know that it doesn’t matter much who’s in the white house, and congress is just going to flip in 2 years like it always does. I didn’t know the georgia elections were contested for fraud.

Well anybody who has ® by their name and still ,either directly or indirectly, continuing Trump’s bullshit claims is a pos.
