      Democrats have announced that they’re going to make a statement at 3:45pm EST today or something. Our government is actively in the middle of a coup, and they’re “going to make a statement.”

      I’m sure it’ll be some finger wagging, and that’s about it.

        What do you want the Democrats to do?

        Stage a coup of their own?

        The Republicans won democratically and they’re doing what they said they would and the American population gave Trump his first popular vote win because of it.

          The Republicans won democratically

          Did they? Trump was bragging about Musk messing with the computers, which given Trump’s penchant for lying and Musk’s penchant for being terrible with technology, seems unlikely, but it should have still merited an investigation.

          Also, the Dems rolled over in 2000 when the Supreme Court gave the election to Bush, so even if they found evidence of wrongdoing, I doubt they would do anything.

            Do you have a concrete source or evidence other than the mouth of this ever changing talking head. Like real evidence? If not just stop, its embarrassing. I get that you don’t want to accept that people would be this stupid and vote for Trump again. But if you just deny reality based on some conspiracy you are not really different from republicans talking about a stolen election in 2020.

            Its over, the MAGAs won this time. Lets face reality and accept it and deal with it. Denial gets us nowhere.

              My point is is that the MAGAs would have won regardless of whether or not Trump cheated. The Dems are spineless when challenging the legality of an election. When the SC ended the recount early and gave it to Bush, Gore should have fought. When ballots were found in dumpsters, Kerry should have fought. Hell, I remember touch screen voting machines in 2008 having their grids miss calibrated in a way that gave votes to McCain, but never Obama. Obama had at least had a voter intimidation and fraud hotline setup in advance so it wouldn’t come down to a post election issue.

              What I’m saying is is that if you want progress within legal means, you have to gut the DNC and get people with spines.

            I gave my heart and soul and money to the Democratic Party. All they gave us were losers and a fascist government. They still beg us for money- to do fuck all.

              The trump voters and left voters who didn’t vote gave you a fascist. You can blame the democrats all you want and act like you’ve hurt them but you haven’t. They’re just gonna take a 4 year vacation and enjoy their money while they fuck off, just like the left voters told them to do

              I’m a leftist but I’m sick of hearing about Bernie sanders. Talk about a loser. Guy can’t even get the support of democrats and you think he was gonna win over an entire polarized nation? He would have gotten steamrolled by Trump to be honest. He’s got good ideas but is ultimately ineffectual.

              And my biggest gripe with sanders are his supporters. How are you guys gonna demand that old white guys retire from politics and allow in the new blood, while asking for Bernisaurus to take office? It’s senseless.

              Bernie is a great flag bearer but he sucks at winning
