          I had to wait in line for 4 hours to vote just to come home and realize I was going to have to survive a fascist hell hole for a minimum of 4 more years. I’m not going to thumb my nose at people that had to leave, they don’t make it easy.

      The US election system is very anti-democratic. And yet it never seems to be a big political issue there. Until that changes, the 50% reasonable people there will be held hostage by the 50% morons.

        Great link, thanks for that. It’s a good read. I was going to mention this aspect in my post above. I didn’t want to go down that rabbit hole in case I would trigger the finger pointing and conspiracy theorist claims, but now we’re here. This is incredible, and I have read other legitimate claims like this. I wish we could post sub-stack posts in a dedicated community somewhere on Lemmy, maybe its something I should think about.

        It wasn’t exactly brilliant, but they did back the progressive against the wall saying the elections were rigged against Maga laying a trap where progressives would have to defend the election system as fair. Then they cheated like the projecting little assholes they are.
