All you folks who really like to point out how bad the Democrats suck: Now's your chance. She's saying everything you've been saying, except leading from it into "How the fuck do we fix it, this is a crisis" instead of "Let's not vote, that'll be sure to help things along"

How am I supposed to maintain my neoliberal edgelord street cred if they take away my protest vote by doing what they should be?

I have never heard a politician do an interview with this much intelligence, honestly, and even some laughs. And for an hour, not just a few minutes.

AOC, and candidates like AOC, could win, not just in New York, but anywhere in America. If Democrats would allow it.

Also didn't know Jon Stewart was doing a weekly show. Where've I been?

Already for months now, a year even maybe? Its awesome with Stewart back, so much better than the other guy. Also check out Desi Lydic, She's killing it on the daily show as well

She is one of the few politicians that I feel gives future America a chance to catch up to the rest of the 1st world countries. We need more like her.

Trump was bragging about Elon fixing voting machines in Pennsylvania. A data is coming out showing widespread fraud in swing states. No challenges were ever made, and it’s looking like they never will be.

Get out the vote has its limits when the rule of law is absent, and the Democratic Party looks more and more like controlled opposition every day.

I'd love to see this data. No one has reported on it that I know of.

Here's a good video.

I'm not a statistician, but the reasoning as I understand it boils down to the bullets below.

And I think it's worth noting these trends only happened in swing states.

  • Other Democratic candidates outperformed Kamala at unprecedented levels.
  • Trump had an unprecedented number of ballots that only voted him for president and ignored the rest of the ballot.
  • Harris received very similar turnout among Democrats compared to Biden (so she wasn't an unpopular candidate). She got 99.5% of the Democrat base that voted for Biden.
  • Voting patterns resemble the 'Russian Tail' documented in the fraudulent Georgian elections (the country), and a Russian constitutional amendment vote that strong suggest manipulation. Basically our good friend the bell curve is disrupted with the top at 60ish% instead of 50%.

More on the Russian Tail:

Do you have anything better than One Guy with no connection to the government or media?

Ok, one guy. That's not what we're asking to see.

A data is coming out showing widespread fraud in swing states.

Let me guess... Arizona and "bullet ballots"?

Or what is this data? Can I see this data?

[–] NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah I've seen comments on this a couple times but no sources yet. I would really like to see a source.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 10 points 1 month ago

I think Nobody is talking out of his ass. Unfortunately. I'd love to be wrong though.

An unvetted press release from a group I've never heard of questioning an alleged statistical voting anomaly in one county in Nevada. I'm ... whelmed.

[–] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 7 points 1 month ago

I've always been saying the former, but getting people to accept that the Democratic party desperately needs change has been a pretty bitter pill. Glad she's mainstreaming this take.
