Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

If Republicans are really looking for election fraud, they might want to check on their own party members.

In [candidate for MA lieutenant governor] Martin’s case, signature gatherer Joe Bronske allegedly used a list of registered Republican voters to forge hundreds of signatures.

In [candidate for MA AG] Walsh’s case, a handwriting expert determined that many of the signatures from certain towns were “more likely than not written by the same person,” according to the commission’s ruling.

Thousands of miles away in Florida, five people, including three elected officials, have been charged in connection with a scheme to allegedly create and distribute a fake voter guide.

It's always projection for conservatives.

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You're telling me the party that has openly admitted that they can't maintain their seats of power if elections are fair and free.. are corrupt assholes committing fraud to obtain and maintain power?

Someone get me my clutching pearls and my wringing gloves!

Don't leave out the kid-fucking.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago

They literally cannot stop themselves

[–] SparroHawc@piefed.world 23 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

No, but you see, it's okay when THEY do it, because it's only to offset what those filthy LIBRULS are doing.

[–] snausagesinablanket@lemmy.world 18 points 3 weeks ago

These guys?

[–] halcyoncmdr@piefed.social 5 points 2 weeks ago

Ah yes, they must be doing the same thing. Just not getting caught. So they're openly admitting they are bad at that as well.

[–] sns@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 3 weeks ago

The rest of Rapublicans cheat in their home states.

[–] HCSOThrowaway@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

They say "every accusation is a confession," but I think it runs a bit deeper than that.

They've been propagandized into believing the Democrats did the same and worse. So if they feel they've been kicked in the balls against the rules during a boxing match, they feel it's time to start ball-kicking even harder because it's time to fight dirty.

Wrote my comment before I read yours.

This exactly.

[–] SeeMarkFly@lemmy.ml 10 points 3 weeks ago

The phone calls are coming from inside the house!

[–] corbindallas@fedinsfw.app 9 points 2 weeks ago

i just need a few reasons to not feel punisher level rage against rapeublicans

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

It's weird how the cons claim they are the majority, most Americans support their great and common sense platform, etc., etc.

And yet. They have zero interest in having fair elections.

Because they know if there was a fair election with low barriers of voting for all citizens they'd all but cease to exist

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

"Most" Americans meaning the ones who live in all that red empty land on the maps.

[–] HCSOThrowaway@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Most Americans do not support the Republican party, no.

[–] mic_check_one_two@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

That’s the joke. A common talking point among conservatives is that they are actually broadly supported by a silent majority.

[–] HCSOThrowaway@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Looks like I misread it because I remember a completely different sentiment from the comment I replied to.

Ah well, the folly of multi-tasking.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

In addition, they'd point at surveys that showed how people identify themselves (conservative, very conservative, moderate, liberal, very liberal). This is after decades of them smearing the term "liberal", mind you. Not to mention decades of the "liberal media" pushing the notion of being a "moderate" as some kind of unqualified good.

What they don't want to talk about is polls that probe people on their position on policies.

They are seditious, traitorous, pedophile supporting ENEMIES OF OUR NATION.

THE GOP ARE AN ENEMY TO OUR COUNTRY AND THE WORLD

[–] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

They have convinced themselves that the president is right, that the Dems cheat, so they feel it’s okay that they do it.

[–] Fribbizz@feddit.org 1 points 2 weeks ago

They have for decades been at the forefront of cheating. Which party broke into their competitors offices to so on them? Who used the supreme court to stop the count in Florida, where after the fact it was found out they would have (narrowly) lost?

They know they cheat at every opportunity, so they need to accuse their opponents of the same.
