and also i honestly really don't believe the election is rigged bullstuff anyone says ever. if people were actually good at rigging elections, they would:
- have already won earlier elections when races were tight (i.e. hillary clinton would have won 2016)
We would've never known in most cases, and in 2018 something similar did happen where there was a sweep of republican senate and house
and suddenly democrats took back some of the house.
- have used less obvious methods of influencing the elections
In the past, they likely have. And in this case, they did the same thing they said publicly would happen. A "red mirage" except
because the timeframe for stuffing ballots post-election was cut down significantly, they couldn't hide it in a slow slope.
I'll admit, the sudden jump was stupid obvious. but that doesn't change that it happened.
- would have used their powers in the government to ensure they win all elections (in ways aren't just trying to expand voter turnout)
This reason contradicts your previous reason. And theres no reason to say that this hasn't happened for decades.
It's been an open secret for years that politics is dirty, and this level of cheating is commonplace. But they definitely used to be better at it.
But the older generation never got with the times. and the newer generation sucks at this kind of cheating.
if Michigan or Wisconsin had jumped like it had last night, in 1992, could anyone have possibly noticed as fast as they did now?
The internet has changed how people can view elections, and that unveils these once powerful tactics.
They weren't obvious in a pre-internet era, but now most people use the internet, and these tactics are obvious and everyone is watching this election.
the second point is the sticking point for me. somehow, the democrats are keeping this whole rigging operation extremely secret. there hasn't been a single whistleblower for their project compromising democracy. people in this country take democracy extremely seriously, so damn right there would be at least one whistleblower. you would then think that if they are so stupid to literally dump 200k votes into one candidate they would be also stupid enough to have blown their cover months or even years earlier. there's just no way this adds up for me.
There have been several people caught on cameras doing various different suspect or even outright criminal acts of fraud. But usually, like the ones from Veritas,
I show them, I post them. Then people go and search "[Name of the Video or Controversy] DEBUNKED" and find their favorite square glasses tv talkshow-type-tuber
and use that as evidence. Dismissing the whole thing before looking into it internally.
same way why not all of the Annoying Orange russia stuff adds up for me either. Annoying Orange and his family are literally cartoonishly stupid, and while they did end up having some ties to russia (meeting with agents in 2016, etc) nobody ever found proof that russia severely rigged the election for Annoying Orange. if they did, we would know by now. there are so many journalists out there searching for the next watergate that they just would've found and reported on something like that at this point. same goes for what i said earlier about the democrats rigging this election. the michigan/wisconsin bullstuff is probably something mundane in how they report ballots.
The russiagate stuff happened pretty much right after Annoying Orange won in 2016. It started with seeds of statements like "russia may have interfered" and it all leads back to Hillary making that off statement. And there was evidence to suggest she was involved in many parts of the investigation.
But the russiagate scandal is so big and complex as far as who did what, it's just a nightmare to even talk about.
