That’s a shocking headline, but true: Many are aware that 90% of Republicans currently agree that Joe Biden “did not legitimately win the election” due to vote fraud, but how many remember that as late as 2018 70% of Democrats believed that “Russia tampered with vote tallies in order to help Donald Trump get elected president”.
The latter has far far less credibility than the former, which has yet to sufficiently prove their case either, but the widespread perception of voter fraud in the United States is clearly established. Both those figures come from The Economist and YouGov, so they aren’t some obscure poll manipulated just to give credence to a political viewpoint.
Therefore, the one political viewpoint which may have the most bipartisan agreement in the United States is that American elections are consistently fraudulent – among American losers there is 80% agreement, after all. Maybe we should sound a third on an old American saying: “That’s more American than motherhood, apple pie and fraudulent elections.”
This perspective will amuse many; certainly guts of any credibility the idea that the US is the “model democracy” other nations should minutely follow; must be analysed seriously because the situation is quite, quite serious. Eighty percent of politically-active people who lost the last two elections think they lost to voter fraud – I hardly know where to begin?
Well, the good news is that half the country couldn’t care less – maybe they are the smart ones.
We read and heard so much nonsense about both Joe Biden and Donald Trump getting “the most votes ever”, as if “population increase” means nothing: Since the 1970s US voter turnout has averaged a woeful 54%, so let’s not pretend that endemic political indifference isn’t as American as motherhood, apple pie and fraudulent elections.
Yes, November’s turnout leapt to an estimated 67%, the highest here since 1900, but at what cost? Answer: a divided, obsessive, hysterical, suspicious, intolerant, furious society. The US mainstream media flagellated the public with the idea that Donald Trump was truly the worst thing in global politics since Adolf Hitler for not months but years in order to achieve this increase in voter participation. Is any American really pointing to the 2020 election as a success?
For the half of America which is normally politically active the 80% statistic can’t be ignored. It shows us that the electoral system in the United States is absolutely rife with disaster, mistrust, hypocrisy, elitism, dishonesty, opportunism, cynicism, (and because I’m not paid by the word I’ll just add) etc. It’s such a dysfunctional system that non-Americans have to ask themselves: “Maybe all their repeated hysteria really is justified?”
The anti-Trumpers have a simple answer: all these problems are caused by Donald J. Trump, and thus I am over-amplifying what will surely prove to been merely a four-year aberration. The problem with this very, very widespread belief is that it ignores the election debacle of 2000.
But how can we ignore that? We can perhaps ignore “Rutherfraud” B. Hayes, because that integrity-sapping election was in 1876, but the disenfranchised African-American Floridians of 2000 cannot look in an election booth reflection and ignore themselves.
And yet, ask many of those who feel their candidate is about to win in 2020 about the year 2000 and you’ll be amazed how many Americans have already moved on from the way-back, bygone, irrelevant, antediluvian era of April 2019: Back when the candles of Saint Mueller (that was a piece of sacrilegiousness you could actually purchase, please remember) guttered out in the absolute nothingness of the Mueller Report on the Russiagate allegations that “Russia tampered with vote tallies in order to help Donald Trump get elected president”, to re-quote YouGov’s poll question.
Widespread belief of voter fraud in the US is thus not new at all, and that is entirely the point to not gloss over in your personal opinion regarding the current US election.
And yet nobody here thinks for second that this repeated election madness will produce any long-term changes, and I am referring to moderate types of common-sense changes which fall quite short of being “revolutionary”. Many don’t even genuinely want long-term changes:
On the right you have whom I refer to as “American Salafists”, who think a golden era can be installed by reverting back to the time of prophet George Washington and his companions, and also by believing the US Constitution was produced by divine revelation. These people believe these things prove the superiority of American institutions, and yet in 2020 they also believe the election system is terrible and rife with fraud.
On the left you have “leftists” who since 2016 have undoubtedly become pro-war, pro-Deep State, pro-corporate, pro-censorship and, bizarrely, incredibly pro-transgender bathrooms (until the coronavirus knocked that off the front pages). But to put 2020 Democrats in a historical context: you have people still devoted to the multi-century ideas of (hysterical and proselytising) American Manifest Destiny and American Exceptionalism – both concepts rest on the idea that American institutions are 100% worthy of being universally exported. These people believe these things prove the superiority of American institutions, and yet in 2019 they also believed the election system is terrible and rife with fraud.
The schizophrenia of all imperialist cultures: ‘Obviously, we’re the best/Obviously, we look like we’re the worst’
The 20 years of election fraud claims prove that even if first-time voters just can’t imagine that Baby Boomer pro-Trumpers could possibly be right about anything, the reality is that Santa Claus will not come down your chimney later this month and that the US system of politics and political culture – and not merely their electoral system – is so bad it defies description.
It defies description because we don’t even know where to begin, and – spoiler alert – this article will not provide you with the key to fixing it all.
Is the most important is angle to report on this: Do we realise how intolerant the US has become? If your side loses, it’s only because the other side cheated; as long as your side wins, who cares what the losers think – they’re losers.
Or maybe the most important angle is this: The most common rejoinder I read in the US media about those who dare to defy almighty Facebook and suggest that there was voter fraud in 2020 is that they “don’t live in reality”. Do the winners of the quadrennial US presidential vote get to define “reality” for everyone else? I guess I didn’t realise the US presidential election was so very important. Do they get to define “reality” for non-Americans too?
Or is this the most important angle: Do Americans realise that you can’t just “turn off” four years of hysteria any more than you can immediately shift a car from 5th gear to 1st gear? Have you seen the “retribution lists”, harassment and intimidation towards those who want to discuss voter fraud in 2020? One must concede that pro-Trumpers didn’t stoop to this level, and the even relented on prosecuting “Crooked Hillary”. Who knows, maybe the oft-repeated MSM certainty that pro-Trumpers were going to shoot up Main Street will still be proven to have been solid journalism?
I can go on and on giving you ideas which are all worthy of separate columns, but I’ll cease and say that I have already relayed the most important angle – one of the absolute top ones, at the very least: Eighty percent of US partisan losers think the last two elections were stolen.
What this means is that the half of Americans who are actually politically active no longer have faith in the integrity of their system, while the other half had none to begin with. This is why at this movement we are observing in the US a mad scramble for power, privilege, political territory and dominance by any means necessary, and which is all-too-happy to ride roughshod over people, history, ideals, notions of fair play and integrity.
Let’s recall that this is exactly how Americans created the state of Oklahoma, to give one example of US political culture, so what has really changed here? If you get to the top of the US mountain before anyone else, just as an “Oklahoma sooner” got his or her land when the territory was opened up to White colonists, who and what you stepped on doesn’t matter.
Now that their frontiers have closed and it’s no longer a unipolar world Americans are forced to look only inward and they’re finding that the US electoral system is awful and fraudulent, and that’s because it is from a culture which is entirely based around imperialism and capitalism.
(I guess I did provide a key to fixing it all? One of the absolute top ones, at the very least.)
All this multi-decade dissatisfaction should imply that I am describing a pre-revolutionary sentiment in the US in December 2020, but that’s only if we forget that we are talking about an imperial hegemon. The smothering of dissent regarding repeatedly false elections which have ever-less domestic credibility – this is merely what Western democracy (i.e., neo-imperialism) looks like across the West: in Greece, France, the US, the EU, their neo-imperial client states, etc.

@ It shows us that the electoral system in the United States is absolutely rife with disaster, mistrust, hypocrisy, elitism, dishonesty, opportunism, cynicism, (and because I’m not paid by the word I’ll just add) etc. It’s such a dysfunctional system that non-Americans have to ask themselves: “Maybe all their repeated hysteria really is justified?”
Its been said that America has the worst possible electoral system in the world, and it is because money is involved in politics. It has bascially become the engine that powers its own machine at the cost of its own citizens.
And yet, money in politics is entirely appropriate – indeed, inevitable – in a system that believes in the total privatization and capitalization of literally everything in life. In that sense, the old saw “the best government money can buy” becomes less an indictment of an openly corrupt, bought and paid for government serving exclusively the interests of the few with the ability to pay, and more of a simple, openly boastful, statement of fact. Likewise, the throwaway line “In God We Trust” becomes an open acknowledgment that money – the coin of the realm – is our one and only true god. The electoral system is thus just a political manifestation of these underlying core beliefs/principles.

Awesome video. I live in England, and have never been to the USA, though I do have close family still living there, though most have come back home to England. I have travelled a lot in “third world” countries, always as a tourist, sometimes hitching in my youth with my girlfriend now wife. I found great happiness and welcome, amongst some of the poorest people in the world, I guess because, although they were poor, they didn’t realise it, because everything was slowly improving. It was getting better. It was getting better for me too in England. When I was 7 years old, I played in bombed out mills on the way home from school in Oldham. I was born a few years after the end of WWII.
About 10 years ago, when I realised what had happened to many parts of the USA, it seemed far worse than the poorest parts of India, so I sent $10 to Feeding America. I may do it again for Christmas.

Dmiry Sudakov wrote a truly excellent article on this topic, titled America Ugly, https://english.pravda.ru/opinion/84316-ugly/ . A must-read.
“Now that their frontiers have closed and it’s no longer a unipolar world Americans are forced to look only inward and they’re finding that the US electoral system is awful and fraudulent, and that’s because it is from a culture which is entirely based around imperialism and capitalism.”
You nailed it, Ramin. Imperialism and capitalism are built into our national DNA, along with the “chosenness” that brought Europeans to this continent in the first place. It’s the same chosenness that brought the Ashkenazim to Palestine. It justifies slavery, rape, and the pillage of indigenous people, their land, and resources. If you don’t believe me just ask any Native American, or any Palestinian.
At this point there’s no fixing anything. The AngloZionist Empire will ultimately collapse just like all other empires and be buried in the sands of time. Problem is, both the USA and Israel have the Sampson Option and are more than willing to take the rest of the planet with them in a nuclear holocaust. And, both nations have a messianic view of history based on a final cataclysm that will bring on a new age, which is a bunch of hooey but that won’t stop them from destroying the planet in the process.
Problem is, both the USA and Israel have the Sampson Option and are more than willing to take the rest of the planet with them in a nuclear holocaust.
Indeed, Tommy! I guess we’re all doomed now to live in suspense until we find out the answer to that question. Will they or won’t they? I, like you, tend to think that they will.
I’m sure the real perps of 9/11 are working on a redo that will happen sometime before January 20th. That will be the pretext Trump uses to declare martial law, suspend the Constitution, and stay in power under the USA Patriot Act. The neocons at PNAK made sure the act was renewed on a regular basis ever since it was first enacted in 2001. They’ve been a fixture in each subsequent administration including Trump’s.
That’s why it makes almost no difference who actually won the election and why Trump has packed the Pentagon with yes-men. His administration, especially Pompeo, is acting like he’ll be in office indefinitely and they’re probably right. I expect the Trumpsters on this site are all for it, too.
A lot of American elections, and at least most of the ones at the presidential level, are stolen. Internally, of course; there is no demonstrable foreign interference. The means of theft are both illegal (fraudulent votes), legal (voter purges, hurdles thrown up in areas unlikely to vote for the locally approved candidate), and between legal and illegal (computer “malfunctions,” intraparty cheating). Both parties are, of course, guilty of the most egregious acts of theft.
The USA is fundamentally incapable of conducting a clean election of consequence.
The breast beating of self-loathing Americans solves absolutely ZERO except perhaps gaining y’all a little fellowship online.
If that’s what y’all need …and all you’re here for…..because you can’t imagine gaining anything more than that for the sake of all humanity………..go for it!
But why settle for so little, which won’t really amount to a hill of beans, (ditto the rest of your petty little personal pleasures) once you have “shuffled off this mortal coil”???
For Better or For Worse, Much, Much More is at stake for all 8 billion inhabitants of the earth, right now, in this electoral fraud EFFECTIVE (as opposed to many past impotent complaints) exposure within the US …
which has Freedom From Imperial Dominion Potential in very much of the rest of the world besides…….
than your ephemeral pleasures in fellowship and impotent commiseration.
And yet Mr Hagan dearly hopes for the collapse of the society every single one of those poor and utterly dispossessed in the Underdeveloped Struggling To Develop sector would prefer living in STILL, not for ALL of what it offers (some of which is awful) but for the fighting chance afforded by SOME of what it offers…which actually is more at stake in this 2020 election, more clearly , for more people to see…than any other in history.
As though that would solve anything in any durable fashion, except what George Soros and Klaus Schwab and their demonic oligarch friends desire….
as a necessary step for permanently killing the hopes and reams of ALL persons on the planet escaping their shit hole environments…except FOOLING the ones within America…who are to be SO disoriented by Bernie, AOC, Pelosi etc in Fake Promises of “Socialist” Hand Outs and Obama Immolation of Care (same deal he got from HIS Masters) from a Shrinking Pie…that they like idiotic lemmings will go over the cliff for Agenda 2030….Hook Line and Sinker …..Stupid 19 Lockdowns, Climate Change Hysteria,
AND: ” Bomb. Bomb, Bomb, …..Bomb, Bomb Iran”. (And anyone else standing in the way of those handouts….)
This is what a significant amount of Trump’s voters have FINALLY begun to grasp: Who at the top…and who at the bottom….want …..like John Hagan…to burn their lives down!
In that regard what would be truly interesting, would be Ramin interviewing Iranian-Americans on their diverse views of the strengths and weaknesses of BOTH systems.
Plus black and hispanic Americans who were a YUGE help Nov 3…..in overwhelming Biden’s Touted Vote Fraud Machine….and making it so pitifully SLOPPY!
And some Americans are now increasingly not only acting from self preservation (probably includes a fair number of Iranian Americans….just as it provably included LOTS of Hispanic Americans) but also a wider view of geography and history in terms of the congruence of the Imperialism of those Davos Jet-Setters…and the Military Industrial Complex…..and their exploitation of those poor trying to get in at the southern border …….
In order TO KILL OFF the greater portion of the present population of the planet.
Ah, but Mr Hagan, like so many other self-wrongstious superficial persons, does not want to go that deep.
OH NO!
That isn’t nearly as pleasurable as just “Throwing the Entire American Baby out with the Putrid Pindo Bathwater…..and being done with it!
“Feels SO Good!”
George S and Klaus S LOVE your way of “thinking” John!
But I sort of prefer Rageaholic’s take on Grand Theft Voto:

Body Bags For BlackPills (like Mr Hagan) A Rant
NOW: I don’t love his music but I do appreciate his MUCH much greater clarity of mind and fighting spirit….which IF combined with a deeper understanding of the rest of the world after this fraud is BEATEN……not just…gloated self-rightteously about………………………… absolutely CAN be a decisive step toward a MUCH Better America Toward the rest of the world than falling into the useless emotionalism and TDS John and many, many others suffer from.
George and Klaus are rooting for you!
If that’s ANY consolation!
But from a more sober, less Empire manipulated perspective, I see more to work with…for the benefit of Suffering Humanity …..with Razor Fist…than I do with dupes for Soros and Schwab.
As artists we have the greatest responsibility to differentiate fact from fiction by painting what we see as the truth. This started before Michelangleo and continued through the most brilliant and greatest painters for hundreds of years. The truth here is that yet another the era of greed and moral decreptitude is ending.
And remember ‘Bro 93’ nothing more than satire destroys the seriousness of stupidity.
@ John Hagan
“… nothing more than satire destroys the seriousness of stupidity …”
Beautifully put.
Moreover. As the last line of that great Chinese proverb says
“… And who doesn’t know, and doesn’t know that he doesn’t know, is insane, shun him.”
The state of the system of election in the US is, as of right now, anyway, irrelevant. I say this because even if every aspect of that system had been conducted absolutely perfectly, its last outcome would still have been either a D – Mr. Potato Head or an R – Donito Assolini that would be POTUS for the next four years. 153 or so million voters voted for one or the other. Roughly 10 million voters did not.
Therefore, More Of The Same it will be for the next four years!
Only one “mission” matters to the Oligarchic Transnational Elite Collective (OTEC) that “manages” the western empire — that Rs or Ds are “chosen” by voters to occupy elected positions of poltical power in the US. It does not matter one iota to the OTEC whether it is an R or D that holds those positions!
As it has occurred throughout my lifetime, the OTEC once again accomplished their mission in the election a month ago. Only one fifteenth of the people that voted did not vote for an R or D. The REAL result of that recent election is that the OTEC won a landslide victory in which they are certain to remain the OTEC for another four glorious years. But, as it has been since at least 2000, the only topic of discussion in OTEC’s MSM and among the members of OTEC’s Bewildered Herd, even within the alternative web sites such as this, is the integrity of the election apparatus and whether it will be OTEC’s R or D clones that will live as POTUS in the White House for the next four years, even though either will be, in the horrible end (which, IMO, will arrive far sooner that anyone expects), equally disasterous for the herd and all the people of all the other nations of the world that are suffering under US oppression.
Again, to drive my point home deeper, even IF the system of election of candidates for positions of political power in the US had been absolutely perfect in every way during the last election,153 million people still voted for an R or a D, which means they would still have voted for More Of The Same — which IN REALITY was “willingly” voting for an OTEC to continue ruling over them; voting for a group of billionaires that is only interested in becoming increasingly wealthy, increasingly powerful, and increasingly world-crushing.
It is exactly what happened — how much was spent and by whom — in the lead-up to the election that is of far greater importance than “the integrity of the voting system”. For example, just exactly WTF “led” Noam Chomsky, of all people, to recommend to voters that they vote for D – Mr. Potato-Head for POTUS? Did/does he not realize that in order for better politicians to be elected people have to actually vote for them?! Regardless, whatever Holy Water it was that “worked” on Chomsky, OTEC is going to bottle it and sprinkle it on voters in the lead-up to the election in 2024.
(What’s really interesting to me is to consider the possibility that if the members of the Bewildered Herd quarrel enough among themselves to the point of “coming to blows”, the OTEC just might propose a Constitutional amemdment to completely get rid of this “divisive” right to vote………. because it really can’t be fixed. It’s beyond human capability. Human beings have to conduct it and human beings are innately flawed and, therefore, the results will always be flawed. You can believe that, can’t you? So just get rid of “it” and then things will be great — far less divisive, etc. The way the Bewildered Herd apparently thinks nowadays — that voting doesn’t really matter; it’s an obvious waste of time as the last election just proved (even though the OTEC spent tens of billions to make sure that the herd voted for an R or D when they stepped into the voting booth), etc. — I think there’s a better than even chance that the “ban the vote” amendment would pass …….. which would be great, right?)
I’ve heard it said, ‘you always get the government you vote for, because in the end, the ‘government’ always wins.’ The pigs at the trough are smart, they take turns………..4 years here, 8 years there…………..
btw, not all humans are flawed by greed………………….
Cheers, M
Not the first time Prof Chomsky has advised voting for the “Lesser Evil” – astoundingly…but it is it so astounding??
There is no such thing as a “Lesser Evil” – Evil equals Evil. And the same folks, interests, coffers run the whole bloody (literally) show…
But the “woke,” “the progressives,” (bourgeois almost to a “T”) are no doubt, certainly patting their backs…no end to killing other peoples, money from the MIC going into their pension plans, shares, a return to patina as usual coating of same (or more) obscene barbarism…
Excellent analysis ‘Ishkabibble’ and as you noted “153 million people still voted for an R or a D,”
Deng Xiao Ping “It doesn’t matter whether a cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice.” It doesn’t matter if you have are left or right, capitalistic or socialist, or “democratic” or “authoritarian” government, what matters is if you deliver good governance for the people.
Such a fertile garden full of radishes and turnips yet sadly there is no comedy on any of the major US networks. Is it true that a diet of carrots and drinking only white turnip maliu float has the side effect of hormonal imbalance as well as an increased desire for cameras,
https://youtu.be/j0Bm9dOL-Wc or http://www.cowdisley.com/videos/twoweevils.mp4
As one of the voters in the 1/15 who refused to vote for D or R, I’d say you are overlooking the fact that even before it came to voting for either crook, the System refuses to alllow anyone who is not vetted. Sanders was well on his way to winning the nomination and would have easily defeated Trump.
70% of the entire electorate, including both D and R want Single Payer Government healthcare. In Florida, a Trump state, they approved a $15 minimum wage.
Candidates Bush II, Obama and Trump all campaigned on non interventionist foreign policy. Of course, they were pandering.
The problem is that the political class is united in what it wants, while it uses divisive tactics like Identity politics and wedge issues like abortion or gay rights, so as to divide people’s loyalties based on those issues. That distracts people from voting the 1% out.
The real left, which is anti imperialist, peace and justice and class oriented has been gutted. Imagine if Jill Stein or Ralph Nader had been given a fair shot. We’d have a very different political scene.
However, with mass evictions and foreclosure and hunger bearing down like a freight train, change may happen.
250 million Indian workers and farmers coordinated a general strike. That’s what the US polity needs to do, to overcome the bogus elections and dictatorship of the political class.
sub, I did not overlook anything. I wrote that it was what happened during the lead-up to the election that was much more important than the integrity of the technical voting apparatus/system.
The OTEC :b>IS “the system” that prevented non-vetted Bernie from facing Assolini on election day. Exactly the same phenomenon happened in the 2016 election. On both occasions Bernie was not willing to sacrifice himself for his supporters. “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.”
Neither I nor the OTEC care one bit about what happens over the next 47 months (except the mid-term election, of course) apart from one thing.
All that matters to the OTEC is that in 2024 (if WWIII has not yet occured) the vast manjority of voters will enter the voting booth, and in their, what, 3 or 4 minutes of absolute political power, they once again vote for an R or a D.
All that matters to ME is that in 2024 (if WWIII has not yet occured) the vast manjority of voters will enter the voting booth, and in their, what, 3 or 4 minutes of absolute political power, will NOT vote for an R or a D. THAT “is what the US polity needs to do, to overcome the bogus elections and dictatorship of the” OTEC. At least 80 million voters have got to simply tap their heels together three times and say “I won’t be fooled again. There is no longer any place in Kansas for an R or a D”.
And on election night, 2024, by the actions of tens of millions of not-so-invisible hands, the world would be changed forever. This “threat” is why the OTEC will, from literally this day forward to the 2024 election, once again spend “whatever it takes” amount of printed-out-of-thin-air USDs to make sure that that bone-simple, immensely-liberating-power-overthrowing, absolutely-revolutionary behavior does not happen.
Why the vast majority of people, even Noam Chomsky, cannot realize this is a granite monument to the power of the OTEC and their “money” to manipulate the behavior of hundreds of millions of human beings by controlling the day-to-day environment in which they live (in particular, their educations and, afterward, what they see on their telescreens).
Ramin Mazaheri,
I think you are one of the best journalists around. I loved your reports from France on the ground re Yellow Vests, and now in the USA. You are one of a very rare breed. I am also a big fan of people such as Linh Dinh, who probably never even claimed to be a journalist, Pepe Escobar, Vanessa Beeley and Eva Bartlett
The Mainstream Media now consists of Copy and Paste brainwashed morons who have sold their soul, with very few exceptions. They don’t even attempt to tell the truth. They hardly ever get out of the office, or now are working from home as a result of this COVID nonsense, which almost everyone believes, even though, even the official figures, do not show any increase in death rates beyond what is completely normal.
People get old. It is quite normal to die when you get old, mainly because you’ve got old. Now the vast majority of deaths, even of very old people, are classed as COVID.
I find this highly depressing, cos almost the entire world believes the Propaganda which is 24×7 on all Newspapers and TV channels throughout the World.
This is a massive Worldwide Genocide being conducted by the very richest people in the world, and I can’t think of any way to stop it.
Part of what is going on in the USA, has in my view been deliberately fabricated, by these extremely rich people, to divide “Democrats” from “Republicans”, such that they want to kill each other. Yet they are often living next door to each other, and apart from politics get on really well.
I do have an understanding of psychology, behaviour analysis, and behaviour modification. I was trained in it as part of leadership courses, and was quite shocked when I found that it worked 30 years ago. I never thought it could be used across the entire world, but the evidence strongly suggests that it is being used now.
My only solution to it, is to refuse to wear a mask, and refuse to be vaccinated. I have tried to tell everyone I personally know, but they believe the new covid religion, and so far as I am aware have totally failed to change anyone’s mind yet, about the real dangers that face us all.
They are trying to kill us, and will probably succeed.
I personally wouldn’t mind so much, cos I’m already beyond my sell by date, but I have got two lovely Grandchildren, and I want to be a Great Grandad.
I have travelled for many miles in India, and hardly seen a soul. I am sure the same is true in the USA. I do understand exponential growth, but neither human beings, nor ants exhibit it.
Check out the Indian State of Kerala in your travels.

U.S. elections are not stolen, merely bought.
Thank you for this breath of sanity. I would not want Biden if there were any legitimate question of fraud. But there is none. If you or I made claims of fraud with zero evidence, the justice system would laugh at us. Or hold us in contempt. But the Sore Loosers have the utter audacity to believe they can get away with overturning a legal Presidential election with zero proof. I think that will be hard to beat for pure arrogance. It is also criminal. And as someone who is delighted to be rid of the orange cretin, I hope justice prevails.
At this point, those claiming there is “no proof” are either deliberately ignoring the mountains of evidence that have been revealed or otherwise are simply not aware of it. That said, it’s not our duty to inform you on your behalf. That is your responsibility. All one has to do is watch the hearings in either Wisconsin, Michigan, Georgia or Pennsylvania with Rudy Giuliani to immediately realize that the claims of voter fraud are quite credible. Now stop being a child and go look it up yourself, because we don’t have time to inform every single lazy whiner such as yourself what’s going on behind the scenes.
I’m curious about why the Trumpsters on this site always resort to ad hominem attacks to make their point? What is this mountain of evidence that you are imagining? Every court case that Giuliani has initiated so far has been laughed out of court, in all of the states you’ve mentioned. How do you think this will ever end up in the Supreme Court and what law says that they can overturn the results of a national election in every state?
The only way that Trump can stay in office at this point is to declare a national emergency and then invoke more that 100 special powers under the USA Patriot Act including declaring martial law, suspending the Constitution, and remaining in power indefinitely. What this national emergency will be is anyone’s guess. I’m thinking the real perps of 9/11 are working on it and it will happen before January 20th.
Any resident of an empire becomes an addict. Even the lower income people get hooked on the things the U.S. empire provides: smartphones, motorcycles, 4 wheelers, video games, jacked up trucks. Did I mention food? drugs? We are fat, spoiled addicts who are plugged into our favorite media who pumps us full of fairy tales. The result is that we think we’re special and you are not.
Step 1: admit that we are a mess. (we aren’t there yet)
To be bluntly honest: America is a nation of bloodsuckers–all of them, from Wall Street to Main Street, USA.
And these American bloodsuckers will never peacefully give up–let alone admit the existence–of their American Empire, because that is the basis of their entire way of life, economy, and even identity.
American bloodsuckers cannot be negotiated with, reasoned with, or morally appealed to on any basis.
Whether that be Conservative, Moderate, or Liberal American blood suckers
Neither the pro-Trumptard bloodsuckers nor the anti-Trumptard bloodsuckers.
“If you must break the law, do it to seize power: in all other cases observe it.” – Julius Caesar
Enough said.
Newsflash:
The vast majority of Americans believe that their elections were stolen (by the political party that they oppose)!
Newsflash 2:
The vast majority of Americans believe that the USA is the World’s Leading Democracy and Leader of the Free World. And thus America has a right to invade, starve, regime change, or bomb back to the Stone Age any nation it damn well chooses! All to “Defend Democracy.”
Orwellian American DoubleThink in a nutshell.
These world wide fiascos of election fraud, plandemic deceptions and stock corporate/market/bank corruption seems to be designed to agitate The people of Faith who understand the ‘times and the seasons’. Antichrist followers realize they have been marching to the Adversary’s beat, and their Time is running out. Follow a Liar and receive a Liar’s reward. Mankind has far surpassed it’s ‘best before’ date, and is rotten to the core. Liars, Cheats, and Extortioners will have their reward. The Humble Overcomers who have good conscience before God will receive rewards for their Courage in the Face of all liars. ‘If Thou be the Son of God ,come down from the Cross, and we will receive you’. No, you wont! You will be Dead.
Polarization comes with the territory when it comes to voting. About ten years ago — in my Episcopalian days– my church had lecturer/consultant come in and give presentations, lead discussions. The one thing that I remember was his statement that the quickest way to destroy a parish was to put things up for a vote.
What else can we say about voting? That it is a ritual, that it seemingly appeases the masses, provided it’s done correctly, when the population is not overly polarized to begin with. Is it part and parcel with bread and circuses? Is a regime of voting — at best — a form of collective punishment?
Unfortuately, claims of “voter fraud” are made by losing political parties primarily for the purposes of undermining the legitamacy of the winners. Ultimately though those claiming fraud where no serious fraud exists are just undermining the very system that also puts them in power on occasion.
Interesting Mr. Mazaheri mentions Oklahoma which with Kansas was to be dedicated Indian lands only later to be overrun by white settlers. American colonial expansion is still on going, and the expansionists are not looking inward. They are looking at Asia. Just look at what is happening in eastern Europe and the Middle-east (Palestine in particular.) If I were an Arab leader, I’d be reading up on North American Indian history, and quit playing games with the “white man.”
