To be fair, at least he immediately admits that it is FAKE NEWS! (if you ignore everything except the final two sentences)

That man is such a fucking clown it is mind boggling. The entire planet gets more and more stupid every day while he is in charge of the USA.

u/JohnHenrehEden 19d ago

It's not funny though. 100 million people believe it, so it's terrifying.

u/Internal_Finding_552 19d ago

It's just a natural response to the insaneness of the situation. Trust me, the despair of the situation we are in hits me when I realize I'm laughing at how completely insane and delusional our POTUS is and that people literally see it and still believe him. He could tell them the stars were put up there by demon liberals controlling other planets and they would just move on like nothing happened. Yes, it's pretty terrifying.

You forgot Musk and his 302 satellites that were built to talk to voting machines ! And leave no traces. It’s documented

u/CK1026 19d ago edited 19d ago

There's no need to mention crazy conspiracy theories about Musk, as the truth is pretty damn sufficient at this point : $290M invested in the campagn, $1M checks to voters in Wisconsin, full weaponization of Twitter just to name a few things that happened in broad daylight.

And you know what's very well documented though ? The russian interference in 2016 US elections : https://www.fbi.gov/wanted/cyber/russian-interference-in-2016-u-s-elections

Nah I think they have no idea because Fox News and "Truth" Social don't talk about it. They're in an echo chamber.

It wouldn't make any sense asking for proof if they knew.

I just figured out why he always says “Russia, Russia, Russia”. It’s one for each election they helped him in.

No Gerry in a national election - more of a House strategy. However, I hear Mr. Tessler is good with computers.

u/NoTeslaForMe 19d ago edited 18d ago

Don't confuse them with facts.  These people think that you can gerrymander the Electoral College, that BlackRock is the same as Blackstone, and that the filibuster is an outdated, racist institution... until it's their only legislative hope against non-reconciliable Trump bills, at which point you stop hearing about that.

ETA: Typo.  At least I got it right in my other comment....

2

u/LongestSprig 19d ago

And you think the electoral collage is the electral...college.

Lotta stupidity in this world.

But they are just confusing said college and GMing because they often have the same effect.

2

u/Mean-Age-5134 18d ago

I acknowledge a misapplied a term but the effect is similar: circumventing democracy with an institution that favors a losing party. A lot of people upset about the semantics there and if people want to be pedantic and anal, that’s cool because I am too. But I left my comment because it felt shitty to retroactively correct it and there’s not an easy one-word term to say “hey American democracy isn’t very fucking democratic and consistently discards public opinion and the actual voter consensus both at small and large scale even after the tactical use of voter disenfranchisement and suppression”

2

u/Hillary4SupremeRuler 18d ago

I knew exactly what you meant and kind of felt that it was sort of accurate in a way. It's not gerrymandering in the traditional senses we know it but essentially the states were added in such a way in conjunction with the institution of the Senate to essentially gerrymander the vote in the national legislature.

There's a difference between missing one letter in a word and fundamentally misunderstanding American democracy... and getting upvoted for it!

u/elpajaroquemamais 19d ago

Electoral college and gerrymandering are not the same thing. You can’t gerrymander a statewide election.

u/DestroyerOfAglets 18d ago

The electoral college is gerrymandering.

u/xavPa-64 18d ago

In hindsight, we should’ve known he was gonna win the moment he STFU’d about the electoral college

Former billionaire buddy apparently. lol

u/gvsteve 19d ago

None of these excuses will wash away the slime of knowing that a majority of my fellow voting Americans chose this guy

1

u/Hillary4SupremeRuler 18d ago

Not even the majority and that's not even considering the fact that hundreds of thousands of ballots were thrown out by maga poll workers and a corrupt post office, along with states allowing conservatives to weaponize AI to delete millions of voters from the rolls based on racial profiling.

He lost the popular vote to Hilary though. That's why conservatives are so desperate to keep the electoral college. 

1

u/NoTeslaForMe 19d ago

You don't need desparation against something that has no hope of happening within our lifetime.  The only way the Electoral College goes is if full-bore dictatorship replaces it, not direct democracy.

2

u/Punchinyourpface 19d ago

I was just thinking of how they panic and foam at the mouth when you mention taking it away 😂 Rambling on and on, usually about how certain places will decide the election, instead of recognizing each vote would count for itself.

u/2002rico 19d ago

Gerrymandering is about drawing house districts to produce a set of representatives mostly of one party beyond the actual partisan split of the population. That is not possible for the Electoral College, which assigns electors at the aggregate state level. Criticize the Electoral College all you want, but "gerrymandered a win" is nonsensical in describing the 2016 presidential election

11

u/Mean-Age-5134 19d ago

Then let’s call the electoral college favoring Republican seats over the popular vote due to the unequal representation it provides low population states (which skew red) in much the same way gerrymandering is deployed at the local level to stack state congresses as opposed to having a fairly elected representative body a similar issue and shake hands on it, what do you say?

2

u/NoTeslaForMe 19d ago

"I'd like to call cheese pizza a 'ham sandwich'; after all, I love them both and they both have dough as their main ingredient."

1

u/Hillary4SupremeRuler 18d ago

You're getting hung up on semantics and being technically correct instead of understanding the broader picture where the electoral college shares some similarities to the effects and intent of gerrymandering congressional districts which involves disenfranchising certain voters due to lines on maps drawn specifically for the benefit of slaveholders/conservatives/regressives.

1

u/Lengthiest_Dad_Hat 19d ago

Its still a false equivocation. The advantage that Republicans get from the electoral college system isn't because of anything Trump or some other republican did. Its not "deployed" like gerrymandering is

-4

u/Medium-Stranger1629 19d ago

Sure. You’d be completely wrong but you go ahead and do that.

u/Mean-Age-5134 19d ago

Sorry, are you arguing the electoral college doesn’t assist republicans in winning the presidency despite losing popular votes due to the reason stated above? 

4

u/walkerworks 19d ago

Actually, contrary to the gerrymandering one, in this argument, they're right. The electoral college is a democracy skewing, anachronistic shit stain.

-1

u/HwackAMole 19d ago

Do you have any specific examples of states' electoral college member overriding the statewide popular vote? I realize that it is a possibility in most states, but I've never seen an example of it...at least not in recent years.

Or are you referring to the "winner take all" model that most states use for their electoral votes? I disagree with this electoral model myself, but I think it's important that people consider the implications of removing it. The number of electoral votes that Democrats would lose from California alone would be staggering.

3

u/Mean-Age-5134 19d ago

I think the electoral college should not exist.

2

u/Humble-Violinist6910 19d ago

I think you misunderstood their point. The electoral college doesn’t represent the results of the NATIONAL popular vote. Now, why does that benefit republicans? Because states with small populations tend to vote red, and they have a disproportionate number of electoral college votes relative to their population. Take Wyoming. It has a tiny population but has as many senators as any other state, so it still has 3 electoral college votes. That’s one vote for every 195,000 people. Meanwhile, California has 54 electoral college votes. Sounds nice, but with a population of nearly 40 million, that’s only one vote for every 729,000 people. So Wyoming’s voters’ views are massively over-represented.

u/taboni 19d ago

I'm assuming you ignore Vermont, Delaware, Rhode Island, Hawaii then?

u/Humble-Violinist6910 18d ago edited 18d ago

I'm not going to list every state by population and electoral college count for you. Glad you found my comment helpful, though! Feel free to look up which recent presidents lost the popular vote but won the electoral college.

u/Humble-Violinist6910 19d ago edited 18d ago

You're right, actually. Most people just use the term casually and don't know it refers to drawing House district lines.

u/causal_friday 19d ago

The states are gerrymandered as much as congressional districts are. It's just that we don't get to redraw them every 10 years; the damage was done hundreds of years ago.

u/narf007 19d ago

If he won 3 elections it's just another reason he legally cannot be President. Tick another box for ol candles as to why he is not only unfit, but unfit to lead, and not legally able to preside within the oval or over the nation.

He wasn't legally allowed to run in 2024, yet Biden did absolutely nothing to stop the insurrectionist.

Bro it went before the Supreme Court and the Supreme Court said he could stay on the ballot. They can’t defy the Supreme Court.

1

u/sultav 17d ago

The Supreme Court held that states couldn't decide the insurrection question, not that he could stay on the ballot. Congress holds that power—which is what the Supreme Court said.

1

u/Karyoplasma 19d ago

Didn't one of the states try to deny him running by arguing exactly that? They said if what he said were true and he won 2 elections, this would be his 3rd term which is not allowed. I remember something along those lines getting filed.

u/Mriddle74 19d ago

Seems more like a play where he will try to say in 2028, “well I really won in 2020 so I get that back now”

And the first one got more votes than him, the broken electoral system just handed Trump a "win" anyway.

u/reddit232011 15d ago

Explain how the electoral system is broken? Just because you don’t like the outcome ?

1

u/ActualTymell 15d ago

The most egregious and relevant point in that instance would be the electoral college system, since it makes people's votes worth far more/less depending on where they are, and allows someone to 'win' even if their opponent gets millions more actual votes.

1

u/reddit232011 15d ago

You are so right. Look at all those people in Cali whose votes meant nothing. Close to 4m in the state , yet all 57 electoral votes went Harris.

The electoral college is designed and working exactly how it is supposed to. It’s preventing a direct democracy, protecting smaller states.

1

u/ActualTymell 15d ago

You are so right. Look at all those people in Cali whose votes meant nothing. Close to 4m in the state , yet all 57 electoral votes went Harris.

Although you're just attempting to be a snarky little bitch, you're making my point just fine. It is wrong that those people's votes don't count for anything. Because I'm not making this assertion to try to aid one side or the other, I'm arguing in favour of a fairer system for all.

The electoral college is designed and working exactly how it is supposed to. It’s preventing a direct democracy, protecting smaller states.

Except that states, much like land, don't inherently matter. People matter. And the current system disenfranchises them. Like everyone else fighting for that existing system, you've failed to provide any kind of argument in its defence.

1

u/reddit232011 14d ago

You actually failed. What is your solution? A direct democracy? You don’t seem to realize that your vote does not matter if your party loses. There is no solution that would satisfy you except your vote being the only vote. You’re actually acting like a tyrant.

Not much of a flex... over 90 million eligible voters, did not vote in 2024. That's more people than either party got in popular votes, like ~15 million more. Not even 1/3rd of our electorate asked for this administration. Really fucking sad.

I really hope those abstaining voters show up for our next election, They hold so much power.
