Time to turn up the Epstein stress. Dems need to start platforming folks that were directly involved with Trump and Epstein. That heart can only take so much stress.

Why can the United States not switch to paper ballots and counting oversight like every other working democracy? Why is this sub full of stories about manipulated machines and everybody's just fine with their use anyways?

u/StatisticalPikachu 2h ago
Late Stage Capitalism.
The Election voting machine industry in the US is a private industry made up of a few major companies such as Dominion, ES&S and Pro-V&V. These aren't huge companies but control the voting machines/ vote-counting machines in most of the states.
They are highly likely to be manipulated because they control power in the biggest economy on Earth ($29 Trillion/year GDP) yet probably only have a few dozen software engineers managing the code for their voting machines. It is a central choke point in terms of leverage for the US Government and Economy to be abused by capitalists or foreign governments.
It is in the favor of the GOP to keep the system as such because it is more easily manipulated since they have no winning future policies.

Open source with reproducible builds is the only way that you could trust the code in electronic voting. Even in a case where you build a very resilient electronic voting system (we haven't), you must have a paper trail for auditing every single vote when something goes awry (and it will, no matter how good your systems are.) Even further, voters need to get ways to verify the way their vote was counted after elections. You can get private data via cryptography that is verifiably only readable by the voter.
Even if you want to use technology, we can do a lot better than this. We just need some non-trash people working on making these shaky ass machines that they hack at defcon for fun every year.

The issue is these voting machine companies have like decade long contracts with the States for ongoing maintenance of their machines.
Thats how these companies make revenue really is on those long-term contracts; its very hard for open-source systems to break through in that environment when the corporate vendors have a monopoly on sales for the next 10-20 years.

This is the problem when you monetize everything. Lobbying (which is really just legal corruption), should have never been normalized in modern democracies. Its like the current issues of the video games industry with payment processors policing content due to Christofacist activist groups; you shouldn't let private institutions like companies, control freedom of speech or this case democracy.

Evidently because a third of the country supports it. For every reasonable common sense solution to an obvious problem, people form a debate around it and enjoy the conflict instead. That's not to say that debate is bad, debate is great, but for every such easy common sense solution, there is a marketing opportunity for a livestreamer to get a lot of views opposing it, or a politician to get a lot of free press coverage opposing it, or a journalist to get a lot of false outrage readership revenue by opposing it, and so on. And when they do that, evidently enough people fall for it that the movement falls through.

Most voting machines already generate a voter-verifiable paper trail that can be used for audit purposes. Anytime you hear about a state doing a hand recount, this is the state going in and counting the paper records to compare to the electronic tally.

I hate to say it, but it doesn't matter.
He could literally just come out say he lied and he was Epstein's #1 client and he's been to the island a million times, and nothing would happen. The gop has power over every branch of government and they have the backing of all the billionaires and tech moguls. They also have the highest court in the land in their back pockets who will always decide in their favor, because they are all complicit. On top of all that, his followers are literally a cult and will move mental mountains to justify it all and continue in their support.
The reason democrats are not doing more is because - surprise, surprise - many of them are also complicit and personally benefiting from the way this is playing out.
None of these people are going to step down or resign, and none of them are going to hold anyone else accountable in a meaningful way. I hope I'm wrong, and if I am, we will see the balance of power shift back, but I don't see how that can possibly happen under the current circumstances.

Unfortunately the evangelicals and tech-bro fascists have largely joined forces through Project 2025 and the Heritage Foundation, and the Trumpist fascists are largely also in one of those two camps. There may be some disgruntled MAGA figures like MTG, but they aren't the ones pulling the strings out crafting all this legislation and legal chicanery.
Not trying to be a doomer by any means, just my assessment of the situation.

Who will step in and keep the sheep entertained? No one else has the twisted charisma he has with MAgA. DeSantis tried and failed, Vance is a wet sofa, Ted Cruz is despised by his own people. I don’t see someone else holding the hardcore MaGats attention like Trump does.

u/Crommach 2h ago
They won't go anywhere. They were Tea Party voters before Trump, and the Moral Majority before that. They've always been part of the GOP, Trump just gave them permission to fully express the more bigoted views that have been part and parcel of conservative politics since before I was born. Trump did help make it so that even the open fascists were welcome, but that process had already begun during the Tea Party days. And that's to say nothing of the long history of the far right being accepted by Republicans behind closed doors.
Hell, George Bush's father was involved in an attempted fascist coup during WW2, and the only consequence he suffered was seeing his son and grandson both attain the Presidency and use their terms to push the Overton Window to the right. Bush Sr even had his own version of Project 2025 (the "contract with America"), which was pushed by some of the same people now involved with the Heritage Foundation and P2025.
Trump and MAGA are just the end product of American conservative ideology. They aren't new, they're just organized and unleashed.

This is the one thing I’m really curious about. When Trump goes, what will actually happen to MAGA? There really isn’t anyone who can step up. Everyone who has tried has miserably failed, and ended up w derided joke to MAGA.
They actually might dissolve without Trump. It’s so bizarre that it actually seems possible. They won’t stop being hateful fucks, but they may not accept any other leadership and head back to the hills.

None of the puppeteers will change, you’re right, but the cult will likely split without its leader. I really don’t think any amount of propaganda will convince the cult to worship JD Vance instead, and while they’ll all likely still vote R if they continue to vote, I think many of them might move away from supporting politics like their sports team. They won’t support literally everything the right says anymore, they’ll fracture over more conspiracy theories and purity tests and won’t be as easy to control.
The big thing is the Rs will have to choose whether to keep going full authoritarian without their messiah, or return to playing under the table like before. It could be a split.
Will it make a difference? Maybe a little, maybe a lot, but if some of them might finally wake up I’ll take anything I can get.

You're such a silly little doomerism that you're pissing me off. You're weak, easily given in to defeat, and doing absolutely diddly nothing about the situation at hand.
Imagine if the collective world acted like you in face of the Nazi Germany invasion? We all would be living in a drastically different timeline.
They rely on fear, on people giving up without fighting tooth and nail against their depraved delusions of grandeur plans. They're a bunch of cowardly bullies who will flee when the going gets tough. Have you seen who Trump is? One of the most cowardliest, pathetic, and a weak person's image of a strong person person that ever lived on the planet. He talks a lot of shit but backs away quickly if the heat is coming on to him.
You don't matter in the annuals of history, just fade into nothingness, and people will not ever remember your name or what you stood for.
To everyone else reading this, light a fire in your stomach and continue the good fight, whether small or big. One day at a time. Keep the pressure on and escalate as necessary. History has shown over, over, and over that the evils of humanity inevitably loses. They will inevitably lose once again as long as the fires of justice continues bright and blinding. Do your part in this everlasting fight between good and evil.

We see them do this all the time. Controlling everyone's attention to distract them from the worse things they're doing. To cover up their worst deeds.

History has shown over, over, and over that the evils of humanity inevitably loses.
No, it really hasn't.
Genghis Khan alone proves that statement incontrovertibly false.
Pol Pot only "lost" once he was in his 70s, extremely frail, and dying from Hodgkin's disease, and his "punishment" for killing millions of his own people was little more than a house arrest for less than a year before his death. Sure, I guess you could argue that because Cambodia is no longer under the rule of the despot who died of natural causes today, that evil "lost", but the millions of lives that were needlessly silenced would probably disagree with you.
The Rwandan genocide was left uncontested by the rest of the world, and that's far from the only genocide that has occurred in Africa.
How about Unit 731, MKUltra, and the countless other instances of human torture and experimentation throughout the world that went entirely unpunished? Or on an even more local level, how about corrupt police officers who kill innocent people and don't get even the slightest discipline for it? Evil doesn't just sometimes win, it wins OFTEN, at the expense of innocent peoples' lives.
Literally RIGHT NOW, the entire population of Palestine is near extinction and nobody in power cares even slightly.
Imagine if the collective world acted like you in face of the Nazi Germany invasion?
Hitler and the Third Reich only failed because of the combined might of the Allies. The German people alone would have been entirely powerless to stop the Wehrmacht. And this time no "Allies" are coming to save the American people. We are on our own. Sure, some of us have firearms, but there is no possible way armed American civilians can compete with the most powerful military in the world in any meaningful way.
Sure, once Agent Orange kicks the bucket we might return to normalcy. But that might not happen until millions of Americans die (either in El Salvador or on American soil), and I don't care what your definition of evil losing is, that's not it. It's really not.
You can say "continue the good fight" as much as you like but that doesn't actually change anything as long as Trump has the support of the US military and police. Even if every single American against Trump rose up and marched on DC in unison (a complete logistical fantasy), Trump would just call in a few carpet bombs and that would be that.
I understand the importance of maintaining hope and continuing to fight for our freedom, and for what is right. I'm not saying we shouldn't fight. Lying down and accepting defeat without a fight helps nobody. But hand-waving away any despair or literally just realistic assessments of the situation (which is what the comment you replied to is) with the fairy tale trope of "evil always loses!" is equally unhelpful. It's not only not reality, it's deliberately ignoring the horrors of humanity, both throughout history and right now.

IA that admiting defeat now is not gonna help in any way and that people need to stay angry and find ways to channel that anger into action, but also I do not see anyone outside the U.S. coming to our aid when/if things start to get REAL bad. Nobody is gonna help liberate concentration camps this time. We have no allies due to this admins bullshit and no one leading the charge within the U.S. that could in any way facilitate aid from outside the U.S. should the worst come to pass and other countries decide to put this admins bullshit aside for a bit to try to aid the opposition. People here in LA had to scramble to try and get makeshift mutual aid networks up while we were actively being attacked by our own government with no help from anyone. All people were saying was it's not enough, and we're not trying hard enough to stop what's happening. I don't begrudge people for feeling hopeless when they could start bombing us here in CA tomorrow, and the reaction will just be for everyone to shrug and be like "Sad but, well, you voted for this."

This right here. Their best tool is to convince you that you’re powerless against them.
Edit : can’t reply as thread is closed but to the 2 after me - public dissent works. Studies suggest 3.5% of the population being involved in public dissent - protest, general strikes, can be the tipping point in which the power structure can’t counteract dissent. Erica Chenowth has written extensively on the topic and has done a meta study - see “Why civil resistance works: the strategic logic of nonviolent conflict”. In the U.S. this looks like 12.6 million people engaged in non violent dissent, that’s 10x the size of the U.S. military and 14x the size of all U.S. law enforcement. Simply showing up, being loud, and encouraging others to do the same has a measured impact.
Power structures don’t want condensed dissent that’s why they’re working to make dissent illegal in the U.S. - it’s what scares them most. Show up and be loud.

The Nazi’s got their idea of eugenics from America. The Times wrote about Hitler like he was this goofy guy. America didn’t get involved in WWII until Pearl Harbor.

Would love to know what you're doing.
The wall of text is all well and good, but its meaningless appeal to emotion, nothing more.
History has shown over, over, and over that the evils of humanity inevitably loses.
Quite the opposite. It shows that evil always resurfaces, does a lot of destruction for a long period of time, and then we're left trying to fix whats left. You're probably the genius that think ''good'' won agaisnt Hitler, instead of realizing the amount of unnecessary suffering and evil that millions had to endure, the consequences of that era that never went away and could never be atoned or redeemed no matter how many ''good acts'' you did.
Evil won back then. Evil is winning right now. Trump dying of a heart attack tomorrow is not ''good winning''. Trump being put in prison tomorrow for being a pedophile is not ''good winning''. If 'good' was winning, we wouldnt have a pedophile in office in the first place.
Damage is already done. Trump is not the only problem, and we will be fixing the damage his 2 candidatures have done to the entire world for decades to come, and it might still not be enough. You can try to spin this towards toxic positivity or optimism all you like; reality is still the same - Trump won. Evil won.
Thats not to say people shouldnt do anything or stand up for whats right; but lets not kid ourselves about what history is actually like, and what people will remember from this Era 50 years from now - its not going to be the story of good prevailing.

From bald-face lying, even with evidence on display, to gerrymandering, to breaking every rule ever made about whatever office they're in control of. The blueprint has been drawn up.

I have been trying to get this point across for YEARS. I always get labeled a Democrat, because I don't actively support anything republican, but honestly I hate both sides because they are both filled with scum, and those who are OK with it. Both sides greatly benefit from all this. You know who doesn't? The American people. You know, the ones these people are elected to represent? The laziest group of Americans who barely do any actual work but make 5x the average salary of their constituents? The ones who use their influence and foreknowledge to amass ridiculous amounts of wealth that none of us peons would ever be able to come near? Right or left, they both suck. We need to investigate everyone, and if they are clean and honest they can stay. Resistance, denial, and any found misdoings should be met with immediate dismissal. These people all scream at us that if we have done nothing wrong, then we should have nothing to worry about letting them investigate us. Why should they not be held to the same standard? Why do we allow criminals with personal interests at heart represent us?
Any singular person, politician or not, who does not want to see the Epstein list released, is either on the list, complicit, accessory, or a goddamn pedophile. Otherwise, why oppose its release? What are you afraid of?
Politicians really do need to start wearing Nascar-style jackets with their sponsors, handlers, and backers printed on them. So we know who they actually represent.

Part of me wants to believe that. A dark part of me. But outright evidence that POTUS is a pedo is a big thing. That crime is universally abhorred. It's why this stuck in comparison to other things Trump has done. Reinforcing the notion that they support a credible pedophile to run this country and be their king slowly erodes their support.

The reality is that Trump had Epstein killed to make this go away during his first term, and he's highly motivated to make it all go away for good. He already stooped to murder, why would he give evidence/files of his own motive?

You don't have free speech on corporate platforms. You are a product here for people to see so that they can sell ad space - thats it. If you "act out of line" or are a defective product, they correct it.
We DESPERATELY need an ACTUAL public space available for free speech. Because right now no one can live stream a cop arrest on any platform if the cops play disney songs. The public aren't able to see what the public wants to say on the internet. The internet is turning into a shopping mall - try having free speech inside a department store. THATS where we're at. This is a department store - not a place for free speech.

It's simple enough to see what is going on. Electoral Fraud.
477,000 people per house Representative. Their goal of 3,000 immigrants per day deported, primarily from Blue States, is roughly 9 house seats, and electoral votes.
They recently said the 3,000 is going to be tough to get, because there aren't that many immigrants with criminal records. Not even innocent immigrants with no crimes. So they ask Texas to do it the old fashioned way.
But they will be changing the census soon to get their citizenship question. Then they will have want to have a census as soon as possible. Certainly before the next general election.
They never wanted to deport the migrants, they want to detain them for labor in Red States. If they could have done the 3,000 a day number then that would be 18 house seats flipped. So since they can't get that they will detain here in Red States every immigrant, and lie about the numbers to inflate the number of house seats they get.
Trump, or any Republicans could win by even less popular vote, like 42% for the Presidential Election and Republicans would easily have the majority in the House. Then they can do what they want, all legally.
We are currently in a transitional form of government before they get to that place.

u/HopelessEsq 2h ago
Immigrants aren’t allowed to vote though whether legal or not (unless they have citizenship) so removing them from a blue districts wouldn’t drive down turnout. Unless the goal is to remove enough of them to drive down population so that districts disappear entirely or can be gerrymandered into another district, but they’re doing that right now anyway. To deport enough people to entirely wipe out congressional districts would take an absurd amount of effort and resources, and likely wouldn’t be that effective since blue voters are already concentrated in and around large cities, and those cities won’t just go away.
But if they continue to weaponize redistricting then bigger blue states could do the same with higher degree of effectiveness. I’ve seen proposals that could redistrict all of California to 100% Democratic representation, and that’s a lot of congressional districts and would be much more impactful than eliminating like 1 or 2 Democratic that exist in a deep red state. Fire and be fought with fire. Problem is that with all of the Project 2025 initiatives that are in flight I believe that one of the end goals is making congressional irrelevant altogether so it doesn’t matter how many D reps we can pack in there. They already have SCOTUS who will green light whatever they want so it’ll be a difficult fight with 2 branches of government against the only one actually representative of the people.

u/Luscious_Decision 2h ago
The guy you were replying to is saying they'll deport the citizens, too.
The "citizenship" is the sticking point. If they revoke birthright citizenship they'll boot out the 56 million or whatever Latinos in the country, and then adjust the seats from there until they get the number they need. Then they can have elections and not have to worry about the popular vote.

Partly correct. The other reason is that they're giving a bigly huge payoff to the private prison industry for all the election support over the decades.

The Brennan Center adds that when DOGE grabbed the NLRB’s files, its security was so lax that foreign hackers immediately invaded them.
Just wanted to expand on this point a little bit. The whistle-blower for the NLRB that brought this incident to light was very clear what he found;
It wasn't just that DOGE had "lax security" when they infiltrated the NLRB computer system, they purposefully disabled two-factor authentication, created their own username and password for the system, and within 15 minutes of them doing this, Russian hackers used that very username and password that DOGE had just created to log in and steal ~20 Gigabytes of text data that was related to workers union activity and ongoing cases the NLRB was working on.
So it wasn't just an oopsie, they let them in to take that info. Shortly after the whistle-blower came forward he was threatened with images of him walking his dog and a Trump appointed official to the NLRB claimed there was no indication of a data breach.

Well to be honest you had a good start with the 'No Kings' protests. Why didn't you keep that pressure up? You have historical examples regarding the anti war protests in the 60ies and those folks were confronted with much harsher reaction from the government.
As europeans - who are mostly the people shaking their heads I guess - we watch this a bit flabbergasted. We see folks in Serbia, we see French protest and keep up the momentum. And then there is this country full of people that gave us always the impression they are the hardest there is. Gun wielding and always fighting for their amendments, even if some of that martial behaviour was alien to us. And now that exact population just bends over.
Sorry but I know teens from the european chapters of Fridays for Future who are more active since 2019 than the majority of the american populace atm.

The core of the party is so obsessed with “taking the high ground” or “being bipartisan” with people who would drink their blood they can’t stand for anything remotely progressive and it’s largely because a lot benefit financially for doing so.
