Still think elections will solve this country's problems?

Millions of fake mail in ballots flooding in for weeks after election day, millions of illegal immigrants flooding into the country producing fake "Americans' to vote away your rights and property.

Elections only are legitimate when they are a common people with common values using them to peaceful resolve political differences.

Beyond that, they are nothing more than violence in a different form.

I wish it were in person, one day, national holiday, and a finger dip.

Lol, no! If voting could seriously change anything, they wouldn’t let us do it.

That would be a legitimate argument, but explain how Trump was elected?

Look at how pathetic the turnout was for the primaries. Elections aren’t the problem, a dumbass unmotivated electorate is the problem.

I've been asking the same question for over 10 years.

Trump's either part of the Deep State, or the Deep State is not anywhere near as powerful as advertised.

Which is it?

Notice how the government keeps functioning largely the same regardless of his victory, how quickly his EO’s are undone, how Congress stymies his entire agenda, how slow they are to confirm his appointments, how every government agency and judiciary openly resists his actions and ignores his cabinet.

Primaries and runoffs are a PITA around here sometimes… condensing polling locations, hard to find candidate platforms, too many cats to slog through to learn about.

I have time to deal with all that- but a lot of people just don’t.

Election fraud in some key states and cities is most certainly a problem.

The man won a national election twice for the country's highest office and still claims the fix is in. Worst fix ever.

Yeah, but Trump didn't just squeak through once, he was elected twice.

Non-consecutively.

Only one other POTUS in history accomplished that.

Again, only two possibilities if we posit the existence of a "Deep State."

1. They allowed Trump to win twice, wanted him to, which means he had to be—at least—an unwitting tool they employed to serve their purposes (the useful idiot, as it were), or—at most—a willing accomplice.

OR

2. They weren't powerful enough to keep him from winning twice.

I can't think of any other possibilities if we start with that premise.

Balderdash.

They just don't care.

People make time for what they want to make time for.

(There are exceptions to every rule, but by definition exceptions are rare.)

Voting has always been an illusion to give people the false belief that their opinion matters and their vote counts. Whoever you vote for, the deficits explode, the debt is astronomical, the MIC is fed, and government grows. Someone show me the social contract, because I never signed it

He won by a whole fricking lot the second time, the dems fricked up the cheat in 2016.

Not by themselves, but then that’s always been the case.
