    Totally normal to claim past elections were fraudulent and then hamstring the departments responsible for election security.

    it’ll be fixed, it’ll be fine, you won’t have to vote anymore

    Intentional.

    Can’t be letting the PEOPLE, of all people, vote. They might not vote for the right person.

      To be fair, the people didn’t vote for the right person last time and that was a completely free election. Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all those other forms of government…

        Our democracy was low quality to begin with because of the electoral college creating a two party system. Many countries have things like referendums and proportional voting. Any pushback to trump that isn’t fundamentally compromised and shortsighted will campaign on improving democracy. Unfortunately we have the democrats.

        There hasn’t ever been a real democracy in America. Only by comparison to obvious autocracies can you call it a democracy here.

    Axing CISA was such a mask-off move in my mind. of course if you want to tamper with voting and computer systems in the US, why wouldn’t you?

    The only way we can have a fair election in 2028 is for the states to collectively ensure that.
