A paper ballot audit WOULD change the election, because the 600,000 bullet ballots would not match the paper ballots and would be thrown out. That's why Leon is threatening Spoonamore with "the hammer of justice".
I’ve been stunned by their deafening silence and then seeing our last vestiges of news anchors and op-ed hosts capitulating to TFG and his Neo Nazi cabinet.
They have the attitude now of “you’re on your own, good luck!”
I thought the same thing and then decided to let it go. It's getting old believing they will get their shit together.
Seriously they have some great politicians but they suck at messaging and communication in general.
From a foreign perspective, I am equally baffled by the post elections complacency displayed by the democrats, some notables aside. If I had voted blue I would be mad as hell.
Some of us from SC knew how 2024 was going to go when they hired Harrison. They RNC worked much harder & smarter than the RNC. If you comb the media article for "Republican Latin Outreach" it's clear they were campaigning hard for 4 years. When DNC started in Aug, it was already over. #NewParty
There is ONLY ONE current option left to save Democracy - President Joe Biden could leave office for health reasons - Vice President Harris would become President Harris (with immunity thanks to the corrupt SCOTUS) & as The Commander-In-Chief NOT leave office / the White House -> Military Tribunals
History is repeating. Whatever s**tstorm is coming, remember there is nothing new under the sun. Study history and learn from it. While MAGA repeats mistakes from the past, this gives us an edge. We must learn from the winners in political history. They not only survived the storm, but thrived.
Dead on. Maga infiltrated every facet they could on the uninformed people. We had plenty of exposure and plenty of money. Then campaigned like “business as usual”. Now we hear boo on this. The way people receive information is not MSM. They don’t even have cable tv. We need new strategies now!
luv her!! but do not agree on the point that the party is in ashes. the party is in the best shape, in terms of policy and leadership and successes, i've ever seen in my 75 years. we must turn our sites from each other and onto the culprit: half the country has been brainwashed with red propaganda!!
yup; IT'S THE PROPAGANDA, STUPID!! and deprogramming just one cult member is near impossible, let alone tens of millions. somehow we must wrest the free speech shield from their 'legal' vise grip and insist it cannot mean everyone's free to lie, mislead, and defraud us into fascism!
I believe that too. Both parties need to go "back to the drawing board" and determine what they believe and stand for. If Republicans want to be white supremacists say so. If the Democrats want to be a ship lost at sea tell us. We deserve better.
In the largest city in MO, where Dems did not visit or even open a Dem campaign office, KCMO, but instead opened out in the county. Result? Our county went for T—even as the county next door in *Kansas* voted Harris. KCMO Dems just did not show up to vote. Worst run campaign here since McCaskill’s.
Pelosi ended my respect for her when she publicly humiliated Joe Biden. Maybe he should have stepped down, maybe not, but there was NO need for celebrities & friendly fire to hit him like that. It's turned me off all of them. Now Pelosi is consorting w/the enemy? It won't save her.
We need to encourage Biden to use SCOTUS given Presidential Immunity to void 2024 Election until there is a full recount of at least Swing States. Reality, MAGA/GOP plan is to deconstruct our Democracy and create Fascist state with Trump as Dictator.
Institutionalist is Biden's greatest impediment to seizing the day and taking extraordinary action. BUT, as Biden and we watch Trump's henchmen of democracy deconstruction empowered, maybe, just maybe, Biden can be guilted into avoid being impotent President who allowed Democracy to be destroyed.
Americans who value Democracy must cease assuming our Constitution will protect us from Trump's Fascism. Trump and MAGA Republicans intend to abolish Constitution and establish Trump/MAGA autocracy. Only extraordinary action of Biden using Presidential Immunity to void election will save America.
actually, I think we need to be careful not to overreact to an election that was doomed from the start. Every incumbent leader of a country is losing recent elections, bc of global inflation.
Let the Republicans lean into thinking they did everything right, and Dems will start winning again & soon
Hey, Chaz. I don’t think I am overreacting. Project 2025 has scary shit in it. Racist Rapist Felon is pushing the envelope right off the desk and his minions are bending the knee.
I don’t disagree with her in that respect, but hey — we can disagree and not call each other horrible names here. 😉. I fear where we, as a nation, are headed.
I’m not sure how it works on a Chrome notebook, but you could type “saved” or something as your reply to the post. Then, you should find your Profile (on phones you tap 1/
thanks. I actually did that but it must have been the wrong term bc I just got a safety pin. What do you mean "check Profile/replies?" I must apologize for how dumb I sound right now but am confused.
So you put the 📌 on a post you want to save. It’s in your replies. I haven’t done it yet, but you are supposed to be able to search your replies for the 📌
I’m new here too. Just learning as I go. 😁
Also, what do we call a post here? I refuse to call it a tweet.
It’s a way of saving the post. You can find it in your replies later. I see articles that are interesting but I might not have time to read right away.
I am hoping there is something big coming and the dems don't know about it; just a select few in the cabinet. I am hoping for the best and preparing for the worst.
This is why I have regeistered as an unaffiliated Independent. After 43 Years a Dem, just can't deal with them bending the knew to the Orange Shitgibbon which is what they are doing.
I have been screaming since Hillary Clinton ran for president, Dems are too nice! They should've screamed about Trump's history of corruption but they didn't.
I wrote a blog about Trump criminal history for 4 yrs and he was still elected in 2016 and 2024
I’m not a conspiracy guy, just a rational thinker. But the number of split ballots and ballots with only the president voted for seems beyond normal. Shouldn’t the Dems at least question it? Guarantee, if the results were flipped that fact would have the GOP all over it.
Absolutely. And I’m stunned that the race was called so quickly. 2020 took four days. No one will ever be able to convince me there wasn’t fuckery somewhere.
Amen. Unfortunately, I would bet everything in my checking account (not much) that in four years the Democrats will roll out the same old pig with fresh lipstick and will be shocked that they failed again.
Yes. I like Ossof, Pete Buttigieg, Katie Porter (not new but dang good at making points), and I look for David Hogg to be a force as he gains experience. Who else?
The problem has nothing to do with the candidates. It has everything to do with strategy and messaging. The Democratic Party no longer resonates with its key demographics.
Why is Kamala not demanding a recount,since data experts are warning of fraud. Why isn't Pres.Biden enacting exec orders to monkey wrench project2025? To erase all student loan debt; ban fracking; pardon his son;staying in office until the election tally is proven valid? #StandUp4Democracy
I've been shocked by how glibly the national leadership has been about handing over the government to fascism. As usual, there is no fight or sense of urgency about the moment we find ourselves in. I think Biden is going to be remembered in a similar way to Paul von Hindenberg in 1933.
Damn, and she isn't wrong.
Folks the Dems have to step up and be the party of the under served, the party of the struggling and ignored, we out number the billionaires
I agree. But the billionaires own everything, including us. Start with that premise and visualize the scope of the problem. Makes Dems silence in these desperate times all the worse.
Leigh is amazing! I know here account here is being held hostage, hopefully she'll get it resolved soon so we can see her on BlueSky iampoliticsgirl Leigh McGowan. If you want to find her on other platforms.
Trump thrives having an enemy. Silence allows Trump and his supporters to flail about seeking attention. It's the one thing we have NEVER tried. Allow MAGA to fully realize the hellscape they willed into existence.
Allow the dust to settle. Once they wake to their reality, they may listen to us.
I get every bit of this frustration, but I am torn. We tried resistance for the last 8 years and got beat over the head. Let those that voted this hell into existence wallow for a minute in their prize. People will never learn of Dems keep cleaning up the mess. The silence actually IS different.

Please help us influence some words of comfort, support, and affirmation from Democratic leadership!
A lot of folks are scared and confused, and we need your help.
They have the attitude now of “you’re on your own, good luck!”
i'm not holding my breath
Seriously they have some great politicians but they suck at messaging and communication in general.
Do you know how to move a camel in the desert when it doesn't want to move?
Literally, you put a pile of sticks under their butt, set it on fire & eventually they move.
We need to play this on loop until they do something
Either way, Trump is going to persecute Biden.
We need to urge Biden to immediately resign so Kamala Harris rightfully becomes 47th President of United States and first Woman President.
Perilous times. Need a new generation President, Harris, to boldly use SCOTUS Presidential Immunity to save US from Trump tyranny.
#BidenResign
No matter who wins, the minute the election is over they go back to not giving a flying fuck.
I only vote for them bc the GOP is much, much. Worse.
@aoc.bsky.social help!
Let the Republicans lean into thinking they did everything right, and Dems will start winning again & soon
What I mean is that her video, she seems to think Dems need to make major changes. That’s where I think we need to be careful
This election was actually closer than it could’ve been; given inflation (& Trump getting grazed by bullet)

Thanks for explaining it to me!

I'm a lifelong Dem and I'm furious
All talk of Trump win and how to resist is appalling if Harris actually won.
Evidence indicates she did. It just needs proving.
