A CENTRIST Democrat? There is a higher chance of running into Spiderman in Gotham City (and yes I say that knowingly)

There shouldn't be ANY cheating or any hint of cheating. We still need to be concerned about it. What about the hijinx in Arizona at the moment? And Pennsylvania being able to count votes with incorrect dates, etc.?

The Republicans will stop talking about election fraud when we stop seeing indicators of voter fraud in blue districts. Today 25% of precincts in blue county, Maricopa County Arizona ,can't get their votes tabulated for various excuses "out of toner," "precinct captain entered password too many times," etc. Machines are down in Mercer County New Jersey.

Election fraud suspicions are exasperated when blue districts drag out vote counting for absolutely no good reason. It does not take days and weeks to "count" votes. It takes days and weeks to manufacture votes and steal elections.

These are real concerns that have to be resolved if trust is to ever be earned.

I have listened to democrats caterwaul about "stolen elections" in every major GOP win for the past 20 years. Almost always for the most stupid reasons, such as vague accusations of "voter intimidation," "hanging chads," "racist" voter ID requirements.

So, if you don't like Republicans talking about election fraud then clean up the bullshit. Otherwise, you can kiss my Texas ass.

Alex, with all due respect, you either underestimate the corruption or you turn a blind eye to it. From what I'm reading about voting issues in key locations, the fix is in... AGAIN.

Alex, love you man, but when are you going to acknowledge that the Dems have consistently been election deniers?

Why are they?

Just voted in North Scottsdale. @20-30% of vote counting machines in Maricopa County are malfunctioning. Yes there is election fraud alive in AZ and the overseer of this debacle is Katie Hobbs, the Democrat Party's candidate for Governor. Can't make this sh*t up.

How can Republicans NOT talk about election fraud? A Pennsylvania judge TODAY just said ballots can be counted until the 14th. The 14th! That doesn't sound hinky?

Too many Democrats continue to suffer from TDS. They will double down, convinced they know what is right. They will view a bad election for them as just a bunch of dumb deplorables who don't know what is good for them.

And if they dump Kamala... good luck with the black vote. And no, I don't capitalize it.

The 2020 election was stolen. We need to talk about it. The evidence is overwhelming, but no court has ever agreed to see it. 77-78 million people were disenfranchised in 2020. It's just a fact. Sorry you don't like it.

It's clear from early reports already that there are hijinks afoot. Machines malfunctioning in large numbers... in key battleground states like AZ and PA and NJ. Imagine that!

And 40m mail in ballots, and the White House and corporate media priming the public for the notion that "it could take a week to find out what the result is in some districts"... erm, what?

Reminder to everyone that it's NOT normal to take days and weeks to count votes, until very recently (and in other civilised countries also) you usually know results by midnight, or at worst by breakfast the next day. This whole narrative of "it could take weeks" is blatantly 'spin' to cover up major interference, which is not common in large volumes, actually — this is a not a historical norm for the USA.

Additionally, it's extremely rare for voting machines to malfunction in significant numbers (think about it ...the companies would be sued into oblivion/out of business if this was commonplace), and it's ridiculous for that to be happening in mainly the key swing/contested states, statistically speaking. The machines are not sentient, so if they fail in large numbers they should be failing in large numbers at *random* across all 50 states. If that's not the case, then dark games are afoot.

Right, Alex, all these voting machines are not working in NewJersey and AZ, they are running out of ballots for in person voting in Pennsylvannia (they know Republicans vote in person), they are suing to illegally count votes that aren't dated (the attorney is the Steele dossier guy). Yeah, we feel really confident they aren't cheating. Nightmare. But I do hope you are right. Thanks for the update.

Voted! I just don’t know how it happened. My ballot magically turned from blue to red. It’s crazy because it’s been blue for so long. The change must’ve been something about high gas prices or a novel vaccine being forced on folks; something about threats to take away jobs and excluding students from college campuses. But wait, no way, that couldn’t had happened. I’m sure that was all a nightmare.

Postal voting and the use of machines makes it easy to manipulate results. I mean, you have been on the receiving end of government induced suppression for the last 2 years but for some reason, the same mendacious people would not stoop to manipulate results? Your blind spot is incredible.

I wrote the very same thing to a friend yesterday. After this drubbing, if they were smart, they’d forced Biden to resign within days, do what they can to get a charismatic centrist Democrat confirmed as the new vice president, tell Kamala (equally despised as Biden) that she is a figurehead (cooperate or get forced out), and begin running a two-year campaign to position the new centrist vice president as the Dem candidate against Trump or DeSantis in 2024. The big question is: who do the Dems have that meets that definition?? I can’t think of a single one. They have no respectable bench players right now who can step up.

Katie Hobbs’ new name: Hanging Chad Hobbs

I believe you are correct but missed a major point. We are on the edge of an economic crash that may even eclipse the 1929 crash. Having some right wing companions to share the blame with may be the only way to save the blue party from oblivion. It’s going to get ugly and when the music stops you don’t want your team to be sitting in all of the chairs as the floor drops out from below.

They should pick a centrist but from what stack of candidates? They if they don’t go Biden again will most likely go Newsom. He is the furthest thing from centrist. He defines wokeism.
