Is Saying Wait For The 2026/2028 Elections A Right Wing Talking Point [View all]

I mean please read Greg Palast's article in the Guardian about how Magats purged Democratic votes. Palast has the numbers. There was a 3.5 million vote swing to Trump which means that Kamala Harris actually won the popular vote.

What good does it do if Democrats don't address this purging of valid votes?

In 2022 Democrats were primed to pass the John Lewis voting rights act which guaranteed everyone the right to vote. 2 Democratic Senators killed the bill - Kristen Sinema and Joe Manchin.

The Supreme Court ruled that we have the right to own a gun and before anyone can take away our gun it must go through a court. Americans are supposed to have the right to vote but that vote can be taken away and said voter does not even have to be told it was taken away.

It is too easy to purge mail in ballots, just claim the signatures don't match, or some other lame excuse. I am going to switch to in person voting.

Please don't insult my intelligence about provisional ballots, I call them "placebo ballots" they get tossed.

Please stop with what Democrats did wrong, the election was rigged and unless that gets fixed saying that we will get them in the next election is a right wing talking point.
