posted by BR1986FBHe didn't get some "bad polling numbers" as he's still leading in PA by 1%. Why he's flipping out is that a TV station in Scranton, PA on Sunday night, scrolled at the bottom of the screen that Harris has won the POTUS 52% to 47% and then backtracked to say "oh it was just a test run." They announced the winner of next Tuesday's election already. THAT's why he's pissed.
What?

I’m just saying that’s what the Big Guy’s calling it.
I think Kizer is correct, if Trump wins, it’ll be the fairest election people have ever seen. If he loses, it’ll be the most stolen election in the history of stealing.

I don’t care about any of that. I care about people on the front lines saying they’re not being allowed to vote. There have been multiple counties in PA with issues so far. I don’t care about the Uber leftists blowing up ballot boxes in the northwest. There shouldn’t be ballot boxes in general.

Sorry, saw it wrong. It was the state of PA's results, not the overall election. Claiming a "system test." Kind of odd to be posting those results when Trump is leading.
This website is going to be dead after the election. But let me ask this seriously as a 38 year old who was there for the Internet creation. Wtf would be happening if only the NYT and Washington Post were the news? Twitter is a cesspool, but also the only way to battle misinformation. Was the media really that much more indifferent before? Or was it all propaganda forever and this is what we deal with now? I can’t comprehend what would happen now if there wasn’t video or audio proof to prove people wrong.

I contend it’s infinitely shadier now and the misinformation now nicely outweighs the actual information. I don’t believe it was this way before the internet.
Maybe I’m wrong….but so is much of the news and reports.

Those stories have a way of turning out to be phantoms. I’m sure you will see a story about someone intimidated while in line. Probably if you went back to any election in history, there are similar anecdotal stories. That doesn’t mean any of it endemic.
The US has been a bastion of free elections. Human beings are involved, so shenanigans have always been present. Trump is the modern politician who has damaged the faith in this ideal immeasurably. He’s done it entirely for self-serving reasons with no regard for the damage he has caused into the future after he’s long dead.
This alone makes him wholly unqualified to serve in a public leadership role of any level.

The advent of social media has turned journalism into the Wild Wild West. There used to be something called "journalistic integrity." That was thrown out the window in the last few years. Something pops up on the web and the "journalist" wants to be the first to break the story and, many times, jumps the gun without all of the info. Used to have to fact check when it was just newspapers and radio.
The media has always leaned liberal but it's gotten WAY out of hand to the point where they are trying to influence people with what to do (see attempts on Trump with their Hitler bullshit). You do have your conservative media (Fox News, etc) and they also lean toward their bias.
My advice would be "don't trust, or believe, the media." Especially outlets like MSNBC.

Puh leeze
The intelligence agencies have done more to ruin public faith in govt elections than any one person. If you read the Twitter files you would understand this. Not only forcing medias to ban and censor the free flow of information, but by publishing the lie that the Hunter Biden laptop story was Russian disinformation. And then after they were caught out they said that they'd do it again.
I will give you props for having the holiest of swiss cheese memories!

Yeah… and we saw how much people lied about it last time too and got exposed when they went under oath I’m not buying it.

The Biden laptop is why I confidently say that the Dem's and government intelligence agencies cheated in the last election. It remains to be seen whether there was sketchy activity at the voting locations but withholding that information got Biden in the White House.

You may not like him but Trump has a pretty strong trolling game and likes to have fun (garbage truck)...

They were in line well before 5pm. If you are in line they are supposed to have to let you continue the vote. They stopped them. Alternatively, other people have said they closed polls well before that in other locations, not politically sided, they can’t and shouldn’t do that.
