Also, can somebody please prove that this isn't real?

Their update said FEMA confirmed it. Lady needs to be jailed.

Well, I guess if you’re gonna talk about mental states how about I start a “does Trump have Alzheimer‘s” thread? I am sure Jmog will show his significant knowledge and give us an assessment. I will pre-ban her lock geeblock from the discussion.

Not allowed to say that unless you are a medical doctor. You should know better than that.

Dude, you have beaten that to a fine, dusty powder.  Please, please let it go.

I think most people here were immediately repulsed by what the Dems did. Only a couple were openly happy to sit and watch it happen. 

I might be over estimating that, though. Because come to think of it - only one name comes to mind.

A new narrative is in the works.  It will begin in full sometime after the congressional make up is solidified.  It will dominate media talking heads.

These people are devious and despicable. Biden had the audacity to call Trump voters "garbage." Probably shouldn't throw stones in glass houses when there's no level low enough that your party's voters will stoop to.

Harris has done zero contesting of the results.  We know that would not have happened had the voting gone the other way.  Several posters in here insisted she’d hold up the results by immediately suing if she lost.

The Dems are trying to sue in PA for the senate race, but more or less agree. A lot of the so called cheating allegations could also be relieved if certain states weren’t such shit at counting ballots. And in Arizona, I think it’s the repubs who made it so shitty.

I’ll send her a sticker.

You'd think they'd put up more of a fight if the other side is literally Hitler.  Odd.

It's almost like that was bullshit the entire time

Not my point.  The guy who won threw a shitfest onto our country last time and indicated he’d do the same again this time if things didn’t go his way.  Whenever that last point was brought up on this forum, it was always met with an “oh she’ll pull the same thing if she loses.  Maybe she won’t be as vocal, but she’ll do it through the courts.” 

Well, she lost and that’s not what’s happening.  So maybe even his strident supporters can acknowledge that others don’t handle losing like he does.

Or it almost like one acknowledges and respects election results  and the other is Trump

Both sides don't like to lose.  Most of my voting life is rife with this stuff.  Trump did not handle it the way he should have.  The last time Trump won the other side subjected the country to the Russian hoax.  It remains to be seen what this round will bring but book it it will come.

Boogie go email Liz Warrens office about it. Then AOC and Pelosi, Maxine Waters, etc

You know, the people with the actual power to contest an election? Those same people who have been rumbling and mumbling and insinuating for months?

Ok noted.

The 20,000,000 extra votes doesn’t help a lot. Nothing fishy.

In the grand scheme of things not many really rode it out. This election wasn’t close.

Kamala and the Dems are better losers if you want that noted. You should print up some shirts on that.

I wonder if Kamala would have tapped Josh Shapiro that he would have helped her bump through the stagnation of her campaign? 

After watching the Walz/Vance debate, I thought Walz was way more relatable and likeable than Kamala was. But then he started getting called out for more of his lies and his own kind of weirdness. So, I just can't help if a younger, more articulated person would have helped her. I know he was too Jew for the moment, but he was just a better person imo. Plus, I think he could have helped her get some of those swing states.

Or am I completely wrong and her VP wouldn't have moved the needle in any way?

You missed the point, which isn't surprising.

Would've helped in Pennsylvania, but she still would've easily lost the other 6 swing states.

The truth is Kamala was just a terrible candidate, and her actual campaign was some how worse than her.

I don’t see how it couldn’t have helped. They knew they had an issue connecting with men, and they went with a flamboyant goober, and tried to pass him off as “manly”. He didn’t even win his home county. The gender thing also played a big issue (3rd behind economy and immigration from polls I’ve seen) and he was awful on that. Shapiro seemed a lot more polished without the baggage besides his religion. He should be a front runner to run in ‘28. But not sure any of that would have had a measurable impact from Kamala hiding for months before speaking and then not being able to actually vocalize what she stood for or her policies. 

Another question I have is this. I keep seeing all these reports of reliably blue counties in blue states that had moved to the right in this election. They are still blue, but much less so. Is this a one off thing due to the circumstances of this election or is there a chance that it's going to be a trend?
