Oh, lovely. They've sent me a mo-ron.
From Sidney Powell.
Why not have one of each? Shouldn't differing views be represented?

I mean, if you like losing presidential elections, sure? It's winner takes all in each state, and you only need more than the guy with the second highest vote.
I am from a Westminster system country, so I tend to view such things differently. I tend to want a multiplicity of parties, so that a multiplicity of interests are heard.
The bit about how people have complained about this system for years, and that it's why Hillary beat Bernie in 2016, and that Bernie knows but didn't say anything...
I think we need a complete teardown and rebuilt of our electoral security, and we need to know how many politicians on both sides have been using this shit to fuck with elections.
Because if this has been going on since at least 2016, and likely far earlier...then we haven't had legit elections in years, in places these things were used.
America is founded on our Constitution, not on 'traditions'; a Constitutionalist Party would be the closest you get to a legit 'traditionalist party' in the US.
Of course trad-cons, and much of the Far-Right, don't have much more respect for our Constitution than the Far-Left does.

one views America as a failed experiment the other would trade America and her allies to the highest bidder. Remember how Hong Kong was sold out. Never forget. Never lower your eyes to the enemies at your back.

Ha! Knew it.
Sounds like the original plan, from what she said, was giving Trump a negative count and giving Biden a positive count for his ballots. That way, you don't end up with overvoting. But Trump got such a high count, it broke the system.
Massive bomb shell. And as skeptical as I want to remain--I believe her.
EDIT -- Well, that didn't turn out well did it? Hope she knows a better lawyer than the one she stares at in the mirror every morning.

She's staking her reputation on this. Did the instigators for Russia Gate got let off easily?

Whats the NSA doing during all of this anyway? As I recall it was the NSA chief who warned Trump that his election/transition HQ at Trump Tower was under surveillance prompting it's move back in 2016.

That does give me hope. Now only if Gab and Parler can take the place of Facebook, Twitter and other heavily censored social media...
I was not talking about my own philosophy. At this point, any rightward shift would be welcome, so long as it is sustained for a significant time and does not peter out after a few years. Marxism didn't conquer West overnight, after all... its offensive has lasted since 1918.
We have other stuff t worry about.
Plus the NSA has had i think 2 directors since I have been in the Army so.
So, actually doing our job unlike the CIA apperently

They'll need to clean up their act a bit first. There are actual /pol type Nazis on there, harassing users (real harassment, not "he's not using my fictional pronouns" harassment). I've posted a bit on Ruqqus (a Reddit alternative) and their Israel sub is full of white supremacists calling everyone "Shlomos". As a Jew, why would I ever want to post in a place like that? And I've heard Gab is even worse (not sure about Parler). These places are just going in the other extreme. Now the ideal model, I think, is this forum. Founded on free speech, but slurs and genocidal ideologies are punished here. We even have some trans people here, and evidently they feel safe enough on here to post (and if some don't, then the mods haven't been doing their jobs). That's the kind of place we need as a viable alternative.
growing up my mother would call me a shlomos any time I had trouble waking up in the morning.....
It's one thing being called that by a Jewish mother (although it's just a private name, must be a diaspora thing...) it's quite different getting posts like this when you're just trying to enjoy the site:
This is a matter of routine over there. If someone wants to create real alternatives to Facebook, Twitter, Reddit etc, going to the other extreme and creating a Digital Wild West style platform is NOT going to work. If this place was also full of racist slinging slurs left and right, I would have opted to go back to SB despite their censorship.
I can take some internet abuse, but there's a difference between flipping off the occasional moron and wading neck deep in shit. If 50% of the posts I see is racial and personal crap, why should I "grow a thicker skin" instead of just going away, since I'm clearly not wanted and since being there is clearly not enjoyable to me?
173,000 unaccounted for voters in Detroit from precincts which record ZERO registered voters that would have required over 100% voter turnout with 97% of the votes going for Biden.
Oh and its also the same places that put up boards on the windows to block observers.
Skip to 21min in if you wish to get straight to the meat of it.
