They WANT us to think its rigged so we don’t bother to vote, they don’t have to actually cheat to win they just need us to think they CAN cheat so we give up and don’t vote, if your vote wasn’t important they wouldn’t have worked to make it harder for folks to register to Vote!

Since the end of the Cold War, democrats have created 50M jobs and republicans have created 1M.
The Republican propaganda that Trump “inherited” a bad economy from Biden and is making it better is the exact opposite of true. The numbers don’t lie and people know what they are experiencing.

The thing that really struck me is a scene from election night 2024. I’d never seen the cover they were going to run if Kamala Harris won.
