As the saying goes, voters get the government they deserve. Don’t like the current administration? Direct your ire at the two thirds of American voters who made it happen. 🫠

I personally can’t believe 85,000,000 eligible voters experienced four years of this moron and still thought sitting at home on Election Day was a good idea. 🤷‍♂️

But hey, no need for voters to make showing up on Election Day, November 2024 so he gets to be president again! 🙃

Charlie “Horst Wessel” Kirk? That one?

Sure. Public projects just hire those people with public funds to carry out the task. No need to “developers” to get a cut.
November 12, 2025 at 10:58 PM
Public projects. Stop voting for conservatives.

Just wait until you guys find out who controls all the agencies with the power to charge cases and arrest suspects. Lol

Seems like you didn’t understand so I was just trying to help you out. Oh well, I’m sure things will work out for the US without citizens taking rightful accountability for their actions on Election Day. It’s worked out so well thus far. 🤷‍♂️

Even if we take that as fact, which we can’t, the most generous reality based analysis puts the “fuckery” count at around 5 million. 85 million didn’t vote.

I’m sure you can tell which one is the bigger factor. I’ll give you a hint: it’s the one 17 times larger than the other.

America did. ;)

Plus they are effectively hostages. A citizen makes a mistake at work and gets fired, they go home. These workers make a mistake at work and get fired they get deported.

You’re not wrong but they who the people elect decide the definition and priorities regarding “public good”.

Long story short: elections have consequences.

Try to remember that if there’s another legitimate election in the US ever again.

Seems like everyone pretty much agrees? What am I missing?

The way for the “rigging” to be defeated is by voters showing up. Republican tricks RELY on voters maintaining apathetic rates.

Even the most generous reality-based assessments put the impact of republican gaming at 4 to 5 million votes. About 85 million voters stayed home. One is clearly bigger.

Fun fact 2: Harris’ tax policy would have been a huge first step to taking the axe to republican fiscal policy. I guess she assumed that building on the most progressive administration in a generation would be something voters wanted. They chose the other option.

Voters.

Fun fact: democrats tried to pass an election reform package that would have ended citizens united and much of the other money that ruins politics. Voters didn’t give them the seats to overcome republican obstruction then decided to hand control to republicans outright.

Voters.

I’d say if you want to fix things you need to focus on the main problem: the laziness, ignorance, and apathy of voters.
November 12, 2025 at 1:48 PM
May have been, but had voters actually shown up no amount of republican fuckery would have mattered.
November 12, 2025 at 1:22 PM
Only one of us is attacking republicans’ opposition.

You’re just slow, huh?
November 12, 2025 at 5:37 AM
Republicans thank you for your support

Sounds to me like you didn’t hear the whole segment. But hey, americans and intellectual laziness are like bread and butter at this point.

Hahahahahaha you really think that? I have an awesome bridge for sale. I’ll give it to you cheap. And only a small percentage down payment!

Go watch Lawrence O’Donnell’s rundown on this. You all are freaking out over nothing.
