A place to discuss politics and offer political commentary. Self posts are preferred, but links to current events and news are allowed. Opinion pieces are welcome on a case by case basis, and discussion of and disagreement about issues is encouraged!

The intent is for this community to be an area for open & respectful discussion on current political issues, news & events, and that means we all have a responsibility to be open, honest, and sincere. We place as much emphasis on good content as good behavior, but the latter is more important if we want to ensure this community remains healthy and vibrant.

Content Rules:

  1. Self posts preferred.
  2. Opinion pieces and editorials are allowed on a case by case basis.
  3. No spam or self promotion.
  4. Do not post grievances about other communities or their moderators.

Commentary Rules

  1. Don’t be a jerk or do anything to prevent honest discussion.
  2. Stay on topic.
  3. Don’t criticize the person, criticize the argument.
  4. Provide credible sources whenever possible.
  5. Report bad behavior, please don’t retaliate. Reciprocal bad behavior will reflect poorly on both parties.
  6. Seek rule enforcement clarification via private message, not in comment threads.
  7. Abide by Lemmy's terms of service (attacks on other users, privacy, discrimination, etc).

Please try to up/downvote based on contribution to discussion, not on whether you agree or disagree with the commenter.

Because it was.

Wait.

Hear me out.

Remember Cambridge Analytica. Rigging elections is a perfected profession now. We’re talking about deep rigging, through manipulating voters very targeted and algorithmically.

2016 We know they did it. We know Mueller could not really link anything to anyone. The cloak and dagger was very well done. This is something both DJT and Russia are really good at. The corruption is implied but never explicit or provable.

2020 They attempted but somehow it didn’t work. I don’t know how, but at least DJT must have thought it was locked in. So did Putin as he was planning on doing the whole Ukraine thing without meat grinding his young boys. But his puppet somehow didn’t get back in and it increasingly looked like Trump would face serious consequences from the 92 charges against him. So Putin went in.

2024 Having learned from both 2016 and knowing the stakes being so much higher, the rigging was in much deeper and serious dark pools of money with Musk at the top ensured a sure fire win. I’m sure genocide Joe, non-nominated Kamala and the assassination attempt all helped, but they were both very motivated and certain they would win. Project 2025 and a bunch of language in his speeches suggests they knew he would win.

I have no proof, but him being a rigger and a cheater in every other aspect of his life makes me feel he’s just pissed off his fix didn’t work in 2020.

Curious if I’m the only one who thinks this.

I will never understand how NE-2 went blue with so many others turning red.
