  • It’s not about election denialism. This is the standard problem with conspiracy theories being based on reality. Voter suppression has happened in small numbers and small ways for the last century. Pick your poison. Are we talking about felons being disenfranchised? Are we talking about taking native Americans off their roles because they don’t have home addresses and they use po boxes? Are we talking about rejecting college kids because they’re out of state? Are we talking about mailboxes being set on fire? Are we talking about polling places that are not handicapped accessible and never will be?

    All of those things continue to happen and each of them plays a small part. I don’t think that would make a break the election, not this time when the difference was so large, but it could make a break some elections.

    And as long as it’s left unaddressed, voters aren’t blind, they can see the shady shit. So then what, then you just don’t know how bad the problem is, and the same people that you would trust to compile data on how bad it is are the same people whose job it is to fix it, but they haven’t, so you can’t believe anything they say.

    All of which is to say, if people are skeptical that the game is fair, that’s based on proven reality from decades of experience. But that doesn’t mean it affected this election.

















  • Of course the criminal justice system is not just. Ask any poor person who’s gone through the process and they’ll tell you the same thing. Ask defense lawyers how often prosecutors, cops, and judges either lie or bend the law to work in their favor. This is old news.

    What’s more specific about this case is that the attorney general could have proceeded rapidly following January 6th and he didn’t, and that’s disgusting. Because it’s not like nobody saw this coming.


  • What’s funny is that your comment doesn’t even make sense. I think most Democrat voters would honestly happily say that if you think Biden broke the law too, then go prosecute him.

    For people who plan on following the law, there is no double standard, there is no hypocrisy. And when people focus on hypocrisy it typically means that they endorse criminal activity, and they’re just upset that someone else might get away with it when they can’t.
