MODERATORS
"Election Skeptics"? "Activists"? Why does the media insist on treating Trump and his MAGAt Republicans with kid gloves? Call it what it is — seditious and traitorous acts of election interference.
Exactly what I came here to say.
They're not "skeptics," they're cynics. They don't care about the truth, they just want to manipulate the process. They don't believe in democracy, they want an autocrat who will control the people they hate.
i don't get why every outlet says "trump" instead of "racist rapist convicted felon con man trump, who definitively lost in 2020"
So treason then?
No. Treason is betrayal of a country to a foreign power. Willfully attempting to sabotage the government of said country isn’t treason, it’s just sedition. Regardless, I’m for locking these MFers up for life.
I'm pretty sure the right is deeply infested with Russian interference
Ctrl-F's for "Merrick Garland"
What is an election skeptic? Is that like a climate skeptic? The term is fascist thug.
Election Skeptics
Who?
Dictatorship enthusiasts
Aaaah!
Seems like that would work a lot better if election officials didn't receive training...
