I’m new here but why are there only republicans posting here? Seems on reddit main politics sub there are only Democrats. Maybe just difference in site users? Apologies if someone addressed this before. I keep trying to find a site with a mix of views to see the debating but that doesn’t seem to be happening

Because Reddit has purged everyone who has committed wrongthink, and is thus not reflective of society at large.

This is why I support a new election being called. Its the closest thing to legitimacy this shambles can get. Though the democrats will bitch HARD about the lack of mail in voting and early voting padding that this would inevitably entail.

Its a nice thought, but it'll never happen. Trump's own party wouldn't even give him full backing on this until they realized how bad it looked to their voters and it could fuck them over in future elections. Its a pipedream, and the greatest hope we have at this point is that some future president will reform the voting system to make it stricter and remove weaknesses that are prone to voter fraud. That president certainly won't be Biden, and I have a feeling they won't be coming any time soon after him either. I think the most realistic possibility for any transparency to come through in this election is if Trump finds an overlooked case of hard evidence for voter fraud in these swing states, and thats a case of 1 in a million. This election is pretty much over, and the fraudsters will get away with it. That doesn't mean its worth giving up, but the outcome is all but guaranteed at this point.

I'm not sure if them declaring BIDEN as POTUS can be legitimate until the legal issues are resolved. It's very confusing to be honest. Does the media declaring Biden as POTUS make it so?

Lol of course not.

Would you consider Trump to be a normal person then?

I think he's more ambitious and slightly smarter than the average person - and I think the average person is smart in general when they have correct information.

 

[Gehenna]

I’d say it’s moreso that the insanity and insufferable Idpol politics of the left is what drove off a bunch of us. I was a hardcore bleeding heart, Trump-hating liberal until around 2017 when I realized that I had to constantly walk on eggshells in every discussion outside of forums like these.

Mind, I still don’t like Trump, I just don’t have TDS anymore nor do I believe in 69 genders.

Despite voting for the man, i find him personally repugnant. But I don't need to like someone to recognize and respect that they do their job well.

I'm not a republican and hate bipartisanship. I don't mind what will likely be a corpse/copmala pyrrhic victory because I want people to shut the fuck up about politics and expect their to be at least 2 years of gridlock (probably 4 looking at the 2022 midterm map) where nothing happens and nothing changes (which selfishily benefits me and my current situation but fuck it--we are all ultimately utilitarian).

With that said the irregularities in the rust belt and all these sudden "lol whoops there were mass software errors" all over Michigan I am finding entertaining because even if the fraud is minimal it looks really bad for the present abominination that is the dems. I also have been brainwashed by Rich Evans into thinking the rust belt is a banana confederacy that deserves to be ridiculed.

 

[Oats12345]

Yeah like if Trump pulled this fraudulent shit then I would’ve been supporting Biden and the Dems to look into this stuff. This needs to be looked into no matter what.

However there are idiots on the left blindly believing Biden won and this is like a cartoon where the good guys defeat the evil tyrants while dumbasses on the right act like Trump is guaranteed to win if the fraud is gone.

We don’t know what’s going to happen and it’s best to wait and see while accepting that we can either have a President Biden or President Trump. No matter what though the LARPing of another Civil War or Day of the Rope is never going to happen

Honsely i have a feeling Biden only won do to Fraud. But who knows if the recount shows legitamency i guess he won fair.

 

[Pointless Pedant]

I'm not a republican myself, I'd label myself centrist leaning left because of the area and how I grew up. But just like pointing out the dumb shit the republicans do, I'll absolutely point out the stupid shit the democrats do.

When you have pathetic soyboys like Quinton Reviews that exist in this universe who are just some of the most pathetic people on our planet, you just learn to hate both parties even if your group appeals morally to you.

Would rather just have a better system for both parties with good representatives so they can adopt ideals from both so we get closer to where everyone wins.

I do consider myself a national conservative, but I agree that right leaning cows should be mocked too. I know if a load of ballots had suddenly turned up for Trump after election day and won a landslide for him I'd have been heading over to the TES thread to laugh with the liberals.

New Jersey, of all places, did set precedent for it as a remedy for electoral fraud. It isn't off the table, though I suspect the SC will prefer to see if a less serious remedy would be possible. Assuming, of course, they side with Trump. Which is not a guarantee.

yeah, and they'll probably kvetch about the costs (after lockdowns drained their coffers) and timeframe because they can't/don't want to wait for all the mail ballots be redone, and those are necessary because deadly corona of course.
it's gonna be interesting to see if people high enough are smart enough to understand that the reputation loss both nationally and internationally is far greater long term than whatever a straightforward direct re-vote may cost. but this is 2020, so...

inb4 "who cares, MSM will narrative will fix it" - politicians are not the average population. you can bet your ass politicians are very aware what's going on, even when the news don't report on it. and as someone else pointed out (can't remember who, sorry, this thread simply moves too fucking fast), it's a completely different scenario fighting abdullah with a grudge and abdullah with righteous anger the usa wants to spread their literal corruption.

Not trying to doompost or anything faggy like that, just wondering what's ahead....

slow painful demise. while this sounds like a doompost, let me explain
most people don't fly off the handle and grab a gun, most either have too much too lose, are not as short sighted or simply not as choleric. instead they'll stop trusting the system, and it doesn't even have to be a conscious effort. people will cheat on their taxes (more than usual), because why support a country that in their mind doesn't value that contribution? little acts of subversion because they stop giving a shit or outright want to sabotage as much as they can in their little sphere of influence. just ask yourself, what are you gonna do if you stop trusting someone, and maybe even filled with powerless rage?

over time, this adds up and gets worse. in exchange, said government will try to "fix" it the only way they think they can: more laws, more regulation, more taxes, which will predominantly affect the lower and middle classes directly or indirectly, accelerating this downward spiral.

there are ways to stem that, just look at florida. they turned it around from being an outright meme to now being a example to uphold how to handle it. but most people are either to ignorant, stupid or both.

So much for those "rumors" Trump was going to concede today at least : https://www.newsmax.com/politics/trump-fight-transparency-election/2020/11/06/id/995805/

Noting in that article implied he was going to concede

Nope, if the Electoral College results are in dispute it can be brought before the Supreme Court after it goes up the appeals and circuit courts. If it's an undisputed dead heat, it goes to the House. If it dead heats there, then it goes to the Senate. The media ought to have no function in the elections beyond reporting and a fair advertisement platform. The outright bias and electioneering they've displayed recently has shown exactly why they should be treated like dirt and why they are ultimately not responsible for anything beyond reporting.

KF is not right leaning in any sense.

From reading here, these are some of the beliefs that at least the average Farmer may have:

• Intense dislike for government overreach
• Intense dislike of any censorship
• Isolationist tendencies, not getting involved in foreign wars or elections
• Fine with stuff like gay marriage, doesn’t like troons or people that troon their kids out
• Dislikes identity politics
• At least a few on here would be fine with legalizing marijuana, but have it be regulated
• Likes guns, as seen in the gun sperging thread
• Dislikes glowies and government agents that try to plant things to get people riled up
• Dislikes BLM and AntiFa entirely (both non progressive Democrats and Republicans loathe those groups)
  
  Most of these stances aren’t inherently right wing or conservative, in fact, quite a few of these beliefs are more populist. Trump is a populist, which is why you have a crossover of Republicans and Democrats coming together because they want a populist more than anything else

I have seen a few super hard right wingers who praise fascism and deny the Holocaust, especially in Articles and News section, but they're the minority and probably come from /pol/. There used to be a lot more of them around the time of Christchurch.

I'm a former conservative turned centrist after attending one of the most hardcore lefty universities in Europe. There I learned that it's ok to have a different opinion than mine, which is pretty much THE purpose of higher education. Even there, the stuff I read from American published academia was pretty much ridiculed and laughed at by fellow students and professors. American academia being completely estranged from reality, even a European lefty reality, was my first redpill.

What's going on in America scares me to death, I'm not exaggerating. The gaslighting, the bending of reality, the complete lack of integrity of the press, the way big corporations are taking control of not just our wallets but our lives and votes...this has nothing to do with being conservative of liberal.
Now add all media and entertainment turning into either trash or ham fisted indoctrination. I can't stand American entertainment anymore. Tv series, movies, cartoons are all trash written by liberals trying to rewrite history or imagine how people they never really interacted with think. I am seriously beginning to hate everything America represents, and I hate myself for reaching this point. I want the old America back.

I have a much more "negative" view than you, but I'll keep it to myself, as I have voiced it before, and perhaps may be mistaken.
