I’m not saying that it’s likely or that it would have any effects.

    It is a universal axiom that any question starting with “Will Trump ever face consequences for…” can be answered with “no”.

    If, instead of prison, Trump was faced with a free luxury mansion on a private island and a $1B/yr pension to live out the rest of his years Epstein style, Kamala may have had a chance. As soon as the alternative included a hint of repercussions for his actions, the universe simply could not allow it.

      Doesn’t matter anyway, the spineless bitch conceded faster than John Kerry did.

            “A fundamental principle of American democracy is that when we lose an election, we accept the results. That principle, as much as any other, distinguishes democracy from monarchy or tyranny. And anyone who seeks the public trust must honor it.”

            Please watch her speech.

              No. Fuck her. We put all our hope in to her and she utterly failed us all, even the cultists whether they’re smart enough to know it or not. At this point I wouldn’t piss on her if she were on fire.

              I was upset when Kerry conceded, this is a whole other level. People are going to die that wouldn’t have otherwise and her cowardice at calling out the bullshit tactics the extremists said flat out they’d use to secure power places that at her feet. She didn’t even fucking try. Basis were burned, found in a fucking sewer. That isn’t democracy.

              If you can’t see that you need to pay more attention.

                  You really think that’s the cause when ballots were found stuffed in to a storm drain? Really?

                    Seriously; why is no one bringing this up? I saw the largest lines I’ve ever seen at a polling location; WAY more than 2020, yet nobody voted? Give me a fucking break. The Republicans have a history of doing exactly what they accused the other side of doing. It’s fishy as hell.

                    Furthermore, how the hell were we able to get the results the same night of election day? For as long as I can remember, it would take at least a week minimum before we had any clue who won. Yet somehow they were able to process ballots much faster this time? Give me a fucking break.

                    Edit: Also, does no one else find it odd that progressive ballot measures overwhelmingly won in several states that turned red?

                No, just a monarchy. As much as it pains me to say it, it’s actually not “tyrannic” because the electorate legitimately voted for it.

                I almost wish Trump had actually lost and then stolen power. At least that would’ve made some sort of sense!

            Preach. Fuck Kamela. She’s just as responsible for the death of democracy as everyone who voted Trump, voted 3rd Party, or didn’t vote at all. She’s willing to just throw in the towel and let the country (and millions of Americans living in it) die. So fuck her.

        I really don’t like her but what the fuck did you want exactly? A coup?

        Please, she’s not that cool.

          I want elections where the far right doesn’t get to say “we won” after detailing dozens of illegal things they’d do to secure the election while everyone else who is supposed to be in charge is just like “oh OK”. It’s not an unreasonable ask.

        Just came to say you’re a coward and an idiot. If you want change, run for elections or lead a direct action movement instead of insulting people actually trying. What bad logic are using to insult the person who ran and lost instead of the person who won and who is threatening to make everyone’s lives worse? again coward and an idiot
