  • It’s wildly worse than you think. The number of bullet ballots in swing states is around 5-12% of the total vote counts. It’s a statistical anomaly that ONLY exists in the swing states. Other things to consider:

    • There were bomb threats in only swing states.
    • There were a number of counting stations that are reporting issues with their tabulation software, again, significantly happening in swing states.
    • Polls performed prior to election accurately predicted of pretty much every downballot race, but for some reason are wildly inaccurate for predictong the President in only swing states?

    There’s odd, and then there’s statistical improbability. We’re boarding on fucking bizarre, and it’s shocking that people aren’t making a bigger deal than this.







  • … there’s an argument to be made that…maybe they didn’t vote that way.

    There’s some serious irregularities in the way votes are appearing in key battleground states. The number of bullet votes is insanely off (historically 0.1%, but somehow 7% in BG states), a historical amount of people voting blue down ballot but then voted Trump, the number of bomb threats called into ballot counting areas in BG states, and how all of the irregularities are only being found in BG states.

    It makes you step back and say… something weird is going on here.








  • …because taxing the rich, adding affordable daycare/child tax credits, a propose ban on price gouging, and other middle class incentives were abandoning the left…totes. The narrative that’s being pushed here is pretty bullshit. Her platform was on point for the middle class and below.

    Sure. She campaigned in battleground states, more than any where else…but that was strategic. And it makes sense at the time.

    Everyone just keeps saying “she abandoned the left” without adding literally any examples of it.

    The DNC fucked up by not holding primaries, but Harris ran a pretty damn good game.




  • I don’t believe that it is. I believe that the problem lies in the fact that we’re not communicating effectively with the voting base. Her policies we’re not bad and effectively DID target the working class, for example child care and expanding taxes on the upper class. Her economic policies were strong and we would have seen benefits. However, none of this matters if this information isn’t getting to the voter base.

    Conservatives are actively targeting Gen Z and nonpoliticals with absolutely bullshit lies - for example, staying that liberals are actually racist, that DEI is making things worse for people, and that our whole policy is based on insults and hatred. Of course, to anyone paying any attention, this is blatantly false…but to an outside viewer, whose struggling to make ends meet, who’s single and insular, whose constantly told that women have it rough (and nothing about how to deal with men’s problems) they find the conservative arguments start to gain roots.

    We want to win next time? We need to talk to people. Tell them what being a man really means. That empathy, not control, is what a society like the US should be based on.
