All purpose news and politics thread part VI: This Is Not The Time For Posing

[JCAll]

Ugh, if the Democrats had any wits about them they'd totally be running psyops in red areas imploring voters to boycott the rigged election.

Funny though it is to think about, that sort of kindergarten reverse psychology stuff doesn't actually work.
Sort of like how we couldn't actually convince anti-vaxxers to get the vaccine by calling them Trump Shots, despite jokes like that always going around.

Well, there's your fraud @Xheight. Anyone involved in the big lie should be held responsible for misleading the republican party.

LOL - AZ McCain country where republicans on the election board came out said they did not vote for Trump. I am looking fwd to seeing how they sifted out Mail-ins from In-persons, so far I have only seen data on early-voting sites. Willing to say he could have lost the county regardless but WHY is it so hard to get this done? As we have seen before this though a legal vote isn't not the same as a lawful one. AZ was one of the early suits to "challenging a state law that requires those who vote by mail to correct missing signatures by election day. On September 10, U.S. District Judge Douglas Rayes ruled for the Arizona Democratic Party. On October 6, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit overruled Rayes, finding that the election day deadline to correct a missing signature imposes a minimal burden on voters."

This would be a textbook case of embracing conservative ideology so much it causes someone to reject reality completely.

So funny.

Wait. Hold on. Stop the music. A legal vote is not the same as a lawful one? What in the hell does that even mean?

So funny.

I love a good accidental double negative.

It means 'truth isn't truth'.

Fraud is defined as when a Democrat wins a previously Republican area.

Arizona Republican demands a new audit after the Cyber Ninjas audit crashed and burned

The self owns continue!

Their super controlled audit resulted in giving Biden a bigger win. That is fucking hilarious. WTG team.

Honestly, I still don't trust that they were competent enough to do a "more accurate" recounting, but it's hilarious that it produced a net negative. The original count might very well be the more accurate one, given the competence and experience of who performed it.

The fact that Greg Abbott has Texas chomping at the bit to do a "fraudit" in the wake of this news... okay, one, learn from the Arizona GOP's mistake, don't repeat it. Two... WTF would he even want to prove? Trump won that state. There's not even a race worth overturning that they'd be trying to prove.

FTFY.

Xheight's utter incoherence is a good example as to where the conservative movement has landed, tbh. All that's left is shitposting and 'owning the libs'.

That Abbot will loyally supply Trump with the buzz words he wants for his circus, even if it means completely wasting time and money.

It’s all performance politics through a reality TV spin. All of it.

Give Trump’s team someone saying a word he wants, and his people will “edit” it harder than Rian Johnson and Lucasfilm looking at any attempt to give John Boyega worthwhile stuff to do in a Star Wars movie; things will be abbreviated to the point of irrelevance in substance, meanings and truths will be retconned into utter nonsense, and a self-perpetuating narrative will be installed that flies in the face of reality, but has too many adherents embracing denial to face the truth.

I legit laughed out loud at this because it’s so true.

[Malvolio]

This right here. I have said the Dems need to change their play book when dealing with the GOP. They spend so much time raking the high road the GOP runs them over in the public relations click bait sound bite era.

And its not like the Dems would be doing dirty. Just pointing out if the GOP cult thinks the election is rigged and their votes dont matter why cast the votes. They can even use Trumps own sound bites in ads. Let it come back and bite the GOP in the ass.

The DNC should get together with The Lincoln Project. They love doing stuff like this.
