Just a reminder, it’s not Republicans vs. Democrats. It’s the People vs. the Government. Very few office holders are for the people. They are the ones most attacked:

I think we'd like to hear from the naked
17 yr. Old exactly what happened.

Gaetz has you fooled he actually gives an f about you. He wants what everyone in government wants, power.

He fucked a 17 year old. Even if it was consensual, to just brush that off as no big deal is really effed up

Did it ever occur to you that taking weeks to count a fraction of the ballots is bullshit? Definitely not.

I’ll mark you down as supporting election fraud.

Did it ever occur to you that you should think before commenting? In 2022 1/4 of Penn ballots were mail-in.
This year it could be 20%. That's not "a fraction."
And you evade the obvious...why do the Republicans there block the processing of them before election day?

Guess I'll mark you down as supporting made up stuff.

This proves nothing re: voter fraud, but thanks for the parroted talking point.

Paul do you agree that verifying the integrity of elections and imposing the harshest penalty of the law against offenders is critical to preserve democracy?

What are you even saying? Do you know how flippant that is?

They spouted garbage about that company being involved in rampant fraud in the millions of votes, it was all correct, they could prove it was correct, then went ahead and wrote a check a few ticks south of 800 MILLION FREAKING dollars.

That is literally what you believe.

Bernie Sanders announces he's going to work with Trump to cap credit card interest rates at 10%. A really terrible idea, which shouldn't be a surprise given that Bernie Sanders is involved.

I actually like the idea. There should absolutely be interest caps on debt. Please tell me the argument that there should not be rate caps on debt. My own state passed a rate cat on pay day loan scams through a ballet proposition that I happily voted for. We went through the process of listening to both side and the no cap side sounded awful.

[GoMuskies]

Most states have usury laws. 10% isn't close to the right number for that. A large swath of the population will lose access to credit with a 10% rate cap.

[Masterofreality]

Yeah those aren't going to be the final numbers.. Kamala is probably going to end up around 74 million and Trump 77-78. I'll let you figure out that again you know very little about anything.

It's not hard to figure out...Moderates went to Trump this time as the lesser of two evils, just like they went to Biden in 2020. It's not rocket science.

Ok Smart Ass. Even using your numbers above, there are still 5 million unaccounted for voters from 2020 in 2024.
With 99% of the vote counted. Harris has received fully 7,500,000 votes less than Biden- 73,700 mil to 81,200 mil. Trump has received 2,000,000 more than 2020.
With an “Existential Election” to save Democracy, in a clear panic mode, where did those missing 5,000,000 votes go? 2,000,000 more Moderates went to Trump, obviously. But….
It’s like those other 5,000,000 voters in 2020 never existed.
I rest my case.

[paulxu]

Well, it must have somehow been 5,000,000 undocumented immigrants were allowed to vote the last time.

(Do I need to activate the sarcasm font?)

Edit: my bad. I see the 81 m refers to Biden's 2020 number.

Not true Paul, it’s 1/5…;)
