yea, i'm pretty sure that whole "vote them out" ship sailed a long time ago. not only have fascists infiltrated and wrecked pretty much every board of elections that had any hint of purple, but way too many millions of people are cheering and celebrating their new fascist authoritarian police state

As I said before in another thread. Voting is over. If these monster's worried about elections they wouldn't have supported this bill.

I truly believe now that all electronic voting machines are rigged. Only way we every have free and democratic elections is if we have paper back ups and rank choice voting. I now believe that Mitch McConnell and Lindsay Graham rigged their own elections. And hopefully we are going find out in a lawsuit that Elon Musk rigged the machines to help Trump win.

So Sanders unfortunately it's over there only way to turn us around and it isn't voting.

Here ya go. After seeing these reports, I had no doubts. They openly said it before the election. "Elon's the best he knows everything about those machines, he'll get us our win."

"If Trump doesn't win, I'm fucked." -Elon Musk.

First and last links are the data. The middle links are for us stupid people that need to be told how to read the data in the last link

Those are some very big accusations, can I ask what evidence has made you believe this?

[–] karashta@piefed.social 11 points 13 hours ago

Not OP but here you go.

I'd check out their YouTube. Some pretty damning evidence of tampering when he looks at the statistics.

Google "drop off votes". Also Russia hacked the last 2 elections for recon and Elon, his kid and Trump all hinted at it.

The only way out of this for the US is if they all get the Luigi special or at least enough of them so the others shit themselves when they go outsides

Sure Taco tuesday want a civil war but the choixe here is waiting for it to happen to you or to start it and maybe taking them by surprise a little because it's going to happen no matter what

resistance doesn't have to mean direct confrontation. sugar in gas tanks, slashed tires, acts of vandalism--pretty much anything that disrupts or slows them down counts.

illegal? maybe. but no more so than what they're doing to us.

edit: BTW, fascists will instantly label any of these minor acts of defiance as "terrorism"-- don't ever let them plant that seed of propaganda. "terrorism" is acts against the people. "resistance" is acts against tyranny.

I’ve still yet to see any targets for even that type of resistance in my community. Feel so worthless not being able to take action.

[–] HeadfullofSoup@kbin.earth 3 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

For now sure but the way i see it soon they will go full speed with it and death will be the sentence for most ( they still need slave for the farm and such but Judge dredd style but with ICE for the others ) for anybody they don't like

[–] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 3 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

tbh i'll be surprised if any kind of movement actually takes off. i think we're just fucked, and it's only a matter of time

[–] HeadfullofSoup@kbin.earth 3 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Same, i know people are fearful abouth doing something but fear won't stop Palanthir AI sending a death squad taking care of them because they found a tweet saying fuck trump in 2016

[–] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 2 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

yep. they're already vanishing immigrants and citizens. the fear will only increase when people start disappearing only because they're opposed to fascism

[–] HeadfullofSoup@kbin.earth 2 points 14 hours ago

It's nothing for now but when all the process ( except the killing or maybe drone ? ) will be made automatic by AI with no supervision on who they flag it's going to be too late to start the fight people need to be ready way before that

Sanders is old enough to remember previous fascist regimes, so I'm surprised he still seems to believe what he's saying.

[–] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 4 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (1 children)

if hope is the only thing i have left ~~when~~ if i reach that age, then that's what i'll have. wish i had some of that right now

[–] ReallyAngryNerd@europe.pub 4 points 14 hours ago

Don't get me wrong, Sanders is one of the few sane politicians left in the US, but democrats need to start thinking outside of the box. Relying on the next election for change just seems a little naive.
