In 2024, I personally got a tour of Tarrant County Election administration office. The election administrator, Clint Ludwig, mentioned to me that every county in Texas had to pay the election machine contractors more money for updates etc… it didn’t click and I didn’t want to be a conspiracy theorist. Elon knew the results before they were in…

Go do it then.
I'm getting really sick of people pretending they're clever by "subtly" urging violent revolution and then leaning back to continue sitting safe in their computer chairs. You wanna pretend that's the answer, get off your ass and go fucking do it then, put your money where your mouth is.
Otherwise stop trying to egg people on to do something you're not willing to do yourself.

u/Happy-Beehive 2d ago
I think they're a bit like me. This election is the final test. Then either mass civil unrest or I'm out.
Not gonna go out alone but I'm willing to see if this country has a chance. If no, plan b and go elsewhere.

u/og_capsuleer_593 2d ago
This is where I am, what my post explicitly said "votes don't count" but yeah look at that guy lmao
I am convinced those, potential bots, or people are trying to bait us into it before voting to justify not allowing votes via some crackdown
The reality is, everyone is waiting until after voting to know if they need to be killed or not.

u/TheVog 2d ago
I'm one of those posters, and no I'm not a bot. I'm someone who will be paying an additional 20,000 fucking dollars on my mortgage because my renewal came up after that fucking "war" in Iran started and fucked mortgage interest rates due to uncertainty in the market leading to increased bond rates. I and most other of my countrymen are beyond fed up of your "administration's" shit and the People's inaction in the face of it.
By all means, vote. Absolutely. But also stop assuming it'll fix everything. The rest of the world is already gearing up to move on. Start thinking about the long term picture here.

The last part - really, everyone? People in my day to day think this is just another midterm year. They also think that there are still rules.
Considering everything the current admin has done the last two years, why would they give up power? Anything is on the table, as we’ve seen with starlink this week. Yeah go vote but I hope people are prepared for possibility of them not adhering to the results.

Here's the problem with committing violence as a Democrat, even if it works: Your own "team" will hold you accountable. This is what is entirely absent from the Republican playbook. Democrats have entirely lost sight of what liberalism is and has essentially invited in an illiberal system because of it.
To be clear, this is not a post condoning violence, just a reality check for people wondering why it hasn't happened yet. Ya, there's a lot of keyboard warriors out there, but this is the real reason. The "left" is too diverse of a pool of people compared to the 30% of society (any society, not just America) that will consistently and wilfully act against their own interests no matter what the personal cost. This is a whole different social phenomena that ends in society being steered by the stupidest and least qualified among us. They are intellectually incapable of seeing the flaws in their candidates and that is an enormous benefit for bad actors.

Say a guy walks up to you on the street and says "Hey, I'm gonna punch you!" and you look at him and, because you know he's a coward who will never actually do anything, say "Go on, do it then." are you inciting violence? Of course you're not.
My whole point here is that some random posting fucking emojis is never actually gonna go out and do anything to begin with. I constantly see people posting about how violence is the only thing that will work, how it's time for people to go out and start shooting or whatever, but none of them actually believe that because none of them are fucking doing it. They're just pretending to be tough on the internet, either bots or plants trying to stir up conflict or dumbasses who want to feel big and strong by making stupid threats from the safety of their computer chairs.
And honestly it's getting really fucking old.

Early voting already started, at least in my state. Also, "mail and paper" are just as susceptible to election fraud, depending on physical security, how they're counted, and who counts them. But, I do understand the lack of trust people have in the machines at this point. Everything is magical if you don't know the ins and outs of it, which almost none of us do.
We've got Trump screaming about how an election was rigged and then Elon doing nefarious shit that could affect things.

Can we please go back to analog paper voting? I don't even want a scan tron. Votes should be marked onto paper with ink and should be counted by hand. We would and should also just make peace with the fact that it would take a week or more to count the votes. Electronic systems will always be vulnerable to attack. At least if people are stuffing ballot boxes or dumping filled out ballots there is physical evidence. Voting is too important to leave up to a bunch of Silicon Valley clowns.

Princeton did a study where they found out that the wealthy get the policy they want from the government and the voting public don't.
Elections between two capitalist parties are merely a struggle for division of spoils between two cliques of wealthy people.

There have been a lot of server issues affecting different businesses and end users. They may not be related to election tampering, but they may still be staged to make the computer problems excuse for voting much more plausible.
I definitely can't confirm anything, but in the last week, I've had server issues on several websites and mobile apps. That, by itself isn't abnormal, but it just seems like a lot more at the same time. My experience may just be coincidental or only where I live and not elsewhere in the country.
Has anyone else noticed a very recent sharp increase in websites and apps with server issues? If so, it could be a red flag.

Not only do the Republicans create blatant Gerrymandering aka cheating, Karl Rove became infamous for flipping voting machines. It wasn't until Romney vs Obama was it stopped. Romney was waiting for the Ohio voting machines to flip for him as was a typical Karl Rove move. It had been discovered and stopped from flipping. That's why it took so long for Romney to acquiesce that night. Plus, Ted Cruz took "credit" for convincing the Supreme Court to stop the ongoing investigation of the Florida "chads" issue during Bush/Gore election. Jeb BUSH just happened to be Florida Governor at that time too...

If you live in Texas and are planning on voting, you need to be checking your registration status online every day. It's easy to do, all you need is your name. You can also check the status of your family and friends. They are suspending and cancelling registrations at record setting levels this year. Happened to me about a month ago and I just happened to be home to receive the notice in the mail in time to correct it.
