2024 US Presidential Election (Taylor's Version)

Grunching but again. This is a spectrum.

It’s not elections vs no elections. I mean. They have elections in Venezuela and Sudan

It’s about how flawed those elections are.

I would also add that the US is VERY far down the flawed election route. You have multiple areas where one party rewrites rules to ensure it wins, and you’ve had multiple elections where the obvious cheating has decided the national outcome.

So no, Trump is not going to mean no elections. He’s going to take you folks from very flawed elections to very very flawed.

Or rather than say these ideas lead to the rise of nazis in Germany in the 30s, say they lead to the fall of Germany in the 40s. They didn’t work then and the only thing they’ll work for now is embarrassing us in front of the world when they fail again.

thomas friedman has been wrong 99.9% of the time in his columns and has zero regrets, I think we’ll be OK

who the fuck asked this shitbag anyway?

In addition to all this in 2 out of the last 6 elections the person that received the most votes didn’t win.

That’s not necessarily flawed. There are other elections in other countries were the vote counts doesn’t reflect seats.

It’s the gerrymandering in particular and the deliberate voter suppression which really stands out as very far down the path.

In the last hundred or so years, the only US Presidential election arguably decided by cheating was won by the Democrats.

which election was that?

Kennedy-Nixon

I guess on some technical definition of the word cheat you could argue that 2000 wasn’t actually cheated but that feels like a distinction without a difference
