    We live in a world that if you call someone an idiot or violate some other arbitrary rule you get banned, but if you spread dangerous lies you usually are fine and rarely see a consequence

      Yeah. Shit like this has driven me to the conclusion that the logical end state of civility politics invariably tends towards fascism.

    Given how many people wanted to leave Facebook when their mums joined it, we can only hope that Elon starts to feel the same.

    Should have let her run her little scam so she could go to jail like the other Karen’s.

    I didn’t realize Musk bought citizenship for his apartheid mother. And she’s here quoting sovcit qnut conspiracy garbage at us like it’s a real thing. Fuck the Musk family until the end of time.

      Please keep your hate towards other family members to yourself. There is no generational guilt. With at least one of his children we already know it is not a fucked up asshole.

    That wouldn’t even fucking work, lol. You need, at minimum, a proof of address, and even if you spoofed 10 different names and addresses that each corresponded to 10 specific precincts, you’re going to be given a provisional ballot, in which case your vote doesn’t even get counted until it has been independently researched and verified by county workers, which if it succeeds, won’t get counted till a week later.

    God. I fucking hate that these idiots have a non-zero chance of winning.

      Yes. And that they have to ‘win’. And that the consequences for other people ‘don’t matter’.

      That’s the result of being rich and not knowing what consequences are.

      Imaging touching a hot plate and not burning yourself. What incentive would there be to not touch that plate?

      When you have enough money and power to avoid experiencing the vast majority of consequences of your actions, then life does become a game for the vast majority of the time.

      The reluctance of governments to take action against the rich and powerful just feeds their delusions further.

      Well if it wasn’t there would be consequences for this shit. As far as their concerned it’s all just theater until there’s a judge involved. And let’s be honest here. They’re basically right at this point.

    Republicans don’t make up the bullshit about election fraud, they read their own playbook and only change the names. Such is the criminal weirdo party.

    maybe thats where he has that lie-and fraud-habit from ;-) but i believe that this post is not more than just some more election campain lies 🤷 just look at the “the democrats” part. if voter fraud would be that easy, voting should be delayed until fixed. following that argumentation there already is no democracy but only feudalism in the us (or isn’t it already?) and all the voting stuff is just theater to calm the masses while beeing abused like cattle. and if its not that easy, this seems to be yet-another-musk-lie in a row of how many?

    but… even if it wasn’t that easy to fake votes, is it democracy then only because of the votes are done and counted correctly? what about the candidates and where they come from, who or what decides which candidates can be voted? who or whatever does or impacts this filtering is an attack vector where democracy can be directly attacked. and limiting the candidates to who one could manipulate or who shares the same fraud wishes from the beginning is a very powerful attack vector.

    now what do you think who would want to attack democracy in the first place? or how would that be done while leaving the vote-counting system intact? and who would maybe want to point to nonexisting voting problems just to distract from much bigger fraud? that is if those voting problems do not exist of course.

    so many questions, so many lies and nobody seems voteable? what a coincidence!

      We’re like a hairs breadth away from corpo feudalism. The rise of unions feels like a good sign but it’s gonna take some work.

        i think this is rather a permanent and created perception of beeing “at the edge” as it assumes not to be there yet while it allows feudalists to do all their crap, parts of it even publicly. at least our parent generation had the same perception of beeing at that same edge while things have worsened a lot in the decades of the feudalists fouling further. that is IMHO ;-)
