      On 3 November 2026 there will be an opportunity to end the republican majority in the senate, ending their ability to pass any bill they please

        Lmao you saw what they got done in a hundred days, you really think there will be enough rule of law for voting to matter in 2026 if we don’t do something sooner?

        There is also about 450 days of protesting, striking, organizing, boycotting…

        Waiting for the next election is not going to fix things, just like it didnt before.

        Will there, though? A group of people who actively ignore court orders and the constitution (when it suits them) are really, really unlikely to relinquish power.

      The country literally voted for insanity and derangement rather than the status quo. Like, I don’t even know what to do.

        I bet we find out they cheated by fucking with voting machines in swing states someday. They sure do like to make little quips about it that they think only MAGA will understand.

          This kind of election interference speculation erodes trust in democracy and is part of what led to the January 6th thing. Not saying that’s what you’re trying to do, just that it’s a precursor to that kind of stuff.

            This isn’t speculation, speculation is when you have no evidence, there was evidence several elections already just nobody refuses to investigation, only the cons ever speculated

              That’s literally the rhetoric that the Republican party used about the 2020 election that ended with the January 6th riot. Do you honestly think that if there was evidence of voting interference that the democrats wouldn’t go to court over it? Or even share the evidence?

          Aside from nebulous groups who made up some bad statistics, likely to grift some donations, i didn’t see any claims towards that.

      With the current crop of oval office occupants…???

      Most assuredly not.

      Don’t be silly. 🤷‍♂️
