  • This trust the process stuff is just copium. The fact george bush wasn’t prosecuted for WMDs and Reagan wasn’t prosecuted for Iran Contra are the original sins here. Unless Bush gets prosecuted we can’t even begin to fix the problems trump created because they are all downstream.

    You’re trying to dam a river at the delta where it meets the sea. Threaten to prosecute bush though and you pave the path for prosecuting trump and fox news and all these billionaire media owners.










  • Yeah there were a lot of bot/troll accounts saying that stuff. The fact it disappeared after the election proves the point: nobody actually believes that. If somebody dresses up as a sasquatch and runs through the woods it doesn’t mean sasquatches are real even though it may be followed by credible accounts and videos of a sasquatch running through the woods.

    Elections are when there’s a heavy financial incentive for some folks to make bad faith arguments to everyone they can.


  • I don’t think I’ve actually seen that in the wild. Usually what I see is either “voting is insufficient” as in, “historically voting has not ended a dictator’s career” or just badly disguised bad faith/bot stuff often from accounts banned before I read their comments.

    I feel like “voting is wrong” is what a group of the latter (bot farmers/trolls) want folks to believe is a real opinion here but I haven’t seen anyone make that argument in good faith. I’ve only ever seen it made secondhand in a way that makes it about as credible as a sasquatch sighting (which there 100% are people dressing up as the sasquatch to fuck with people, so real sasquatch sightings =/= real sasquatches existing)
