MODERATORS
Reminder to everyone that you, YES YOU, can claim the 2024 election was stolen to your maga peers using the same rhetoric they used in 2020.
I heard there was bamboo fiber in the ballots
The voting machines were hacked
Took too long to count to NOT be fraud
Boom, now they understand exactly how they sounded the last 4 years. They hate it, and I've made at least 3 people throw tantrums midday.
Oh and it was way closer this time so a lot less fraud is needed for it to work, which gives us an actually higher chance of being right than they were
On top of the fact that every accusation is an admission with those ass hats, though that won't CONVINCE them of course
you see, Oceania was always at war with East Asia
There are five lights!
it's not about winning lawsuits, it's about proliferating the notion that any news that doesn't come directly from his own face anus is sus and "fake news." he's been doing it since long before the first election, and he's not going to stop, ever. in fact, he's going to ramp it up to where there are actual legal/financial consequences for printing anything that doesn't shower him with fawning obsequious praise.
many journalists see the writing on the wall. they obey in advance to save their own ass
Trump is a fucking baby! He can't even win without bitching about it.
but provides no evidence of wrongdoing
So surely it will be rejected and nobody being sued will even need to show up since nobody even has any evidence?
Surely....
Only Trump is allowed to say and do whatever the hell he wants with impunity.
trump is a weak, pathetic idiot. I hope he sues me too.
What a childish sore winner. Contrary to popular belief polls don't predict results, they represent a fleeting moment in time. Now fuck off, you won.
Trump is mad the poll made him worry he might not be elected like Putin promises.
The DmR is such a weird target. It may be in a blue city but it panders to the red state. It spends most of its time sucking off the far right policies of iowa politicians and normalizing the tiny dicked, serial sex pest's insane behavior.
He's only choosing the DmR because Selzer is one of the most famous pollsters with one of the most accurate track records in the history of political prediction- and very widely regarded as such. He needs to make an example out of any resistance there might be to his upcoming reign, as well as use this as proof that the previous election was "manipulated" as justification for future election """reforms""".
