    They are preparing an excuse for why they are going to be massacred in the midterms, aren't they? The blueanon line is going to be that the elections were illegitimate isn't it?

      I mean they’re not wrong. How can you have a legitimate election in an illegitimate system? No matter what happens the loser will always have valid grievances. At this point the cat is out of the bag. Not sure what a future where the losing party casts doubt on the legitimacy of every election looks like but it can’t be good.

        Of course US elections are illegitimate and fraudulent. They are so by design. But the reason the democrats will get their asses kicked is something else. The reason is that they suck and do absolutely nothing to help the masses.

      I was thinking this was for 2024 too, as they prepare the stage to endlessly yapper about how "oh noes illegitimate" the next trump term will be without moving a single fucking finger to do anything about the rotten useless institutions that will lead him to power again.

      If "Proportionate representation" and "one person one vote" mean anything then yeah, the American system is in no way legitimate.
