This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Irregularities != illegitimacy. Independent polling support that Trump had around half of the popular vote. One percent either direction may have changed the outcome but it doesn't change the legitimacy of the office, either way it was a very close race that either Harris or Trump could have legitimately won.

Therefore it is an absolute braindead take to say that Americans didn't choose this. They did. That's not incompatible with the theory that Trump cheated. But the American people doesn't get to eschew their responsibility in this. Fuck this "no-one admits they voted for Hitler" bullshit.
