Your mistake is assuming that democrats (the politicians) want those things.
DoctorCoktopus
Yeah as far as um, congressional majority to do some real good things uh, are starting to head the wrong way :/ no cheating to win going on
ToonamiT0M
Democrats need to be voting on every election. The threat is not gone just because Trump is out of the White House.
Becker37
No we wouldn't. Stop thinking rich people are your friends and have your best intentions in mind. They are selfish and self-centered.
OldSchoolNewRules
You think the Democrats who are corrupt enough to rig elections actually want that?
Azawarau
I honestly doubt that . Progressives would bit Democrats ... Hard to say
crateo
Well, why didn't you get all those things the last time democrats had all three branches?
GiNgErSnApBiTcH
more like “if progressive democrats “..
Zega000
Mgxr44
Iiii don’t know about that. Don’t conflate what the voters want with what a lot of the elected officials actually want
Vrh101
It's not like politics is the only thing holding you back? Sure it's nice to blame things on "the others" whoever that may be from your pov
Biggless9
And the GOP is too stupid to even competently rig their elections....
stankginchfurbuger
Really? You really really think democrats would do these things if they were unobstructed? Oh man. Ooooh maaaan.
AlJAhmed
Democrats are a lot of different thing, and the only thing they have in common is their hate for repubs
butttrumpet
Are you sure Democratic politicians REALLY want those things?
welcometostarshollow
both parties have had control to pass their election promises and have not. They all receive money from drug and insurance
Onlypostcuteness
I doubt that. They are bought just as much as any other political puppet. We need a new party. Get rid of these old farts
kkanne20
No, because plenty of dems suck too. now if *bernie sanders* were rigging elections, THEN we'd have this shit by now.

Democrats are a rightist party my friend
or0b0ur0s
Rosy thought, but untrue. Democrats are still pro-business, pro-Wall St. conservatives, by and large. We need a new party, and neither of >
or0b0ur0s
the current ones, if we ever want anything remotely resembling competent, productive, ethical government.
sellingmysoulforupvotes
I find it hilarious that people think our government is capable enough to pull off any of their conspiracies.
Andied
Democrats as a whole are not a bunch of good guys. But they have the most good guys
ArkoneAxon
Yes, and they do everything possible to stop their good guys from doing anything good.
EllisHobbs
[Sarcasm alert] And how terrible each of those things would be! Truly! Especially the part about Fox News! What would we do without Tucker!
jediknightswhosayni
Remember when Tucker was on CNN and Jon Stewart came on his show and basically ended it. That was great.
EllisHobbs
Twas glorious!
PuddlesTheDuck
Politicians don't care about the issues on either side of the isle, they only care about staying in power.
phobosorbust
it's clear that many politicians are like that, but not all. The ones who give a shit are concentrated on one side of the aisle.
TheGhostofElizabethShue
"Mwahah, all is in motion, Donald Trump will be denied a second term thanks to our nefarious scheme!" "Shall we do the senate?" "Nah."
PiggyWobbles
Their assumption is that "our" cheating is being evened out by "their" cheating (like gerrymandering, voting restrictions, etc)
warmNchewey
I am the Senate!

It's treason then.

But you love democracy!
ILikedTheirOldStuffBetter
Not. Yet.

*Grumbling noises* "Unlimited POWER!"

If Democrats rigged elections they would STILL find ways to cave to republicans and wouldn’t get anything done. They water themselves down
MrSebi
The US doesn't have a left-wing party. It has a Right Wing Party, and an Extreme Right Wing Party.
CambreathdTheSecound
The same ppl. pays both sides of the isle in American politics, so this agents get done, and nothing else does.. #getMoneyOutOfPolitics....
Noughmad
They don't cave to Republicans. They cave to their "donors".
Ughffs
Which are mostly Republicans paying them to not do liberal things so. . ...
weathercow
True, but under the guise of caving to republicans for “bipartisanship”
defiedthestars
Yep there are new Manchins and Sinemas every few years to blame for Dems legislating like Reps. Joe Lieberman, Heidi Heitkamp, infinite loop
experiencemike
And Democrats are just as corrupt as anyone else. If yall think politicians really care you're in for a big surprise.
roofus38
There's a couple.....
defiedthestars
Who? Biden dropped every promise and opposes everything Bernie ran on yet fake progressives give him an A+. I was all Bernie but what now.
defiedthestars
It really seems they're a PR team shepherding all the reasonable people into a frozen and corporate-captured Republican-light party.
leodavinci1
The extreme wing of the Dems acts like obstinate spoiled children (threatening to take their toys and go home) when they 1
leodavinci1
don't get their way. They're just giving more influence to the likes of Manchin and Sinema. They need to take a long view. 2
defiedthestars
who's extreme in the DNC? even AOC and Bernie are just running PR for the corporate dems and giving Biden an A+ as he drops all promises.
defiedthestars
The 'extreme ones' give lipservice to initiating the most basic functions of most governments and then refuse to run the plays they ran on.
defiedthestars
A recent example would be AOC denouncing the #ForceTheVote strategy when she ran on exactly that.
defiedthestars
Hey sorry for the length of that adjacent comment chain, just wanted to see what you think. I didn't downvote you either btw.
defiedthestars
Yes. They throw their pretend fights for the people and legislate like Republicans yet the majority of imgur is still DNC apologists.
PlanckEraWasMyBestEra
I think a *lot* of us don't like the DNC but see them as significantly better than the GOP. Unlike reps we can admit there are big flaws in
ArkoneAxon
PlanckEraWasMyBestEra
the party we support, in the current president, and can speak out about ways we want things to be different.
defiedthestars
I'd like to think that but I see the truth getting downvoted hard and corporate talking points repeated just to dunk on Trump folks here.
tacoprincess
Also we are more than comfortable with directly criticizing members of the Democratic Party
defiedthestars
Wish that were true, but they're more likely to call people Russian trolls here if you mention the wars Obama started or Bidens lies.
MrKomisiripala
Y’all know how Repubes project all the time? W/ the pedos, homophobia, thieves & voter fraud? Well, rigging is another thing on their list
flamingflamingo
Yeah. Imagine how they went to all this effort to cheat and STILL lost. If I were them I'd assume the other side was cheating tool
Shoutrr
it's not really a projection per se. it's more like "it's something i do/i'd do so i assume everybody does it" crap
CanadianEngineer
… that’s essentially the definition of projection..
Shoutrr
in the projection there's the notion of shifting the attention toward someone else. There's a bunch of stuff they do project (pedophilia,
Shoutrr
homophobia...), but for the cheating and lying stuff, it's not projection because they think it's "normal"
MrKomisiripala
That’s… projection
CanadianEngineer
Projection is when you attribute your own undesirable feelings or your sins onto someone else.
Shoutrr
true. but for some reason i make a distinction between accusing others of something you're guilty off to shift attention,and accusing others

I just think it's really odd how nobody is saying the Virginia election last week was rigged ?♂️
defiedthestars
It was rigged by there being two corporate shills running.
blooocean
while in NJ, rightwing already screaming that the election was rigged becauuuuse you guessed it! Democrats won.
Zero3Quarter
“Us winning shows 2020 was rigged!” Was the argument they actually used. It’s insane
LurkingAtTheOffice
Yeah no, they are claiming fraud. It's a heads they win, tails is fraud situation. This sentimentality is dangerous to democracy.
jbryan08924
FB friend said this was more evidence that 2020 was stolen because VA clearly wanted a Repub. So it’s evidence of fraud if they win or lose.
SteveMND
Oh no, some of them ARE. Do not underestimate their stupidity. https://twitter.com/patriottakes/status/1457509257541144576
Circosys
Wow
filben7
Well it probably was rigged, rightwing states rig the fuck out of their elections. The new gov of VA son tried to illegally vote, twice!
SweatyNoah
At the very least I’m expecting VA to be gerrymandered to hell and back in favor of the GOP.
BURYMEINDVOTES
they’ll try their hardest not to have another Georgia in their hands, hell they’ll try to flip it back even though we’re fed up!
NlGHTW0LF
But if Republicans lost, what would they be saying?
MySpooNiz2biG
It was a nice comeback tho.
RedPandaFanAccount
We all know the answer to that one
Manorexia
They were saying it before ballots were even being counted but not a peep since winning
JaimePearson
Weren't they already preparing the excuse prior to the election, and it went away after the Republicans won
alcamar
Same thing they are saying in New Jersey?
cardinal29
Are they? I thought Murphy got in by a squeak
waeraj
Dem won Jersey by the same margin repub won Virginia. Only one is shouting about it.
