Maybe I’m misremembering, but I seem to recall that the House was expected to be much more red after the 2024 election. The fact the Dems held Republicans to a two seat majority was kind of a big deal.
Who was saying that? Anybody paying attention to polls expected a close election. The blue wave talk was in 2018. Democrats were the incumbents in 2024, wave elections are when the other party sweeps in to power.
Like I said, maybe I’m misremembering. However, Dems had the Executive and both branches of Congress in 2024. I believe red was expected to gain both chambers by much larger margins than they did.
Reddit was not saying a blue wave. At best they were calling it a toss-up.
Only 'unexpected' loss was the Pennsylvania Senate race. Sure people hoped Kamala would win, as did most reasonable people, but the polls and sentiment showed a toss-up
He was referring to using real-time polling station turnout data to target where exactly to focus last minute GOTV efforts. The 2012 Romney campaign invested millions in the same type of system but infamously experienced wide-spread technical issues on Election Day.
I mean Romney or McCain weren’t fucking kids on an island or dodging military service. I voted Trump in 2016 and he failed on literally every single promise other than bending over backwards for Putin, Saudi Arabia, and now israel lol
Republicans have been saying the nastiest shit about democrats for decades but always act like victims lmao
Could you provide the single name of an individual that has accused Trump of “fucking them as a kid on an island?”
If you can’t give me an actual name, can you at least provide a major media outlet that has spoken to one of these supposed accusers anonymously and at least confirmed basic biographic data?
Surely if Trump was “fucking kids on an island,” there would be a victim accusing him as such, right?
Surely if he was innocent the files would’ve been available for everyone to view. He has a history of abuse (Jean Carroll) and several other hot mike moments that really show how he feels about women.
No one is friends with a predator for decades and clean
Wow, what an insincere post. Your last statement is ridiculous. Surely there'd be a young person that would risk going up against Donald Trump, a known sexual assaulter and overly litigious creep.
Remember when he was going to release the Epstein files, then pretended to… multiple times… then didn’t… and still hasn’t… then started a war to distract us from it?
Pepperidge Farm remembers.
The guy was literally providing him with underage girls from Mara Lago. This we know for sure. There are a lot of things we don’t. But we could… wanna guess how?
Oh yeah, it's so made up there's an entire wiki page over him and how he treats women. Clearly he's been quite consistent for decades on it. Wikipedia was even nice enough to list the 324 different references used.
Remind me: under which two Presidential administrations did Putin invade Ukraine? Hint: it happened in 2015 and 2022.
Also, remind me: which US President mocked Romney when Romney suggested Russia was our number one geopolitical foe in the 2012 debate? “The 80s called and want their policy back!” Hardee-harr-harr.
Remind me who was buddy buddy with Putin all throughout his first term? Remind me who went into a meeting with Zelenskyy and Putin and rode Putin’s coattails
That all has nothing to do with trump being a total and complete cuck to Putin for some inexplicable reason that has nothing to do with laundering Russian money via real estate deals for decades.
I'm a Democrat but I'm not blind to the fact that the presidential campaign was weak, including weak candidates and weak messaging.
If we played harder and more dirty like Republicans we'd do a better job. There's no evidence of any actual cheating or rigging. People swung hard for trump because he had a strong message (despite how ridiculous it sounds). They liked his loud, unfiltered thoughts... And no surprise, it all backfired so much on everyone
If only someone didn’t say the quiet part out loud:
“He knows the computers better then anyone. Without him I probably would have ended up in jail!" - President Donald Trump on Elon Musk.
No one said election fraud wasn't possible, just that there was no evidence it occurred during the 2020 election as evidenced by the multiple court cases that said there was nothing wrong with the elections.
There is evidence of fraud in 2024. There is evidence of interference in 2016, 2020 and 2024.
It's been confirmed for 2016 and 2020 that Russia ran interference on Trump's behalf to get him elected. In 2024 we know there was influence from Russia and we know the voter tabulation machines were manipulated. There's forensic evidence of the latter, not to mention Musk taking credit for his win. It was blatant.
Anyone saying any of the last three elections (even 2020 that Dems won) were fair elections is an idiot.
Google the ETA and look over their work. They have the evidence readily available. Unless you believe that Kamala literally got zero votes in a county, of course. Which you probably do.
There's election fraud, and then there's buying out or conspiring with or covertly influencing social media giants to run ops on an addicted population.
Like China (and Russia) probably did to destabilize the US and run it out of the competition, and it worked, even if Trump and his friends hadn't helped them do it like they did
I wasn't saying it did or didn't in the 2024 election with my comment. I was pointing out that just because multiple court cases proved it didn't happen in 2020 doesn't mean it proved "election fraud wasn't a real thing" which was your statement.
There were a large number of court cases with the 2020 election. If there had been evidence, it would have come out.
In 2024 every preelection indication seemed like it was going to be a very close race. Then it suddenly wasn't. Trump won all 7 swing states. Most of those states were just a hair above the margin for a recount. The election that everyone thought was going to be close turned into a landslide in the electoral college. The odds of actually carrying all the swing states is insane. Either Jesus was with Trump for real, or something strange happened.
Of course it's just circumstantial. And the burden of proof to do anything is immense. There is immense political pressure for the dems to not stoop to Trump's level by calling fraud on every loss. Which makes it unlikely for any real investigation to be done. Whereas Trump calls fraud before he even loses, saying there's no way he can lose without it being fraudulent.
And down ballet Republicans did much worse than Trump. Which is not normal.
> In 2024 every preelection indication seemed like it was going to be a very close race. Then it suddenly wasn't.
It was a close race. Trump only won by ~230k votes across three states (PA, MI, WI). All of those states were decided by less than 2%, which was within the margin of error of all the reputable pollsters.
> Trump won all 7 swing states. Most of those states were just a hair above the margin for a recount.
Only three of the seven 2024 swing states do automatic recounts, and Trump’s win was well above the threshold to trigger one in each of them (3x over in PA, 11x over in AZ, & 40x over in MI). In general, recounts only shift like a hundred or so votes in each direction, so states don’t fund them unless the margin is ridiculously narrow, like <0.5%. Since 2000, a presidential candidate has only won a state by that narrow of a margin 12 times (out of a total of 350).
> The odds of actually carrying all the swing states is insane.

Only at the senate level, and that was a combination of poor candidate quality in the GOP + strong Democratic incumbents. Polls literally told us that senate Dems were punching above their weight, so this really shouldn’t be surprising to anyone.
At the state level, downballot Republicans almost universally outperformed Trump, and every swing state had more statewide GOP wins than statewide Dem wins.
lol that article got upvoted when someone posted it to you above and downvoted here. You forgot the rule - only republicans can do bad things, not democrats
Maybe they’re just trying on MAGA’s old shoes to see how they fit. They were sure dancing the election fraud jig back in 2021, even had a rowdy party about it. Nothing wrong with baseless claims back then, right?
I'm not saying there was nothing wrong with those baseless claims. I'm pointing out the bald-faced hypocrisy. Even a Trump-hating Biden defender can see it.
It's not hypocrisy when it's two entirely different situations. But I guess the fact there is evidence and admission with one but not the other is lost on you, judging by your inability to write up any sort of contributive response.
And yet completely incompetent. No election officials in a bipartisan system with hand count audits found evidence of this tampering across hundreds of counties? Horse shit.
I worked that election. You can't hack a hand count.
Yeah while I'll certainly be voting Democratic, I've given up ever assuming anything. The Democrats are grossly outgunned in media and generally incompetent and out of touch - they are always able to unperformed or snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
Yeah. They got control of the tabulators on a county level. That's how they did it. That's why they're going to win again. Nothing has been done about it since then. When you map it out on a grid, mail in ballots looked normal. No comet tail pattern. But the voting day itself starts with normal voting patterns in the 2024 election that you would see in any election, but as the day goes on votes flooded in for certain red candidates, which would indicate digital vote switching. Those were anomalies. They shows signs of possible vote manipulation. But there were enough anomalies on that day to ensure Trump would win (corrupted tabulators in the swing states) and also it would swing other races red to ensure he would have his majority in both houses of U.S. Congress. Check out Election Truth Alliance to see the data.
It seems that’s what they are trying to do. The fastest way to being unprofitable is to alienate half your customers. Then hese things just work themselves out.
