    I find it odd that anyone thinks there’s going to be (fair) elections. The Democrats (or any party other than MAGA Republicans) are never going to be in power again, ever.

    Too any rich and powerful people will end up in prison if that happened, and right now they’re the ones writing (and rewriting) the rules and breaking the things they can’t control.

    It’s going on in front of everyone’s eyes and the consequences are just being ignored by most. It’s mindboggling.

      I know a lot of people have been saying this, but we’ve seen some nice surprise Democrat election victories lately, mostly on smaller local elections for State judges/senators. There was also the recent attempt to overturn Justine Riggs election, which saw huge public outcry and failed.

      It is reason to be optimistic, and the GOP has certainly had awareness of the importance of all those small local seats for a long time. So even if we presume they have some horrible, secret, nefarious way of manipulating results, I don’t think they can do that on enormous scales, or for every election.

      Be cautious, but you don’t have to be pessimistic.
