Could the defense attorney get away with stating that to the jury? 😁

I saw an interview on the Brian Tyler Cohen podcast about this and so far the information seems to be based on statistical anomalies of voting patterns. Brian pointed out that this alone isn’t enough. There needs to be concrete evidence of how the election was tampered with. Machines, processes etc

And we the people elected him. Which makes it our responsibility to clean up. Yes the gerrymandering and voter suppression were big factors and the disinformation media channels deranged the public. But at the end if the day it’s up to us.

Text your busy friends and family and offer to take their ballots in for them if you can. I’m dropping of my sister’s because she works crazy hours

If you look at the insane comments on Bob’s Instagram posts you’d think Bob is single-handedly responsible for massively increasing people’s taxes. They constantly complain about gas taxes. Never mind those were voted on twice by the people, but they blame Bob.

The legislature is filled with center right and right wing politicians from all over the state and largely prevents real progressive policies from being enacted. Yes we can fairly blame Bob for preventing real taxation reform. But he was recognizing forces smoldering with resentment.

The office most responsible for fighting the White House is the Attorney General’s office as Bob was our attorney general before our current one. Our new attorney general is doing the work and also communicating with his quiet reassuring style. The fact remains our majority is not invincible.

I don’t know about anything creepy. The executive & the legislature are two coequal branches. I would say the legislature did not fight hard enough for progressive priorities and both branches are centrist. He’s been a bit soft spoken, but has become more vocal of late.

What's with this Stephen? For a moment I was about to write and snark to a MAGAbot only to discover it was someone I know. What has he done to piss you off?

Facial recognition has both defect rates! And any decision that challenges citizenship must be done in court.

you don’t need to. The current hypothesis were voting a regularities in a number of rural precencts. I think the statistical analysis highlights unusual patterns that merit investigation. it may be hard to prove. But not necessarily it quixotic endeavor.

The opening gambit must be strong and something the Republicans won't like. Then you negotiate down to a tenable position for you and something they can grit their teeth and say yes. Right now the Dems have only offered the bare minimum.

He orders extrajudicial killings. He sent troops into our cities. He terrorizes citizens with ICE raids. He raised taxes without congressional approval. He has ruined American farmers and ranchers. He plans to starve the vulnerable. He demolished our house.

Remove him from office.

They’ve basically just been sitting on their hands and until very recently have been milquetoast in their communications. The kind of behavior when their big funders are the same as who funded the republicans.

Yes I’ve always said the market (and capitalism) doesn’t care who lives or dies or who lives well or not.

It doesn’t really matter which college because that is the standard explanation taught in any micro economics class. And that is the classic attitude in corporate America. Look at the fact that Republicans don’t want us to have healthcare.

Seattle had a transit riding dog. They even made news stories about him.

That little amount of money wouldn’t even begin to pay military personnel. That’s such a donation should be deemed as illegal and corrupt.

It was my college, micro economics class where the professor suggested it would be β€œmore efficientβ€œ if surplus food were dumped in the ocean then if it were distributed. That enraged me.

Neither the FEC nor open secrets have info post 2020 and Pete has not declared any candidacy. So I’d say there’s no evidence available that he’s taken aipac money at this time. But there are also pop up nonprofits that can funnel dark money to anyone.

State and local police could legally stop them as the federal government had no roll in managing local elections.

The only other significant contender is 77 years old and very much an establishment politician. Gerontocracy has ruined our chances at gaining power and perpetuate bad policies. Stop legitimizing them.

Winning power is necessary to effect political goals. And in this case wrenching power away from fascists so we can protect the nation. Purity is an absurd standard. Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Flawed candidates will always exist. Perfect ones are fake. Even Obama wasn’t perfect.
