04.11.2025 21:05 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0I 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 isnβt enough. There needs to be concrete evidence of how the election was tampered with. Machines, processes etc

If you look at the insane comments on Bobβs Instagram posts youβd think Bob is single-handedly responsible for massively increasing peopleβs taxes. They constantly complain about gas taxes. Never mind those were voted on twice by the people, but they blame Bob.
02.11.2025 02:17 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0The 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.
02.11.2025 02:17 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0The office most responsible for fighting the White House is the Attorney Generalβs 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.
02.11.2025 02:17 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0I donβt 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. Heβs been a bit soft spoken, but has become more vocal of late.

Remove him from office.
Theyβve 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.

That little amount of money wouldnβt even begin to pay military personnel. Thatβs such a donation should be deemed as illegal and corrupt.

25.10.2025 06:11 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Winning 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. Donβt let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Flawed candidates will always exist. Perfect ones are fake. Even Obama wasnβt perfect.
