Of course, they can't say "war criminal Donald Trump" because that would then invite people to call Biden a war criminal too

I'm sorry you live in a country without free and transparent elections.

@midwest.social

I have bad news for you

[–] Mjpasta710@midwest.social 1 points 11 months ago

The elections have been free and transparent mostly. I didn't say fair elections. I didn't say the right person won or the most popular choice won.

As i noted above, 2000 was definitely decided and counting stopped in a way that favored one party. 2016 - trump did what was needed to avoid kompromat being released and also colluded to keep damaging news stories out of the public eye while running disinformation efforts against competition. 2020 - trump tried to install fake electors, and garner votes from states illegally.

The voter results have been mostly available through request. Historically sites have been set up to track the vote totals against the voter roles supporting my claims of transparency.

Death to America

The elections have been transparent, and close to free for First past the pole. Local elections have been transparent and free to my recollection, with the exception of those disqualified and voter suppression attempts. Unless you are referring 2016 being tampered with by trump. Or 2000 being tampered with by the Supreme Court. Those were clear subversions of the populace's choice. Or Citizen's United and SuperPAC decisions+ Supreme Court's power grabs + making presidents going forward into kings. Ok, except for the death part, you have a point. Wishing death or holding hate will not help you and hasten your end, not mine or America's.
