    THEY WON BY CHEATING! If we don’t address that single issue, they will do it worse next time, and he is going to win in 2028 with 98% of the “vote,” and use that to justify ignoring the Constitutional prohibition of a third term.

    You can’t reasonably expect to win against a election fraud scheme that has already succeeded once, and is in the process of getting even more streamlined.

    You can keep trying to find the people who refused to vote in the most attended election in history, but it will never be enough to outpace vote switching, it only gives them more votes to switch.

      Capital letters don’t really change anything. I’ve said what I said based on decades of watching these things, I know how the world works. If we chase around cheating evidence we will lose even more. It’s not how the game works. The real problem is people and what Americans think and feel, if you fix any level of cheating you will still have that as a much worse problem.

      But this is also why we don’t see politicians going after election fraud to any large degree, because they also understand how things work.

        I’ve been following politics since the 60s, so I know what’s going on, too. One thing I’ve learned in life is that you can’t let the guy who is always winning by cheating to continue. It is highly demoralizing to everyone else. It doesn’t help that the cheater usually rubs his ill-gotten wins in everyone’s faces.

        They have developed a wide-ranging system of cheating, that just evolves and gets stronger. You will NEVER win an election until you address it. Even if you do manage to win one, they will just use their short period out of power to improve their cheating strategy to win next time, which is exactly what they did between 2020 and 2024.

        The system is broken, and it needs to be fixed. Just using the broken system harder is only going to make things worse. When an appliance is acting up, you don’t just pound on it, you fix it properly.
