After making more than three years of unfounded claims that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from him, Trump is now warning of an even bigger theft in 2024.
But the tactic will backfire if enough potential Trump voters decide there’s no point in voting because the game is already rigged against them.
You might as well stay home.
The cultists believe that Trump losing the last election by over 7 million votes was due to fraud? Of which there has been NO evidence? Such a gullible fools.
If we didn't have the archaic electoral college system, Trump wouldn't stand a chance.

I don’t understand this. Does your state elect its governor by weighting votes from different counties differently? Don’t all the votes count the same? Doesn’t the governor pay the same attention, roughly, to all the parts of the state - or at least in proportion to how many votes he/she thinks are available there?
Why would a Presidential candidate ignore New England if it was an area that would produce a lot of votes for that candidate? Or the South? Or the West? Why wouldn’t a candidate go everywhere and anywhere they could to meet with voters and discuss the issues that are important to them, given that it’s a big country with lots of varying constituencies, from manufacturing to farming to mineral extraction to conservation?

Minority rule is what it get us. That's archaic and undemocratic.

I have come to think that the whole "no compromise" movement on the right wouldn't have gotten as far, so we'd be better off. Our right has gone very far to the right. There was money/power in driving you to the right and the whole thing got carried away and resulted in Trump. What should happen is that you compromise and we get workable legislation.
