      I mean, 75m people did vote for harris. Which is larger than the protest turnout, by quite a margin, so Im going to guess these people were at the polls voting. For harris.

      They didn’t believe he would make such drastic cuts. Everyone I know has been impacted by DOGE or has a relation to someone who has. It now is effecting people who didn’t think it could and they are energized.

      Do you trust the polling machines and the people running them? Somebody could tell me grass is green and I’d still doubt their words.

        I agree with you and a judge agrees enough to let a case go through:

        A legal case questioning the accuracy of the 2024 election is moving forward.

        According to the complaint, more voters have sworn in legal affidavits that they voted for independent U.S. Senate candidate Diane Sare than the Rockland County Board of Elections counted and certified, contradicting those results. The complaint also cited numerous statistical anomalies in the presidential election results.

        They include multiple districts where hundreds of voters chose the Democratic candidate Kirsten Gillibrand for Senate, but none voted for former Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic candidate for president.

        The lawsuit is seeking a full, hand recount of ballots cast in the presidential and U.S. Senate races in Rockland County. A hearing has been scheduled for September 22.

        By that logic, no president has ever been elected, and we’ve had the same dictator for 50 years.

        Because if you have no trust in the system, but also have no proof, you’re just spouting off what you “believe” and “don’t believe”. Which could be anything.

        In 2020 trump and his supporters claimed the election was rigged. He claimed fraud. And I saw no evidence of that. Now, you claim the same thing about the 2024 election. And again I see no evidence.

        What I see is a terrible country, full of idiots, who either couldn’t see the obvious problems trump would bring, or didn’t want to admit those problems were legitimate plans.

        And it’s not like trump hid any of this. He explicitly laid out these plans. These were his campaign promises. And he’s not done yet. He also plans to rid the country of the 2 term limit, AND he wants to get rid of the need for him to go through another election.

        He wants to be dictator, and has said as such since 2015. Judges have already struct down some of his plans, but how long will that last?

        So if you want to doubt the machines were legitimate, that would currently be a serious offense.

        Better have some evidence.

          Aren’t there lawsuits being brought forward for some statistical discrepancies though? Not proof yet, but it’s not like it is entirely without doubt it could have been manipulated.

            If you think that’s a lot of words, I genuinely want to see your reaction to seeing a book. Have you heard of books? They contain a lot of words. And people intentionally read them because they aren’t intimidated by that sort of thing.

      The only meaningful number would be how many of these protesters voted Trump in 2024.

      There are low turnouts because people (correctly) don’t believe that voting does anything. Police funding was increased after BLM, and the US began pushing genocide under Biden. People are/were disenfranchised and refused to vote to enable such donor-only serving policy.
