As I suspected, long on memes and sarcasm recycled from conspiracist idiots, no actual content or understanding. You have dragged this forum into your notional monkey house with your torrent of absurdist bulls**t and attempts to patronise anybody who calls you on it. Enough is enough.

I think he is right about the vote integrity, but it’s ludicrous solution.
Trump is fundraising a ton of money during this whole controversy. Do over?

is it really that ludicrous? as I said before the validity of the constitution as a contract between states is at stake. there is already talk of secession.

the grounds of it being thrown out were of 'lack of standing'. the merits of the case itself have not been ruled on. this is the double bind. texas hasnt suffered harmed yet because the [true] election hasnt taken place yet - electoral college. but by the time it has, it becomes impossible to undo what might have proven to be an unconstitutional election.
guiliani has suggested that any of the other plaintiff states can make a copy and paste suits. if they can prove standing it gets heard so that may be the next move.
if the lawfare fails the s**t will hit the fan.

Yes, but it’s the conclusion and suggested following actions that are ludicrous. If the election is illegal re-run the election in the four states. You can’t just set aside a Democratic Election. That’s a dictatorship of the legislature facilitated by the judiciary.

LOL
these deepfakes are getting insane!

the US is not a democracy. its a republic. technically the public vote is just a steer for the state legislature who are the actual voters. they vote the way that the public votes because they want to be reelected of course but they are under no obligation to. so not a dictatorship - that is how the system is supposed to work.
I agree it does seem somewhat of a nuclear option. but when you balance that with the potential damage to the union that the alternative provides maybe the state legislature could decide that it is the least worst course of action.
in terms of a re-run, I saw some discussion on it but there was dispute as to whether that was even possible within the rules of the election. someone mooted the suggestion that you could end up with a pelosi/pence stand in administration which would be pure comedy from start to finish.

Just so that we're clear....
You don't regard America as being a democracy (at least in it's stated intention) and that it's perfectly fine for a defeated incumbent to abuse their power to try to overturn the stated will of the people?

2 - you are attempting to frame my assessment of what could happen in terms of what I want to happen.

People right here claimed we need to be worried about democrats rioting, not a republican coup. Glad to see you've backtracked.
