This is literally a scene from the movie Trading Places. "It is impossible to acknowledge the election results. We will ask for the elections to be annulled."

The rightwing wants to hurt people and enrich themselves. It's the same everywhere. They are eager to destroy the environment for profit at the expense of humanity and our collective future. Workers must have a say over the economy or it's not democracy. It's a system of overseers. .

I’m confused by whatever he’s trying to pass for logic here. So he’s claiming it should be annulled because the court extended the time but he also put in a request for a time extension. He can’t have it both ways

Im quite confident this is literally true. All of them are essentially just running through the mechanics of opportunity and power. If there is a thing they can do, they do the thing, regardless of how little it will work, because it's all about maximizing potential mechanically (for themselves)

People don't like fascism? They prefer not to be ruled by a shiftless, corrupt, lying, wannabe dictator nepo baby jackass? It's impossible!

Had I the time I'd post links for you of all the Republican candidates in America's history who lost an election and refused to concede. But perhaps you have that kind of free time. I don't.

No, because there wasn't an invalid election within any state. The Electoral College just should've been abolished a century ago, just like we did with state-appointed Senators.

It is wild to consider how our politics would be working today if states still appointed Senators. People would care a lot more about state leadership and state elections.

I agree about the electoral college, but there was gerrymandering, voter roll purges, removed polling places, burned ballot boxes, and musk's hackers. I don't consider that a valid election.
