Nope, I'm out. Sorry, you're too ideologically entrenched for actual discussion. Enjoy the circle jerk.
So you don’t have evidence because there is none and it never happened. I am not a Democrat and I didn’t vote Democrat either

Oh, I am just going to call out any idiot claiming there was election fraud. Considering there’s no evidence and there never will be any, it’s just become fun pissing them off because they’re idiots

(which your group seems to fail heavily realize that most democrats aren't full blown leftists)
"your group"?

Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled that ballot drop boxes are illegal now and they were illegal in 2020. It'll be interesting how this plays out. Does it invalidate all of the ballots dropped in those boxes? Maybe.

Rather funny considering drop boxes were used in previous elections without an issue, and there was 0 mention of them being illegal beforehand (which is something your public/voters should definitely know about) in the 2020 election, but here we are 2 years later and NOW there is a problem with them and rather suddenly now that republicans hold the majority of the Supreme Court in Wisconsin.

Surely there is no bias or corruption there or with that ruling whatsoever.....

Edit: Also looking over it there has been no news stories about it whatsoever in years and the law that forbade it to begin with cannot be found....how very, very odd, you really would think that would have been a bigger issue before now.....

The courts can't make rulings until a case is brought to them. That's how our system works. You can continue to call courts you disagree with illegitimate all you want. It doesn't change rulings. Justice is known to take time. So besides the amount of time, the lack of stories and a "corrupt" court, you got nothing. Duly noted.

Well considering it was fine when Clinton, Bush, Obama, and Trump were elected while the same ballot boxes were present it seems rather strange that no one brought it up or that it wasn't an issue until now. Surely someone in nearly 30 years would have said something, brought the case forward, or actually done something about the illegal boxes, that is, if such a law existed.

Not a fan of Biden by a long shot, but it does seem Republicans as of late are doing everything they can to make the election seem like it was false, rigged, or "illegal" especially when there has never been issues or problems before with the way people voted.

So either:

A) They knew that it was illegal, but treated it as if that law wasn't a big deal for 30+ years, not even warning their citizens not to use said drop boxes.

or

B) They are just now claiming that they are/were illegal after 30+ years for seemingly no reason other than to make some spectacle or point. That point again trying to make the election seem illegitimate in anyway possible, especially in a time of extreme political polarization in the US.

Even if they do find that the drop boxes were illegal for whichever reason, they wouldn't and shouldn't throw out votes just because people did something they weren't even aware was illegal especially when no one said anything in those 30+ officially or unofficially until now.

he's not the most popular. People only voted him because he wasn't Trump. If you check my posts, or any of the people who have argued, none of us view biden as a saint. He is the shit with sprinkles, and Trump is just shit.

1.
you do realize there's more human beings on the planet than there was back during Obama. and invetibly the people who were 12 back then. Are now 18-22. Unless your telling me not a single person became the age of 18 or older from Obama to now.
2. You seem to not grasp that "he's not the most popular. People only voted him because he wasn't Trump."
If people are given two unpopular choices, and one of them is extremely worse. People are going to damage mitigation and choose the lesser of the two.
People viewed, that Trump was the worse of the two choices, and as a result, Biden won by essentially being "I'm not Trump"
Biden won the popular vote. But he was not popular with the people who casted it for him. The popular vote only really speaks about the factuality about who voted for who. Not how they feel towards it.

Before 2020, ballot drop boxes were only found in election clerk offices so they can retain a chain of custody of the ballots. That was impossible with the more than 500 unstaffed drop boxes that were used in 2020. The state legislature did not authorize the expanded use of drop boxes around the state. Contrary to popular belief, the executive branches of states and the federal governments do not make law. They have to abide by the laws voted on by the state legislatures and Congress, respectively. Hope this helps.

Sure is a lot of buyer's remorse. Biden's poll numbers just hit 30%. I guess he was right when he said he was gonna unite the country... against him. :rofl2:

See I know that is a lie because there ballot drop boxes in Georgia in by at least 2004-2005, I even used one in 2008 to cast my vote. Either you are not old enough to know that, got some bad information, or are just downright lying right now.
that was impossible with the more than 500 unstaffed drop boxes that were used in 2020.
How so? Once a Ballot was cast it couldn't be cast multiple times, even when being mailed in or dropped of fand a double vote would be pretty damn obvious. Also, who else do you think had access to them? You need something very specific to open them and the slots are too small for anyone to fit their hands in them. Don't really know what you are implying unless you believe the whole "Ballots were thrown out" spiel that got disproven multiple times.

the state legislature did not authorize the expanded use of drop boxes around the state.

Again if it was a problem before the election why was it not addressed sooner? And before you say "They didn't authorize them" might want to google all the ballot boxes that have pictures in Wisconsin because almost all of them say they are official and from whatever county/city they are located in and there are some that have pictures at least from 2016 so you can't say they didn't exist yet again.

Contrary to popular belief, the executive branches of states and the federal governments do not make law.
Executive will give you that one , but uh, federal laws are passed all the time and apply to everyone in the US and even override state laws. For a good example, if they REALLY wanted to they could bust everyone in Colorado for possession if they so wished as it is still illegal on a federal level.

They have to abide by the laws voted on by the state legislatures and Congress, respectively. Hope this helps.
Again only half right, as laws passed by Congress are written into Federal Law and can easily be enforced if they so chose to enforce them. Not that I think that is 100% a good thing, but it is what it is. Article VI Paragraph 2 AKA the Supremecy clause even states: the federal constitution, and federal law generally, take precedence over state laws, and even state constitutions.
 
Strange how the right constantly complains about Biden and yet they won't ever do anything to upend the two party system that necessitated him. Big thinky!
I find it even more strange that as of late we are starting to see more and more accounts less than a year old that only post in political topics on here and are generally right wing on this site for some reason.

I don't. I used to run an 8chan board, I can absolutely tell you from experience that it's two kinds of people. The majority are weirdos looking for fellow weirdos who like them were raised in environments of insincerity and irony poisoning looking to "trigger" the "sjws" and other dumb shit.

There are others however who were *extremely* insidious and like to come to communities like this that are full of politically-uninvested people to try to radicalize them on the most inane shit possible. My board had a guy who would come in on VPNs almost every day just to try to convince people that gravity was a spook and that (his misunderstanding of) Tesla's theory of electromagnetic shit was gravity.

Like I said, most just want to share their opinion and fling shit. A few however are genuinely insidious in nature. You can tell which ones based on how hard they're pushing insane shit, such as anyone who came in just to push EMF, Soylent, and "globohomo" theories.
