    So if the election wasn't legitimate, then how come none of the super patriots who claim it wasn't showed up to DC on 1/6 to do anything about it?

    Not fighting election theft is anti-American.
    I have a better question. Does it matter? Stolen or not, the same people tend to run the system no matter who wins. This isn't a problem in and of itself, since every system has its ruling elite, but the problem with the American system is that its elites are particularly disgusting.

    Not a better question.

    It does matter because it undermines confidence in our elections and threatens the peaceful transition of power, which is a staple of our democracy.

    There isn't much reason to have confidence in our elections. That's been the case for a long time now. You remember the fiasco in 2000, right?

    The peaceful transition of power is more an illusion than anything else, because there isn't much of a "transition" to begin with. The same lobby groups fuel each party. Yes, each party has its social issues that it throws bones to in order to appease certain political bases, but overall, both parties still vote for invading foreign countries, spending trillions on corporate welfare, and letting multinational corporations do what they please.

    We have a veneer of democracy that works well in keeping people complacent, but oligarchy or plutocracy are more accurate terms for our system.

    The only difference today is that more people seem to realize that the system is a farce. We see this with both Trump supporters and with Antifa.

    For now, I guess the government's attempt at keeping people happy is throwing more stimulus checks at them, but when inflation finally catches up, it won't work anymore.

    Well, the fiasco in 2000 wasn't about the election, it was about the Supreme Court STOPPING a recount in progress.

    That's not anything to do with the election and everything to do with the court.

    If you cannot tell the difference between Republican and Democratic administrations, you're either lying to yourself or others.

    BoThSiDeS is a lazy argument to make because it doesn't consider distinctions and differences, and is made purely by someone who is looking to establish their own profile rather than deal with the facts.

    There is no legitimate argument to be made that bOtHsIdEs ArE tHe SAme because they are not.


    The only difference today is that more people seem to realize that the system is a farce. We see this with both Drumpf supporters and with Antifa.
    Antifa has never ever, ever, ever, ever, ever tried to undermine the electoral process.

    All antifa is is anti-fascism. If you are not anti-fascism, then you are pro-fascism. There is no such thing as ambivalent fascism.
