If there’s a landslide for Harris, it would go a long way in stopping MAGAts from stealing the election.

No. They'll try, but the backlash will be a tidal wave of fury.

I have to say, I disagree about Johnson. He's a Christian traitor bent on dominance, not democracy, doing all he can to stay in power for when he's needed to overthrow America.

Nice piece. But, if Senators/Representatives rejected the vote tally and if they were re-elected on the same ballot, wouldn’t they also lose their re-election? I’m not aware of any state that has a separated ballot by person, party, or position. Hence, a unified ballot of all candidates would yield, if fraud was on the Presidential side, there’s fraud on all parts of the ballot. So, Senators/Representatives on the fraudulent ballot would also lose their re-election and their opponent would automatically win. What is good for the goose is good for the gander!

There’s a quote by Queen Mary Tudor that I’m going to paraphrase. At a lot of autopsies the doctors will find the numerals “2016” engraved on our hearts. Democrats, it’s not 2016 anymore, and despite the moneyed class’s titanic efforts to make a plague year look like some halcyon time, it’s not even 2020. Yes, we must work but let’s have some guts

So, you are arguing, verbatim, that Trump made US democracy stronger? Also, if the left-wing fascists challenge Trump's 2024 victory they should by absolutely prosecuted into the depths of the brown star that is Washington DC. Also, BLM/ANTIFA protestors are actually insurrectionists and all belong in jail? Nice. We have finally found some common ground.

sure, trump`s like the criminal that tests the security system and shows us where the leaks are. no wait... he *is* the criminal that tests the security system and now those holes have been filled. and sure, anyone who breaks the law should absolutely be prosecuted. and sure, even some blm/antifa protestors belong in jail. but i`m not so sure that`s common ground. especially since there are browner stars in the u.s. than d.c. and they`re all much further south.

So, you believe that all politicians have been investigated with the full power of the intelligence community? Nobody has been found guilty of any felonies until they bundled misdemeanors and convicted Trump, but it was all a totally level playing field. Bill Clinton never raped women and children. Biden never plagiarized speeches and never lied under oath? The Clinton foundation never raised billions in exchange for political favors? Epstein and Weinstein never flew around Africa for a month with Bill the rapist, sleeping with women? Do you think less of Trump since the "conviction?"

You know this is the same thing half the country believes about you. All of these comments show that you are no different than Maga or what ever a person’s belief or opinion is. Seems it doesn’t matter to you so called experts at democracy that the best thing to do is control it for yourself.

The Democrats are much better equipped to steal the elections but I certainly hope so because y’ all believe who ever can steal the best is the winner. That’s why you side wants an election month. They need to do away with write-in balloting. So a few can’t vote. Tough. At least the rest of us can be assured the results were actual. Actually, they should make the voter spell the name. That’s just a small test that the voter knows who he actually is voting for.

Massive voting by mail is a process ripe for fraud. Now that Democrats have discovered this “tool” (which facilitates illegal vote 🗳 harvesting) expect more of the same in future elections. Just as described in the article below.

republicans already had this "tool" for all the good it did them. you think republicans won`t use it again ? wouldn`t it just be a fair playing field if the democrats used it ? and what about the libertarians and green party using it ? it`s a free "tool" for anyone to use. it`s bizarre that you think only one party would use such a "tool." also, new york times is another entertainment rag. not the kind of publication that will convince anyone of anything. but i`m sure it`s the bible for fox viewers.

I am not fooled by either candidate. I know exactly what Biden offers and doesn’t offer. I also know for a fact trump is not an option, in the end, Black voters will keep Biden afloat because it’s bigger than trump, it’s the entire Republican agenda.

Well, thank you, Jay, from the bottom of my heart. I have been deeply concerned about tRum$Party shenanigans.

My anxiety level has decreased significantly after reading your thoughts.

I was not considering ALL the points you made that are reassuring: the battleground states leadership, for one example.

Janet, it is your dide bringing in illegal immigrants and training them how to lie and vote. It is your side hiding vote counts. It is your side that died to override voter laws. Please stop gaslighting about rascally Republicans stealing elections.

You would be wrong.

You are apparently buying into right wing lies and propaganda.

The entire GOP is gaslighting you.
