Gov. Gavin Newsom on Friday accused the Trump administration of “rigging the election” by dispatching federal poll monitors to five California counties, as voters cast ballots on Newsom’s Proposition 50 redistricting measure.
The Department of Justice announced Friday that it would deploy personnel to polling sites in Fresno, Kern, Los Angeles, Orange and Riverside counties to “ensure transparency, ballot security, and compliance with federal law,” ahead of the state’s Nov. 4 special election.
In an interview with KQED’s Political Breakdown, Newsom said the move was a “setup” for the Trump administration to cast doubt on the potential victory of Proposition 50 — a plan to redraw the state’s congressional district lines to advantage Democrats.
You absolutely are. And the rest of your comment only doubled down on it. Quit equating what Trump did in 2020 to what random people on the internet said one time. It is not even comparable.
Saying this kind of stuff only gives Trump and his supporters justification for doing the same thing or worse next time.
And if you think my comment was “treating you like shit”, you probably need to get off the internet. I was as respectful in saying “you are 100% wrong” as possible.
I didnt, you just took it that way. I was talking about voters, social media morons, no politicians on either side. You, among others, want to paint what I said in a different context because you know Im right.
But hey, if you really are that fucking stupid that you think “No one trusts the system anymore” is me talking about the people IN the system, then you really are one of the dumbest fucker of mothers to even grace the internet with your horrible takes.
So when you said this, you were just talking about all the same people that complain about elections every single election cycle (2000, 2004, 2008, 2012, 2016…)? The people that have never trusted the system? And not the one group that was actually different from every other year?
Cause in Dec of 2020, the maga friendly friends of mine were making this exact same comment. “Democrats complained about 2016, Republicans are complaining now, no difference”. And they were pretty fucking quiet when Trump attempted an actual insurrection.
And in 2028, when Trump runs for his 3rd term, they are going to be making the exact same comment you just made.
You come across as the kind of person that is surrounded by assholes, but doesn’t realize who the actual asshole is.
“No one trusts the system anymore. In 2020, the MAGA said the election was stolen. In 2024, the Dems said the same thing"
You cant fucking follow that? Seriously??? That the “No one” is the people outside the system, not the people in it??? Come the fuck on.
Going in circles now, but like I said, you sound exactly like the maga friends in Dec 2020 who were quiet as a mouse about the actual insurrection attempt.
So my initial response to that statement is to push back against the narrative that they wanted to push forward and are going to push forward again when Trump does the same shit in 2028 he did in 2020.
If your intent was to say people don’t trust the system anymore and you accidentally used a fascist friendly talking point, then I totally agree. But I would again push back that the party that has already attempted an insurrection and is currently sending actual military into democratic cities is a little more to blame for this.
