Doesn't make a difference anymore. Just look at who Biden is onboarding into his administration.

Well Mike if this “Trump wins it in court” meme starts to get some traction it might start to effect all the current “blue wave!” bullishness...

Still a bit under the radar though this is the first Ive seen it promoted in the left wing media...

Whatever the outcome, a lot of people around the world have woken up to the fact that the US is not a democracy as "government of, by and for the people" (Lincoln) as advertised but rather a republic based on Rome, which is the way the founding fathers designed it.

The founding fathers were almost to man (they were all men, of course) anti-democratic, regarding actual democracy as the "rule of the rabble."

This is likely have adverse repercussions globally for the US likely becoming another drain on US soft power.

It will also lead to deeper division domestically, increasing political paralysis and ungovernablity. It doesn't bode well economically either.

No fix either without revising the US Constitution.

Pa legislature goes out of session tomorrow until new legislature is seated. The resolution is a political gesture but will never get passed into law and will die when they adjourn Monday. Few of the statistical claims are substantive enough to turn votes in any number and are pretty quickly debunked. The one wildcard is the constitutional case headed to Pa Supreme Court.

Trump or bust. Either way, the American people lose.

Inverted Totalitarianism. The faceless anonymity of the corporate state. It pays outward fealty to the facade of electoral politics, the Constitution, freedom of the press etc., but it has seized all of the mechanisms of power rendering the citizen impotent.
