None of them have been "legit". They've all been tossed out. They are 0-10+ so far on their challenges.

But the law of averages says that one of them will eventually hit! And then it's game over for Sleepy Joe!

when does trump legally lose the election? saw diamond joe bitching him out for being an embarrassment and not conceding, but i didn't realise conceding actually meant anything. how long can you stay president by just pretending you won and saying it's all a fix?

The electoral college votes on Dec 14th and the Senate confirms that vote on Jan 6th. Until then, sleepy creepy pedophile Joe is only the presumptive winner.

It's a process, the first part is states certifying the votes.

Rudy is creative with these legal things. Remember that he somehow shielded Trump from ever being questioned by Mueller or handing over his tax returns.

Trump was questioned by Mueller.

And there's no legal requirement for Trump to make his tax returns public. How is Rudy creative in giving the same legal advice Trump had been receiving for years on that front?

2000 was an excruciatingly close vote count in a single state with ballots that were stupid by design. Trump would have to somehow flip several states, all of which are nowhere near as close as Florida in 2000, and have ballots that are normal. They're absolutely right to call it in this case, and the Dem electors will be chosen in December on schedule.

I think they're trying like hell to go for the faithless elector route.

The 6D Chess plan is that Republican legislatures will send their own GOP Electors, so there's contested electors, then the GOP Senate will choose the GOP Electors and re-elect Trump.

He's not actually trying to prove the election was rigged, he's trying to achieve a narrative victory, like with birtherism.

They (collective organism of Trumpism) are just feeling out what they can do. Millions of tiny tentacles probing the system for weaknesses, exploiting whatever they find, using them to erode the defenses further, probing for the new weaknesses that exposed, repeat repeat repeat. There's no single goal. When Trump first got into birtherism was he even thinking it would take him all the way to the presidency?

Young people are notoriously poor voters and making it easier to vote disproportionately benefits Democrats, so Repubs are agreeing with what Trump is saying and trying to disparage mail-in voting as insecure so it doesn't become more widely adopted in the 2024 election. Whether that's was Trump's primary concern or just his presidency's posthumous gift to the party so they'll roll with his accusations, hard to say. Depends on whether Trump is as big of an egoist as they say or if he considers the culture he's created as benefitting the party as a whole. Guess we'll know in a few years maybe.

The real game is to fuck things up enough that they somehow end up in the Supreme Court with 3 members of the Bush v. Gore Republican legal team (Brett, Amy, John) ruling.
Oh and Clarence who ruled in favor of the GOP back in 2000 and hates Joe Biden. That only leaves one to flip Alito (appointed by Bush) or Gorsuch (appointed by Trump).

And Trump of course told everybody this was the plan loudly

Trump has speculated that the Supreme Court could face another major lawsuit over the November presidential contest. "I think this will end up at the Supreme Court," he said last month. "And I think it's very important that we have nine justices."

That's probably why people like Graham have said that Trump is allowed and has every right to pursue any legal means to make his case or whatever.

So, how exactly are these 5 [or 6] Supreme Court justices going to ensure Trump wins? What laws or precedence are they going to cite to overturn the results?

The Reuters/Ipsos national opinion survey, which ran from Saturday afternoon to Tuesday, found that 79% of U.S. adults believe Biden won the White House. Another 13% said the election has not yet been decided, 3% said Trump won and 5% said they do not know.

The results were somewhat split along party lines: about six in 10 Republicans and almost every Democrat said Biden won.

Biden should show the leadership to question his own election 

[benjipwns]

“We're not going to be successful if we're silencing districts like mine,” said Tlaib, who told her colleagues something similar during a contentious call last week. “Me not being able to speak on behalf of many of my neighbors right now, many of which are black neighbors, means me being silenced. I can't be silent.”

“We are not interested in unity that asks people to sacrifice their freedom and their rights any longer,” said Tlaib, whose Michigan district is among the poorest in the country. “And if we truly want to unify our country, we have to really respect every single voice. We say that so willingly when we talk about Trump supporters, but we don't say that willingly for my Black and brown neighbors and from LGBTQ neighbors or marginalized people.”

Only a few days after the presidential race was called, Tlaib and other progressive leaders are making it clear there will be no honeymoon for Joe Biden. They have their own takeaways from the election: Top progressive groups are circulating a postelection memo that criticizes centrists for playing into Republicans’ “divide-and-conquer racism.”

...

“If [voters] can walk past blighted homes and school closures and pollution to vote for Biden-Harris, when they feel like they don't have anything else, they deserve to be heard,” Tlaib said, choking up as she expressed frustration near the end of an interview this week. “I can’t believe that people are asking them to be quiet.”


...

“Republican attacks levied at Democrats this cycle based on terms like ‘defund the police’ or ‘socialism’ have become scapegoats for Representatives like Abigail Spanberger, Conor Lamb, and other senior Democrats,” said the memo, which was shared first with POLITICO. “Not a single Democrat — progressive or otherwise — argued that Democrats should run primarily on these themes.”

“These attacks will never go away, nor will demands for reform from social movements,” the memo continued. “The attacks are designed to stoke racial resentment.”

THE MEMO: https://www.politico.com/f/?id=00000175-b4b4-dc7f-a3fd-bdf660490000

But moderates see Biden’s role differently. Americans sent him to the White House to work with Republicans, not around them, they say. “That’s what’s wrong with our country in the past few years—an unwillingness to work across the aisle,” Representative Harley Rouda of California, a Democrat who seems poised to lose reelection in his swing district, told me in a text message. Moderates like Rouda are much more hopeful than their progressive colleagues that significant progress can be made through bipartisan give-and-take. “Biden and McConnell are products of a bygone era in the Senate. Maybe they will want to go back to that stage of consensus-building and cutting deals,” said one senior Senate aide, who requested anonymity because he was not authorized to speak with the press. “People are going to have to consider, Is nothing better than something? Would you take DACA or a pathway to citizenship for more border security?”

Representative Mikie Sherrill of New Jersey, a member of the moderate New Democrats coalition who represents a Republican-leaning district, told me that compromise is the only way forward for Democrats. “If you have an idea on how you can best serve the American people, figure out if there’s a pathway through the Senate,” she said. “If there’s not, then you’re not helping anyone.”

...

Other moderates echoed her in interviews with me, arguing that Republicans successfully tied them to leftist “Squad” members such as Ocasio-Cortez and Representative Ilhan Omar. “No matter what [moderate lawmakers] did personally, the Democratic Party brand stereotype of the loud folks on Twitter was louder,” Erickson told me, citing conversations she’d had with staffers for swing-state members. “They were caricatured as raising taxes, supporting socialism, the Green New Deal, defunding the police, even if they explicitly opposed those things.” One senior aide to another Democratic freshman in a red district lamented that the party should have had a better answer on police reform during this summer’s protests. “The national narrative around law and order was one I don’t think Democrats fully or capably pushed back on in an effective way,” he said.

Sherrill, who won reelection by double digits last week, told me that she managed to “overcome the national messaging that was so detrimental to so many candidates.” When I asked her what the Democrats’ messaging should be instead, Sherrill said that the party needs to be “laser focused” on making people’s day-to-day lives better. “Of course we care about broad issues of justice,” she said. But Democrats “need to be talking to people about jobs and security right now.”
