  1. We know. The problem is evidence, testimony, and a crooked Supreme Court.

  2. There was enough evidence presented of Pro V & V tampering with election machines in the past election that a federal judge allowed the lawsuit to proceed forward. The evidence presented at the initial hearing was pretty damning, and they said there was more to come. If they tampered with the last election, they sure as shit will do it again.

  3. tRump will hold the midterms because they will be rigged through the vote counting machines, just like ’24 when he won all 7 swing states even though Dem voters didn’t flip on senators and down ballot races.

  4. I thought Carvilles’ plan was to just sit back and watch, hoping they mess it up. Feels like some mixed messaging.

  5. I love that old fart but James hasn’t picked a winner since 1996

  7. Yep, which is why the Republicans in Congress are not worried about their voters objecting to cuts in Medicare. The elections will be rigged.

    The US government is now really good at hacking and consolidating data.

  8. Maybe the DNC can pay for some hand recounts in suspicious districts where the vote tallies don’t trigger an automatic recount.

    Hell, I’ll fly on my own dime, pay for my own hotel and transportation, and work for free. If we’re convinced they’re cheating, let’s get some proof, not just Twurp-style whining.

  9. I can’t understand what Carville is saying. He’s too busy sucking off Peter Theil. (Carville works for Palantir)

    I hate analysis without a plan to defend our elections. What the fuck does is matter of we know what is going to happen if we stand around and do nothing?

    If this probable then it is up to us to do something about this now while we still can. Boycotts? Yes! Strikes? Yes! Protests? Yes! Campaigning? Yes! Hunger Strikes? Yes! What ever we have to do to secure our country and our constitution. WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE DOING STANDING AROUND.

    Giving my life to this thing isn’t enough!

  10. Trump is a goober but even he probably knows it would be too ham fisted to NOT hold the midterms at all, instead there probably will be “elections” but the Rs will increase their margin in the House and somehow senate seats in GA and other states will flip to the Republican candidate and it’ll be explained away by “MAGA is becoming even more popular, look how great of a president I am!”

  11. This is one prediction he might actually get right sadly

    That Trump would likely rig them is obvious (“find me 10,000 votes,” “if I lose it’s because there was massive fraud). But how will he do it? He’ll have to cook up a scheme that works at both state and federal levels.

    It would be good if we could predict the things he will do to try and get out ahead of them

  13. I agree but what this AH relevant? He brought us the neoliberalism of Bill Clinton who is in large measure to blame for Trump, having turned the Democratic Party away from the people

  14. A month ago Carville was telling everyone to relax and watch the right implode. This cretaceous era swamp-thing needs to crawl back into the bayou where he belongs.

  16. Well obviously. He rigged the presidential election too.

  17. No shit. Just wait until they start talking about “securing the election” and it will be just that.

  19. The key to winning this war is to first fully recognize we are at war.

  20. They attempted an actual coup. Every last one of them would be in prison if he hadn’t won the election.

    You think they won’t go at least that far again? For fucks sake. *they already have*

    It was a foregone conclusion that no future elections would be clean or probably even happening at all the minute the 2024 election result was certified.

    It’s no good acting surprised now. If you didn’t know it, it’s because you didn’t want to.

  21. Yeah I’m sure he’ll try to, but I’d also prefer not to portray a guy with [shady connections to Peter Thiel and Palantir](https://www.theverge.com/2018/2/27/17054740/palantir-predictive-policing-tool-new-orleans-nopd) as some kind of authority figure.

    > Palantir first approached New Orleans in 2012 through a well-known intermediary: James Carville, the Democratic Party power broker and architect of Bill Clinton’s successful 1992 presidential campaign. Carville is a paid adviser of Palantir whose involvement with the data-mining company dates back at least to 2011.

  22. Today, Trump has openly threatened a Democrat running for mayor and to interfere in New York City’s mayoral race.

    These is no dirty trick beyond Trump and his allies at this point.

    Even if they can’t outright postpone or cancel election, what’s to stop Trump from putting Ice Agents at polling places? Or marching the Miltary into places that lead Democrat.

    All under the excuse of ensuring elections will be secured.

  23. Extremely tired of pushing voter apathy. 

    If the election is rigged, we’re fucked. 

    But if people sit it out because they think it’s rigged, we have no chance at all. 

  25. He also said Harris would win in a landslide and has consistently dismissed anyone left of Clinton so you’ll forgive me for ignoring him. Dude is a has-been who needs to be return to the swamp he crawled out of 40 years ago

    For what it’s worth I have no doubt that the gop would be open to election rigging, but it’s not that easy. Elections are conducted by the states and all of the swing states have, at current, democratic governors and secretaries of state. I have yet to see anyone provide a method by which the trump administration is going to rig congressional races.

    Furthermore we need to stop with the doomermism. The progressive side of the party has good ideas that, when communicated clearly and positively, are very popular. Mamdani won by 12 points because he gave people a reason to hope. Maybe the trump administration will find a way to rig things, we have to go into these elections with the conviction that they will be legitimate and that we will win the house and senate and that we will hamper his efforts.

  26. It’s a fact trump tried to steal the 2020 election

    * Demanded the GA Sec of State “find” exactly enough votes to give him a win

    * Godfathered the plan to have FAKE pro-trump state electors replace the official, voted on electors

    * ordered Mike Pence, the Vice President who also serves as President of the Senate, to cancel or postpone the Senate confirmation vote of his defeat

  30. Of course he will, he can legally change all the votes he wants now because the law doesn’t apply to him

    He can just throw out all the elections and call it whatever he wants

    He’s an emperor and there’s nothing we can do about it
