    Fair enough I suppose. I respect that, though I do personally disagree on the Trump presidency.

    But I think I am among the people who have not done much research into it, so I'm not here to debate that.

    I should also add that if someone says something along the lines of "the legislature didn't support trump in preventing election fraud"

    Then I don't exactly see an issue with that because the members of legislature are representatives who were elected just like trump in 2016. Them turning their back on him is, to some imaginable degree, equivalent to the popular vote.

It pisses me off so much because I cannot tell whats true or whats not. For every allegation or rumour of fraud, there is an equivalent cry of 'FAKE NEWS!!!'

    This isn't even about Trump winning; its just about people being able to trust the electoral system. How can people do that when half the country doesnt believe the President is actually the President? People should be pushing for greater investigation into what happened this election just so we have some closure. I'm glad I'm not American because this looks like a total nightmare.
    IMO, lets momentarily assume the claims of election fraud are true and Trump should've won:

    The president of one of the most influential countries in the world rn

    He has been complaining about his political enemies (and sometimes demonizing them depending on how one looks at it) for how many years now?

    While I don't have an accurate statistic or anything regarding that, but if, for hypothetical example, Trump was aware of a possible future where there is election fraud for the entirety of his presidency

    He had 4 YEARS to do something about that......and he still lost lol, despite being the president of the godamm United States of America.

    Even if the claims of fraud are 100% true and Trump was supposed to win, I think that's enough to disqualify Trump on the basis of severe incompetence. He's part of the Executive branch of the goverment; protecting the law is one of his fucking jobs (to at least some degree) and he failed to protect election law.

    And he failed that test. He's fired.

    And if someone (I'm not implying this is you Oberon) is going to counter-argue that "the president isn't strong enough to protect the election", then I guess the position isn't that much of a big deal then, am I right?

    On a clarifying note, I don't think significant amounts of election fraud occurred.

    Am I the only one who sees a problem that people are allowed to shoot their mouths off irresponsibly without repercussions?

    The whole “freedom of speech I can say whatever I want you can’t do shit to me” system sucks, seriously. People are not held accountable for their words. Talk about a complete lack of responsibility.

    I actually quite agree with this for those who are in government/higher positions.

    While I cannot agree that free speech should be removed in the majority of cases, I do believe it can be or is a dangerous freedom to give to people who's statements are supposed to be more trustworthy than the general public's.

    I could discuss this more, but I don't think I would qualify as an expert or knowledgeable on this topic since I haven't discussed it much; sort of in lieu of what you said earlier in another topic:

    People are not prevented from voicing their political views, they are just kept in check.
    And as it’s a formal public event, tied to a person’s personal identity (no keyboard warrior-ing free of consequences), it’s a self-selective process that eliminates the dumb, lazy & misinformed.
    If you’re up there on stage, it means you’ve actually done your research & prepared to speak about the politics you’re taking a stance on.
    I could discuss what I think are the ethics of it or otherwise, but I can't claim to have done much research into the idea.
