Well that's just going to fuel more conspiracy theories. Sigh.

It was amazing when states like PA were counting and clearly said results will change by the morning, and when that happened and people woke up to a different result they started crying conspiracy.

The election definitely wasn't rigged, but if it had been necessary to do so I would have supported it. Can't ever repeat the disaster we had from 2016 - 2022 again.

And this is not going to fuel more conspiracy theories, at all \o/

Inane "AI" regurgitating what it is parsing from social media echo chambers as the epitome of "progress".

You cant blame algorithms. People will get the digital society they deserve. Unless they do something about it.

A sane online world will not materialize as a god-given present. It will the result of informed, enlightened and passionate people banging about the cause for as long as it takes.

The challenge is commensurate with any of the major civic struggles of the past.

The people that fail to reason will continue to fail to reason regardless of any comment I make.

George Washington in his transfer of power farewell speech warned Americans to avoid factionalism, right? But never mind that. Our party base (true speaking for either franchise that extracts rents from the need for electoral viability now) are more patriotic than that dude.

Or we only have to outrun the slower party in order to successfully outrun the grizzly bear of being less best for the country. No other accountability applies for very long if your faction can still pull back ahead as the better one for some projective new future of America, but both factions by their own definition will always outrun the other in that shadow race.
