Here’s a little secret: Americans vote for Congress and the President on the same ballot!

Since Republicans accept the results of House & Senate Congressional elections, they obviously know this is a legitimate election.

It’s time for them to act like it.

@realDonaldTrump @EveningEdit Y’all can count tax breaks for the wealthy
Y’all can count unemployment rates
Y’all can count the jobs numbers
Y’all can count the 4 Black people at Trump rallies

But y’all are confused about counting votes?

"There is a pervasive sense among current and former GOP officials that the president’s behavior is irresponsible if not dangerous, but a divide has emerged between those influential Republicans willing to call him out publicly and those who aren’t"

Tweeting "Learn to code" at Trump with sufficient frequency to become a hero to hashtag resist twitter. Using the trust gained to subtly convert them to Marxist-Rawlsianism. Launching and coordinating a general strike from my twitter feed. Full communism by 2023.

Some context around this moment in the US, by @L__Macfarlane

[The Real Truther @thereal_truther]

The right-wing Heritage Foundation collected data over a 36-year period and could only find 1,285 cases of voter fraud out of nearly two billion votes cast.

That's a rate of .0000007%.

About the same probability as being hit by an asteroid.

Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman to NBC: "The president can sue a ham sandwich ... every one of these ballots that's in play right now that's gonna be counted throughout the rest of the day has been lawfully received and going to be counted."

@openDemocracy I have realised that most of their rhetoric is thinly disguised psycho-political projection.

[The Women's Organisation @TheWomensOrg]

After narrowly losing election for governor in 2018, she led a crusade to register 800k voters in Georgia - 45% of those new voters are under the age of 30 and 49% are people of colour.

“I sat shiva for 10 days. Then I started plotting.”

Never say die.

[The Women's Organisation @TheWomensOrg]

It’s reported that Stacey Abrams worked relentlessly to register over 800,000 new voters across Georgia who were affected by voter suppression in time for the U.S elections.

That is some impact 👏🏾🇺🇸
