I'm not getting my hopes up, especially at the national level.

(6,377 posts)There's no doubt that Russia has impacted elections though it's online disinformation campaigns. But I've seen a lot of people here who think they actually changed votes in the ballot box, which there has been no evidence to support whatsoever.

(9,527 posts)The election wasn't rigged. There is zero evidence it was. The national polling 2016 were more accurate than in 2012. Or do you thing Obama rigged the election?

(4,450 posts)I'm saying, the Republicans won in 2016 despite our votes and will do so again in 2018. TRUMP's court is confirming gerrymandered Congressional maps left and right, and upholding voter suppression laws at a similar rate. TRUMP just got another Supreme Court vote. There's no conspiracy theory here, just reality.

(25,586 posts)A Supreme Court that can uphold this fucking bullshit
with their current makeup is a Supreme Court that will be Step One in a goddamned sci-fi dystopia with another right wing ideologue on the bench.
I officially hate everyone and everything now. Fuck it all.
