Good morning everyone, this is my first post. I think I'm like a lot of people on the so-called left. Don't care about BLM morons, [email protected], fuck antifa grad students, just want good wages, shops on main street, tax on millionaries. Zoned out of 2016 election after Hillary won primary. Laugh if you want this time I unironically felt like there was an opportunity for ordinary people with Bernie; to be honest I even ordered flyers and went canvassing for him in our (blue) neighborhood. Well big surprise, suddenly everyone else bows out leaving sleepy joe. Overnight it was as if everyone had Biden portraits above their beds. The most scathing critiques of the process still ended with a vow to vote democrat no matter what. Now I'm like "them" (that is, you guys) if I'm not voting for this crook? At this point I was more than just zoned out, actively looking for more critical voices, finding this place to lurk... Meanwhile my wife is doing the same thing without me knowing. Well since the election "ended" we're more alienated than ever. It's jarring to see the fake enthusiasm and apathetic acceptance of the "president-elect" and condemnation of DJT's calls for a fair process in 99% of all media spaces and among basically everyone else i know irl. How many work emails begin with the unnecessary "so glad Biden won"? The insistence that "the world has moved on" is so strong wherever you go. Everyone has taught themselves to forget about Hunter's laptop, they don't want to hear a word about Dominion. It's all in the past now. It's just absurd that we're all supposed to pretend there was nothing SYSTEMATICALLY wrong with this election. At the same time there's people like you that keep up the fight and take seriously their civic duty to participate in the democratic process. I think any hope to amend the whole process and system begins here, not on the democratic side, which is all Zuckerberg "grants" and fear mongering anyways. at the same time I'm worried about a potential future where 5-10%of people =you guys think the election was.stolen, and most people just don't know or care. Sorry I'm rambling but I do have a sincere question: the actual recounts I've seen don't seem anywhere near what would be needed to flip whole states. If Giuliani's and most of the state level lawsuits are doomed to fail (as every mass media outlet seem inclined to tell me), what would realistically be needed at this point to overturn the "results" of the election in a way comprehensible to someone like me? Alright off to work. Thank you!!
