And he still lost the popular vote and the electoral college. His career is functionally over. He lost his home state and his birth state, his gubernatorial constituents hate him now because he basically reversed every position he held as governor to increase his chances at the presidency and he's been proven to lie, cheat and steal.

I find it hard to muster enough energy to care about anything Mitt Romney does from here on out.

It's not Mitt Romney specific fraud - it's Republican-specific fraud (votes were also rigged towards John McCain against Obama in 2008, and it seems likely that the republican candidate will continue to get a huge vote advantage until the perpretators are caught and brought to justice)

It's good that Mitt Romney lost, but he lost by a far shallower margin than he legitimately would have by

McCain lost too.

Re: fuck the us political process forever

lmao, no wonder it didn't make sense to me that people were voting for him.

Re: fuck the us political process forever

Don't blame it on this. This might have caused a 3-5% swing in votes, but a LOT of people who vote, voted for McCain and Romney, on purpose, claiming some kind of actual understanding of his platform and agreeing with it.

E(Romney) != E(Obama)

more seriously though, election fraud has been going on for years now. The shenanigans this year in Ohio/Florida were especially hilarious. Jon Husted's getting shitcanned by a Federal judge right now. It's too bad little will probably come from it.
in b4 typical, baseless "but the other side does it too!"

I was going to say "you think the dems dont do this?" But there's too much republican bashing on here to be really rational about anything.

US politics are hilarious on both sides regardless of election fraud. null point

Re: fuck the us political process forever

Anne Romney was quoted saying that if Mitt loses the election they are done with politics. Not sure if that's still true because I read that back in September.

Re: fuck the us political process forever

my white text above was well-timed, as fate would have it


Just because something happens "on both sides" doesn't mean they occur in equal amounts or that the magnitudes of each are necessarily comparable.

example of such a distribution:


You can find wrongdoing just about anywhere you look. It becomes a meaningless comparison if that's your metric.

Re: fuck the us political process forever

No, but when you're sitting there going "THE DIRTY DIRTY REPS DID THIS" and then going "oh its okay that the dems did it, it wasnt such a big deal!" that's kind of ridiculous.

I'm not for either side, honestly, and I dont really care. It's just obnoxious when people are bashing the shit out of another side for doing the same thing (in different ways) without even realizing it.

It's not okay that *anyone* does it, Democrat or Republican.

But again, when a vast majority of it is coming from a particular group, that group is very much blameworthy. Otherwise it's invoking false equivalence arguments.
