This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.
The RPGPundit's Own Forum Rules
This part of the site is controlled by the RPGPundit. This is where he discusses topics that he finds interesting. You may post here, but understand that there are limits. The RPGPundit can shut down any thread, topic of discussion, or user in a thread at his pleasure. This part of the site is essentially his house, so keep that in mind. Note that this is the only part of the site where political discussion is permitted, but is regulated by the RPGPundit.

If you think the Democrats rigged the election, please answer these simple questions:

1) Why did they rig it to be so close
2) Why didn't they rig the senate at the same time
3) Why did they rig it so Republicans gained seats in the house

If you think that's how election rigging works, please answer these simple questions:

1) Why didn't they rig it to be 100%?
2) Why didn't they rig it to make every single Senator a Democrat?
3) Why didn't they win every single seat in the House?

It's almost like they can only tamper with a few ballots at a time without getting caught red-handed and there's more than 300 MILLION people in the US, almost half of which voted, so they can't flip 100% every single vote.

No that's nonsense. If you're going to rig an election, you at least gain enough senate seats to take the senate, and you don't LOSE house seats you gain some. Neither of which would have been a surprise, and both of which could have easily been sold to the public as accurate based on the polling.

Also, he's going to lose Georgia, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Nevada, and Michigan. And in multiple counties for each where it's close. The number of people you'd need in on this conspiracy is insanely high...for so little given they are not also taking senate and house seats in those locations.

And most of these locations are controlled by Republican Governors, legislators, and election officials.

This makes no sense. This isn't what a rigged election looks like. And you know it.

This is the right wing mind distilled: The enemy left are utterly corrupt and omnipotent (cheating anywhere they like at will, even where they don't need it) but completely incompetent and ineffectual at the same time (oops, forgot to steal even one senate seat of those that the polling said favored the Democratic candidate; can steal a presidential race in a state by hundreds of thousands of votes but are too chicken to cheat on a few thousand in a Senate race). The heroic right wing is of course simultaneously an overwhelming majority and an oppressed minority.

No, don't discourage them! This is getting deliciously absurd and I'd like to see how far down the rabbit hole these doofuses will go.

Oh look it's the shit monkey who barely posts here and crawled out of his rock to do a drive by Trolling attempt and throw shit all over the place.

You caught me! Honestly, this place is such a cesspool that I do hardly come here anymore, but I knew it would be a great place to harvest right wing tears. Perhaps the thing I most appreciate is that my innocuous little posts are getting reported to the moderators at a brisk pace. When did the hard core right on this forum turn into a bunch of tattle tales? It is like the incel version of TBP.

Interestingly enough, it's the poor showing by leftists for the House and Senate that's setting off MORE red flags.

It's well known the Never-Trumper movement is miniscule. Thus, it's not logical to see Republicans win while Trump loses. It's even more illogical that the epic Blue Tsunami for Dementia JoJo that eclipsed Holy Obama's vote count somehow didn't sweep leftists into the House and Senate.
 
Moreover, the presence of such an anomaly warrants a review of ballots, especially those where the only vote is for President.

ACB will certainly earn her own "Notorious" moniker after this debacle.

Oh an actual "it's well known" claim.

Bwahahahahaha it's not fucking "well known" at all.

If this election were fixed, this would not have happened:

We're firmly in absurd lunatic sore loser conspiracy theory land right now with you guys. I saw far left loonies do this when W. Bush won on DemocraticUnderground years ago. You guys are making the identical ridiculous arguments that they did back then.

What would that button even do on this forum?

Maybe it's a dinner bell for RPGPundit to unleash some LOLZ?

We don't ban people for being leftist retards. This is a free speech forum. This is not a "right wing" forum. YOU and the rest of the way-too-soon gloating clowns are 1000% welcome to post here as much as you want.

And lurkers, please cause some crosss-forum drama with Tangency. Maybe some tasty Twitter screeds since you can't meme. Make sure you babble out some great quotes and maybe RPGPundit will make you "famous" on his podcast.

Pew Research - Trump had 87% approval among Republicans in August 2020

Also, you're proving my point about the anomaly. How is Biden both the MOST POPULAR candidate for President in history yet unable to win down ticket races for his party?

Greetings!

No "Right Wing Tears" necessary. I just ordered a new woodsman's tomahawk, 1,000 rounds of ammunition for my AR-15, and another 500 rounds for my Glock 45. I'm content up in the high mountains and forests here, where people are sane, god-fearing, and patriots that love *Traditional* America.

All the cock-sucking, blue-haired, pierced, tatted up gender-fluid Marxist fucks can dance a jig and choke on shit.

Semper Fidelis,

The heroic right wing is of course simultaneously an overwhelming majority and an oppressed minority.

If I am the "rrrite wing mind distilled" then the so-called "Right" has a fucking problem cuz the only "rrrite wing" issue I agree with them (at least in the US, cuz these bullshit "Left/Right" wing terms are so consistent and objectively defined they vary from country to country) is the 2nd amendment. I don't give a shit about the unborn (or most of the born for that matter), I've been a left-anarchist most my life (till around 6 years ago when identitarian woke politics kicked into full gear), and while I no longer consider myself a "socialist" I still tend to think that Craptitalism is shit and I don't give a shit about the rights of the corporations. In fact, I think that most of the problems we're facing these days--including the topic we're discussing right now, its largely due to how much power corporations (specially "big tech" and corporate media) have in the US and the world over.

I'm not even sure when I claimed that the so-called "Left" is omnipotent or that the whateverthefuck "right" is supposed to mean these days is an "oppressed minority", but I'll let you defend those claims, since I never made them. And the so-called (WTF is) "right wing" is an "overwhelming" majority? LOL, I guess we'd have to define WFT you does "rrrite wing" means to unpack that one, but...whatever dude, LOL

Good to know your a Normie as well as a trolling disingenuous shit monkey.

I did not report your post as you would consider it a badge of honor.

Time to follow my own advice and not feed the troll.

It's funny why he assumed automatically that his posts would be reported. It's such transparent, obvious pathetic attempt at Trolling that I saw it two galaxies away. Despite that he can post. Let him shit post it's not like he adds any value to the forum.

Dude, no one likes backstabbing copperheads.  NeverTrump was despised long before election night

You should hope that establishment GOP took notes on how to rig primaries from Dems, because the rank-and-file is solidly behind Trumpism and won’t turn out for 1990-2016 globalist GOP crap. 

I sincerely hope the Republican Party is simply abandoned for a new alternative that doesn’t carry copperhead baggage.

You need an independent electoral commission like we have in Oz, Jeff. It should be run by people who genuinely do not give a shit either way.
