Is there a formal group? Who is on it? Shall we pick a name?

The Coup Committee

The Anti-Transition League

The Committee to Entrench Trump (CET)

For those not on Twitter, you have Dean Browning here pretending he's a black Trump supporter. Evidently he forgot to switch to his other fake account. Whoops!

Haha.. when your support base is all your fake accounts.

Let's cut them some slack, Trump's crowd has a tough time internet-ing.

They're CLEARLY the honest and non-fraudulent crowd in this.

Maybe it's just me, but maybe these guys shouldnt be resigning at the worst time possible?

I dunno.

Earlier in the year the SCOTUS made a firm unanimous ruling that faithless electors can be removed and that they must vote according the the state popular vote winner. That doesn’t mean the GOP won’t try it but it seems doubtful that it would stand.

Alito specifically pointed out a major concern that a losing party could try to campaign to electors to change votes and cause uncertainty where they shouldn’t be.

Many legal experts felt the ruling was so firm that even if states didn’t have laws in place to prevent faithless electors that they could operate under the assumption that they now do.

I can’t believe all of the people in my Facebook feed and I’m hearing from personally and anecdotally from friends who are Trump supporters. I’ve dropped a few from Facebook and there may be more.

Biden isn’t the perfect president and he may have some sexual misdeeds (I truly don’t know if true) but doesn’t Trump have 26 some allegations of rape or other severe sexual misconduct?

Biden lies, I’m hearing. Trump lies every time he speaks.

Obama achieved nothing. Well, he did, and he wasn’t running.

Biden won’t survive and Harris will be president. She’s a darn sight better that what they have.

Trump will keep the White House. Well, no he won’t.

People I thought were reasonable and intelligent are showing themselves to be racist, misogynistic dolts. I can hardly wait to get the last laugh Jan. 20.

I may be wrong but I think the ruling upheld state laws that provided for this. Apparently only 14 or so states have laws that require that their electors follow the popular vote.

I edited after you responded...my quick reading suggests legal experts feel the ruling was so firm that it would extend to states that do not.

Child molester Biden is something I see a lot of. And when I challenge people on it I get

"Have you seen videos or pictures of him around children, I can tell"

Riiiiiiiiight.

You forgot homophobic! It completes the holy trinity of Trumpism. Anyone who supports him is unequivocally all three. Or so Ive learned from this thread.

Ironic, because this thread is the left wing version of what you just described.

Lmao if you think this site is full of leftists.

There's like, 5 of us.

Trump is such a literal human garbagefire all of the liberals, centrists and a shocking number of conservatives call him out for what he is. Reality is a bitch.

To have such smug confidence at this point is a complete denial of reality. I dont know how one's brain would have to be wired to not be able to admit that there are doubts.

The alternative is they actually have a plan they are executing, and they are smug in the fact they know they will achieve their goals. And that's far more terrifying than them being dumb.

Are you sure? I thought the ruling was that state law had to be followed. It affirmed the states right to force the elector to vote in a certain manner. So if a state has no consequence for a faithless elector then a faithless elector can be faithless. In Michigan where a faithless vote constitutes resignation there can’t be a faithless elector.

WHAT?!


There are people in this thread, that I am in 100% agreement with, and when we go into the Alberta politics thread, are definitely not in agreement. What's going on in this thread has nothing to do with left or right.



Everyone here pretty much agrees, this is a mess, Trump is a terrible person and an even worse leader.

I missed this response before I posted. Do you have a link to an opinion on this. I’ve only seen the speculation that states without laws could have faithless electors
