There is nothing in this world I would love more than to be wrong about this, that's for sure.

He doesn’t intend to win this election by votes and his plan doesn’t need votes in the future.

Johnson will refuse to certify the results of the election that put Democrats in the House, claiming some kind of bullshit irregularities with no proof, leaving the House controlled by the Republicans. They’ll then claim irregularities in the presidential election and force a contingent election where they have a 100% chance of electing Trump no matter what the public votes. The worse that Dipshit Don loses, the stronger his argument about the vote being stolen will be, and the more his ravenous shitheel base will eat it up.

More people need to be made aware that this is 100% legal for them to do, and more people need to be aware that it is almost certainly what they will try. The only thing that can possibly stop it is significant awareness by the mass population of Americans and significant publicity (similar to how mass awareness of Project 2025 turned it into a poison pill).

EDIT: Oh look, they've already started making it super-legal in battleground states: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/aug/06/georgia-local-election-boards-allowed-withhold-vote-certification

He's saying exactly what he means. He doesn't intend to win this election by votes and won't need votes in the future no matter what happens.

It doesn't matter what Trump says or does at this point, him getting the votes isn't the plan.

Johnson will refuse to certify the results of the election that will put Democrats in the House, claiming some kind of bullshit irregularities with no proof, leaving the House controlled by the Republicans. They’ll then claim irregularities in the presidential election and force a contingent election where they have a 100% chance of electing Trump no matter what the public votes.

As one of the other posters mentioned (@Jordan117@lemmy.world) , it's exactly this. Johnson will refuse to certify the results of the election that put Democrats in the House, claiming some kind of bullshit irregularities with no proof, leaving the House controlled by facists. They'll then claim irregularities in the presidential election and force a contingent election where they have a 100% chance of electing Trump no matter what the public votes.

You've typed what amounts to a small novel in this thread, yet absolutely none of what you've typed is researched, clearly articulated, or supports your position. I get that you think you're a very smart person, but everything you've typed so far makes it sound like you're a toddler with a thesaurus. Why don't you go re-read this entire thread and if you feel like you can actually answer any of the questions people are asking, go ahead. If not, just stop talking, you're the only person who thinks you're saying something of intelligence and value here.

ADB Explorer is really just a wrapper for adb-pull, you can use that manually on Linux but without the GUI it's true it's not quite as seamless.

IDK, have you tried to copy files over USB-C/USB 3.0 to a phone? I similarly thought it was going to be much faster than it actually is, but it's still mind bogglingly slow using MTP -- especially with file creation operations. Want to move 5,000 small text files totalling 20MB? You'll be there for 8 hours, haha.

In my experience ADB is significantly faster than a cable (even USB-C+3.0), even when ADB is connected wirelessly. I typically get 20MBps-40MBps using ADB regardless of whether I'm writing large files or a bunch of small files, where at best I will (and a cursory google search sems to indicate most people will) see 8MBps-10MBps over the cable for large files, and when I'm copying small files (e.g., game roms for ScummVM or something), I will get maybe 1Mbps at the top end. Results are consistent between computers I use to copy, cables I use to copy, and phones I've copied data to.

I'm honestly surprised that in 2024 copying data to a brand new flagship phone using a USB cable is as poor of an experience as it is.

In Android just selectively enable wireless ADB debugging and then use ADB Explorer. Easier than plugging the phone in, wireless, and allows access to all folders on the device (including /Android/data/* which is blocked from being accessed using on-device file explorers). Turn it off when you're done. Boom, wireless data transfer to and from an Android device at way faster than cabled SMB speeds.

Repeat after me:

Polls are bullshit. Polls have always been bullshit. Polls only real impact is to allow people to manipulate statistics to lull voters in a false sense of confidence or security in order to stop them from voting.

Ignore the polls, especially the polls that say your side is winning or the other side is losing. Polls are a very, very effective way to convince voters to stay home without ever asking them or telling them to stay home.

Nice strawman you've constructed there but the joke's on you, there isn't a single Democrat who thinks Biden is "great" -- we all just think he's not as much of a piece of absolute human shit that Trump is.

[–] n1ck_n4m3@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

Everything that's been tried up to the extreme has had no effect, so, it's time to escalate. You can't beat cheaters and liars and thieves and murderers by playing by the rules and being nice and polite. If the Democrats don't do something, democracy is gone in November and it won't be coming back to the USA.
