candidates that provide cover for magats/gop to steal the election. It's possible that Harris won but trump had cover to steal it. Instead of looking at the process and potential fraud or issues, people just assumed the US "wasn't ready."

In 2028, I'd prefer for a candidate where, if they lose, everyone would immediately know the election was stolen. No more games.

We're fighting lawless, dishonest/corrupt thugs, so we have to be able to question outcomes without other factors clouding the issue.
