Hahaha, @FranceskaMann. 🤣😅 V funny!

That's a fine comic assertion of the #BigLie that the #USA is a land of "freedom".

There is of course a simple one-word term for people who aren't parodists like you, but actually believe this lie. They are #racist.

The claim is absurd unless non-white people are excluded from the story. Genocide of natives, 90yrs of legal slavery, 90 years of JimCrow, 70 years of mass imprisonment.. but the clowns still claim mass imprisonment is freedom. #YCMTSU

SEVERAL court cases filed by Trump's lawyers failed to prove voter fraud in the 2020 ​presidential race.

#DNI #TulsiGabbard, who launched an investigation into the #VotingMachines & searched for evidence ⁠to support Trump's false election fraud claims, steps down on Friday. Stepping in as interim director is federal housing regulator #BillPulte. #Trump has said he wants Pulte to investigate “rigged elections” during his time at #ODNI.

Some #WhiteHouse officials have argued the report could undermine voter confidence, particularly among #Republicans. Others have said they do not believe the report goes far enough in supporting Trump’s false claims that the 2020 presidential election was rigged, the sources said. Some #Democrats said privately they ​worried #TulsiGabbard’s probe into #VotingMachines would be used by the admin to push states to use paper ballots.

The report, produced by the #ODNI [oh boy, that’s now #BillPulte], concludes that #VotingMachines could be further safeguarded by, for example, updating their software, the sources said. It does NOT say the vulnerabilities have led to votes flipping, but examines security gaps in how the machines are used during #US #elections.

@pzmyers Murica will we wake up to the fact that Elon Musk is a dangerous, criminal racist around the same time as Murica wakes up to the fact that the USA is a murderous racist empire whose claim to "liberty" is a #BigLie.

In other words, not soon.

@Lana I profoundly disagree Those "ideals" are the figleafs which underpin the doctrines of #manifestDestiny and other supremacist ideolgies.

For example the myth of American "liberty" is a #BigLie which can be sustained only by extreme racism. 90 years of slavery, 90 years of Jim Crow, 70 years of mass imprisonment, redlining, etc. That's not a nation of freedom unless the black experience is ignored or sudelined.

The denialism akso underpins veneration of rhe brutal imperial military.

@Lana I do understand that there are people who believe in #BigLie of American virtue. I do get that some of those people believe that a capital built in the architectural style of a slave-owning empire is some sort of embodiment of virtue, rather than a harsh reminder of the fundamental hypocrisy of a genocidal empire proclaiming itself as a bastion of liberty.

But from our few encounters, I just hadn't figured you as one of the people who had swallowed the flag.

@pre I don't expect anything good from Burnham on electoral reform.

He has said that he supports "supplemental vote" (SV), which is just another name for alternative vote (AV), which was rejected in 2011. Even worse, he describes SV as #ProportionalRepresentation #PR, which is an outright lie. (I see no possibility that he is honestly mistaken on this issue)

I am sick of practitioners of the #BigLie. Burnham has chosen to be a #BigLie man.To hell with him.

@mootpoint What on earth you on about?

Stsrmer is openly corrupt. He is a serial liar, of the #BigLie sort.

Starmer is backed by very very dodgy people, with big money, who implemented a covert to sabotage, deceive, capture and purge the Labour Party.
