Well if we know anything about the GOP, that baseless accusation means they're actively trying to steal the California Primaries

To be fair to the media, in 2020 and afterwards, they called it for what it was, consistently. The real media anyway idk about the rw rags and blowhard publications.

This is and has always been a tactic to attempt to discredit any election results he doesn't like. The thing is, he now knows that it works on a significant portion of the US population.

Of course he does. Every accusation is a projection.

There's proof all up in, on top, and outside of the bowl of pudding that this pedophile steals a lot of things. Women's dignity, children's innocence, American tax payers livelihoods, etc. etc. etc.

Huh? Democrats are trying to steal their own primary?

California has an open primary for governor. The two top vote getters will be the candidates for governor in November, regardless of party affiliation. It's technically possible to have two Republicans or Democrats as the only candidates in the general election.

They have a republican billionaire prick or something in the running this year. I think he made the ballot too.

That's actually multifaceted, like oil spill on a puddle:

Yes, he knows he's lying, but he also somehow believes it. if he doesn't win, the other side cheated. And if he loses his father's cruel ghost will rise and tell him that it's his fault he let the baddies do that to him.

It's also not about the democratic process for him, he sees it more like a hostile takeover. I don't think he even understands democracy.

I mean.. I wouldn't mind a mulligan in most of the races so far.

That is not how elections work.
