This is so wrong
The reason “Trump didn’t steal the elections” is because we & the pro-voter coalition stopped him EIGHT times over the past 21 months
Here’s how: a thread (1/x)

I just heard someone use the term "competence kink" when referring to why women are swooning over Jon Ossoff and Abdul El-Sayed. I hsve to say that's totally it. We're so damn sick of little boys who think dominating a woman makes you a man. It doesn't. It just makes you an asshołe.
Spock is right.
Read the entire thread:

Employee: “You said my position was eliminated.”
HR: “It was.”
Employee: “Then why does the agreement say I resigned?”
HR: “That’s the language our attorneys use for these agreements.”
Employee: “But I didn’t resign.”
HR: “The company is offering you $50,000 in severance in exchange for signing the agreement.”
Employee: “I understand.”
HR: “You don’t have to sign.”
Employee: “I know.”
He turned another page.
Employee: “What happens if I don’t?”
HR: “You won’t receive the additional severance.”
Employee: “And the agreement says I’m leaving voluntarily.”
HR: “That’s one of the terms.”
Employee: “Why?”
HR: “Because we’re trying to reach a clean separation.”
Employee: “You eliminated my position.”
HR: “Correct.”
Employee: “So why can’t the agreement say that?”
The HR manager paused.
HR: “Because that’s not how the agreement was drafted.”
Employee: “Who drafted it?”
HR: “Our attorneys.”
He looked down at the document again.
Employee: “Does this wording affect my unemployment claim?”

Listen up, @TheDemocrats: NO MERCY.
On day one, you start turning the screws. I better not see Chuck Schumer wearing his stupid little glasses and reading a strongly worded letter a single time.
This is vendetta time. I want you to make it hurt.

Someone told me to "vote according to Biblical values!"
So I voted for welcoming immigrants, helping the poor, feeding the hungry, bringing healthcare to the sick, forgiving debts, caring for our planet, laying down our swords, and loving all our neighbors.

This election is already seismic.
In exit polls, voters are ranking CORRUPTION as their top issue.
That’s never happened since polling began in the 1930s.

There's a saying on American social media:
"Be the American that Japanese people think you are."
I'm Japanese. I've lived in Tokyo my whole life.
So let me tell you what we actually say about you, when you're not in the room.
"When someone falls down on the street, we pretend not to see. We're protecting their pride. Americans run straight at them. They don't care about the pride. They care about the knee." (Office worker, 38)
"An American will stop four lanes of traffic for a family of ducks. And then everyone in the cars claps for the ducks." (Taxi driver, 61)
"If you lend an American a pen, you will never see it again. If you need a kidney, they'll ask your blood type." (Nurse, 45)
"At kids' soccer games, they cheer when the other team's kid scores. The other team's parents look confused. Then they cheer too." (Youth soccer coach, 52, lived one year in Ohio)
"A man sneezed on a bus in Chicago. Eleven strangers said 'Bless you.' He said 'thank you' eleven times. Nobody on that bus thought this was strange." (University student, 21)
"At an airport in Texas, I watched a soldier try to pay for his lunch. The cashier said someone already had. He asked who. She said, 'Somebody who didn't want you to know.'" (Retired teacher, 70)
"American fathers cannot braid hair. But they will watch a video at midnight for an hour so their daughter's hair looks right on picture day." (Hair stylist, 33)
"I ran the Chicago Marathon once. Strangers stood in the cold for hours holding signs for people they will never meet. At mile 20, a man I'd never seen read the name off my bib and screamed it like he'd raised me." (Runner, 48)
"When Americans get lost, they ask a stranger. If the stranger is also lost, they become a team." (Tour guide, 39)
"They ask the waitress her name. And then they remember it." (Restaurant owner, 66)
And one more. From my father. He's 76. He doesn't say much about anything. This is the longest thing I have ever heard him say about another country.
"Every time something terrible happens in America, I watch the news, and I look for one thing.
The people running toward it.
There are always so many."
So, America.
You don't have to become the Americans we think you are.
We're not imagining you.
We're remembering you.
