Listen if it’s true, but the democrats are not willing to fight the results, then i don’t care. At that point the cheated election becomes legitimate. And Democratic leaders are on their non intervention kick, probably either because they are complicit, or want to really rub it in to the disenfranchised voters that It voters the blue no matter who, or else it gets the tyrant again.

There isn't a mechanism to recall the president over votes, and technically we didn't vote for anyone. The electoral college did that.

So for better or worse we are stuck with the current situation until their terms are up and are forced from office, or more direct action is taken.

What I hope happens is that steps are taken to prevent that in the future. As it benefits the party in power, it likely won't be fixed anytime soon.

Can't you guys do people power? Like what the Philippines did to oust the last dictator?

Sort of, but that requires our congress to get involved. Which currently mostly have a vested interest in not changing anything.

And were probably complicit in being installed by this regime. They will do nothing and allow this to continue because if they keep pulling this off, they can never be voted out.

Edit fuck you autocorrect, were is a word.
