- BrianOnHN 6y ago> wrongthink What is this, the new "fake news" battle cry of the degenerates? I realize software devs make for an interesting, and even intellectual sort of degenerate, but still degenerate.
- danaris 6y agoWhen the "procedure" involved is the certification of votes for the new President, then yeah, that's an attempted coup. And something doesn't have to have a snowball's chance in hell of succeeding at its illegal and seditious aims to remain illegal and seditious.
- ThomPete 6y agoAn attempted coup would be to actually attempt at a coup with plans on how to seize power and hold it and ensure you had enough military power to hold down the fort. To interfere with a procedure they didn't have any chance of interfering with isn't a coup no matter how much you would like to stretch the definition.
