Now THAT'S a goddam familiar song, ain't it? Ain't it a shame when the people finally have enough of some shitbag running a country for his own gain?
H'mm....
Oh look, another power-hungry piece of shit claiming an election was rigged.
Its so pathetic. All these cunts are the same. Real politicians just concede with grace.
They're all sharing the same fascist playbook.
He wont concede because he'll be dragged into court.
Its why the military leadership saw through his "attack Iran" ploy because they want Americans to die doing that. Not Israelis.
Common fucking theme, isn't it!
It must be catching
They're all in it together, that's why
There's no class solidarity like .01%er solidarity
A global fash cartel.
A nationalist international.
Like herpes.
Yeah except all herpes does is make you look bad and hurt wo- oh yeah, you're right.
Fascists always seem to be sore losers.
It usually leads to a gruesome death, if were lucky.
Half my tax dollars go to this asshole and he can't even rig his own election. Pathetic.
Who the fuck let all these weak bully shitpiles get in positions of power anyway? Oh yeah, all the amoral rich ghoulish shitpiles who needed puppets.
No bro, nobody stole anything from you. You just lost. Now vanish. We hate you.
Not vanish imo, accept justice, at least for the crimes he is on trial for.
Vanishing can take on various forms. Vaporization could be one example.
Firing squad is another.
Not vanish imo
Slowly peeled like a grape?
Who the fuck let all these weak bully shitpiles get in positions of power anyway?
Religious people. It is the through-line in all these modern fascist rises.
I'm shocked the vote isn't going his way. I expected him to cheat.
I expected him to cheat.
I'm wondering if thats why he's shocked that he did cheat but still got blown out in the election results.
Sort of a Trump loss in 2020 situation.
he cheated in 2024 as well
and he’s for sure breaking the law now by at the very least bribing voters with a 5000.00 lie
he cheated in 2024 as well
Yeah, but it worked that time.
At some point, I gotta wonder if they’re claiming it was stolen because they did cheat while their efforts did not work. The logical conclusion for such a person could be: someone must have cheated harder.

I'm sure this administration is printing his visa and fueling his escape jet as we speak.
Hey, I think I've seen this one!
Ah, the old trump playbook!
They're right. It was stolen by the voter's votes. This is how democracy works asshole.
The antisemite was kicked out! The people were probably mad at him for all the terrorist attacks against Jewish people he inspired and allowed to happen. After all, he told the troops at the border to stop patrolling on the morning of October 7. And he's responsible for the political climate that lead to Bondi Beach!
Don't forget the money he gave hamas
I hear the runner up candidates are pretty much on the same page as him about genocide. I wouldn't expect great changes from this election.
So the people in charge of the elections allowed the election to be stolen from them?
Yeah, that checks out. /s
Unfortunately his opposition is no better.
They are better, just not good. Its likely they will have to compromise with the Arab parties to form a majority as well, which will force some concessions.
The opposition is very broad, but the right wing of the coalition (which is the dominant faction and the one supplying the prospective PM) is barely distinguishable from the Netanyahu platform of genocide, genocide and more genocide. Eisenkot won't even take a public position on West Bank settlements, so I very much doubt he'd agree to make the kind of concessions that would get Arabs to govern with him, first because he's a fascist Zionist and second because his coalition would fall apart if he did. It's much more likely for rogue rightwing parties to leave the opposition and enter the Netanyahu bloc to give them a majority.
So, I guess trump finally was able to give bibi some advice instead of just doing what he's told.
To clarify the title: the parties in his coalition didn't get majority but this time around gained 80k more votes than in 2022 apparently. His party still got most seats among all parties
