Like.. did you read the article? Gloating about how all of America's labor and corporate leaders came together to save democracy? Such a conspiracy that citizens from opposing camps were so concerned about Trumps unfounded election lies that they opposed them uniformly.


Not sure if you are sarcastic or not, but unifying labor and business interests has been the (successful) strategy of the Democratic Party for 30 years. Bill Clinton was the trailblazer of the strategy, and maligned for it from the more anti-business left.

According to the article, the desired outcome of the election was a free and fair election. Not a particularly terrifying conspiracy.


> A large group of the country's richest and most powerful people colluded to change voting rules all across the country for the purpose of achieving a specific desired outcome in an election.

I thought you were talking about gerrymandering.


Like redrawing electoral districts, no one changes election laws because they are a good person. Everyone who redraws electoral districts and changes election laws claims it's because they are a good person.


Ah yes the ole regime change by way of getting more people to vote and making it easier to vote. Very sneaky tactic. Very undemocratic and nefarious. Very scary.
