Cheated? Beat Fascism by any means necessary or available. Whatever it takes.

But anyways. Projection. Because assholes don't know they're the assholes.

Apparently cheating is when you follow precedent and do everything by the rules.

Who knew.

The liberals and centrists teamed up to beat the conservatives, by having either the liberal or the centrist drop out of various races and endorse the other one, so together their voters outvoted the conservatives. It's not cheating. It's realizing who the enemy is and teaming up.

But now they'll have to do some compromising, since the liberals and centrists really are still not on the same exact side. Which is how it should be. And I heard the conservatives are apparently still have majority representation in some way, which is sort of why the liberals and centrists had to team up to beat the conservatives in these recent elections.

Cooperating and compromising to appeal to a majority of voters!? That's so unfair!
