Opinion | Study confirms what many suspected: the 2024 election was rigged
Written by Thom Hartmann, July 10, 2026
"It sure looks like #TechBillionaires and foreign #dictatorships gave us Trump in 2024. This is as bad as the massive #RussianBot presence on #Facebook and #Twitter back in 2016, which Robert Mueller documented gave Trump the presidency that time.
"A peer-reviewed study released Thursday in Nature, the world’s most prestigious scientific journal, has finally put hard numbers to what a lot of us suspected the moment the 2024 election was called for Trump (and Republicans in Congress) by the big networks: the algorithms that control our largest #SocialMedia platforms intentionally and explicitly tilted the playing field, and they tilted it for Donald #Trump and the #GOP.
"Researchers at New York University Abu Dhabi created hundreds of 'sock puppet' #TikTok accounts in New York, Texas, and Georgia (via VPN), uploaded to them either pro-Democratic or pro-Republican videos to show their political leanings, and then watched what TikTok’s algorithm fed back to them every day over the 27 weeks leading up to #ElectionDay.
"Across more than 280,000 recommendations, Republican-seeded accounts received about 11.5 percent more 'party-aligned content' than their Democratic counterparts, while the pro-Democratic accounts were force-fed 7.5 percent more attacks from the other side. As Professor Talal Rahwan put it:
'The algorithm wasn’t just giving people what they want; it was giving one side more of what the other side says about them.'"The pro-#rightwing bias was even more dramatic when researchers looked at how the candidates’ own accounts did. Candidate Trump’s official TikTok videos were pushed to Democratic-leaning users 27 percent of the time, while #KamalaHarris’s videos only reached Republican-leaning users just 15.3 percent of the time.
"Translation: Leading up to the 2024 election, TikTok was working overtime to expose Democrats and lefties to MAGA’s most persuasive messaging, all while shielding rightwingers, independents, and Republican voters from Harris’s voice."

Actual #democracy is about voting on issues, not voting on people.
Western "democracy" is about voting on people, not voting on issues.
From that perspective, westerners deem #socialist states as #authoritarian #dictatorships.
All while citizens of those states have 10 times more power than any western citizen.
Are you waking up yet?

How do the machinery of war and political violence relate to the production of power relations and subjectivity that we generally refer to as #authoritarianism?
This question is the staring point for the workshop promoted by #STEXEU on 10 March, with Charalambos Minasidis and Fernando Jiménez Herrera.
