Personally I think it is far more likely that Democrats were hurt by this election than not. I base that solely on the fact that absentee and mail in ballots have a much higher chance historically of being rejected.

Because that is not proof, by definition. Anyone who says that is proof is a moron.
And the tampering with the postal service, restricting access to polling stations etc. But no, it has to be a democrat rigged election because Trump didn’t win right…
I’m legitimately infuriated that both Trump and a large portion of his voter base refuse to admit defeat after an abundantly clear loss. I would’ve accepted the outcome, albeit with dispair had Trump won.
Meanwhile I have family members talking shit about large numbers of dead people casting mail in ballots

The way things are looking right now, Trump would still accuse them of cheating if Biden won by a landslide. To me it’s like the boy who cried wolf (the Trump who cried cheater?). Let them come up with some solid evidence and then they can talk, they sound like a bunch of crying babies in suits.

The aim is to file as many lawsuits under pathetic pretenses as humanely possible with the hope that one sticks. This creates uncertainty, as many wont be aware it was one lawsuit that stuck within a conservative majority Supreme Court out of dozens, if not hundreds. As a result Trump supporters will contest/doubt electoral results and the divide will deepen.
I have no problem with Republicans, though many of my harboured ideologies/fundamentals don’t align with core republican values. Who I do have a problem with is Donald J Trump. That narcissistic, manipulative, pathetic excuse of a politician…
Hell, had I been of voting age at the time I would’ve voted republican in the 2016 election IF the republican candidate was anyone other than Donald Trump as a vote against Hillary Clinton. I don’t believe Hillary had the countries best interests at heart, prior scandals particularly in relation to Clinton founded charities had me questioning her character (not the emails shit).
Trump won’t do that if he has to pay for it.

But would he really be a politician without those traits?

Yes, politics aren’t clean. But not all politicians legitimately showcase such an abundant display of narcissistic personality disorder.
He lives in his own alternate reality, a universe where factually correct information doesn’t matter and everything revolves around Donald Trump.
I recall the federal raids/seizures on ventilators, masks etc in democrat run stages during the beginning of covid-19. As if to say “this state doesn’t deserve assistance or access to adequate medical treatment because they don’t support me”… absolutely shocking

To be fair Republicans didn’t just have a problem with mail in ballots. They were suing to stop Dems from in person voting as well. Just because a lot of people were voting in a Dem area.
They going to be looking at the vote in areas that came in for Trump? Of course not.

It’s a reality show where they make decisions that affect real life. Something out of the Twilight Zone.
Well of course. Donald Trump is always right. He’s a “super genius” and the “perfect physical specimen”. If you agree with Trump, no fact checking or anti corruption measures need to be taken into account because Trump is always right
I ought to take back my comments about narcissism. He also at times has the demeanour of someone who has been taking way too much adderal. Perhaps a nose dissolving quantity of cocaine throughout his younger years has had a permenant impact on his personality. Jokes aside, the guy is narcissistic as fuck.

That’s what I was saying though, if you are so sure the Dems cheated then what makes you think the GOP didn’t? Maybe the Dems are just better at cheating? If you know your opponent is cheating then either catch them in the act or cheat yourself, waiting until you lose and throwing a fit is just foolish.

People were voting from democratic areas and the result garnered was an increase in democratic votes… coincidence? I think not
Screams voter fraud to me

Honestly, I think there is nothing to even talk about right now with this election. Allegations have been made, unless there is some proof then just ignore them.

Correct. Put up or shut up.

I haven’t accepted it or not accepted it yet, because it’s not over yet. When the recounts are done, and if he lost, I’ll accept it.
Do you believe there were only 4 cases of fraud in the 2016 election or were only 4 people prosecuted for it?
I think we are getting a little too skewed here. To suggest a scheme where keys states were targeted by the democrats via mail in voter fraud without evidence vs there is no impropriety in mail in voting or the national election whatsoever, is equally stupid. People cheat, steal and lie about everything in life. Let’s not pretend an election was stolen without proof, but let’s also not believe only angels are overseeing the votes.
I tried to ignore him long before he was president.
This is actually exactly what I think. We are all over the place, completely sporadic. The question is whether that is due to polarization or not.
I agree with the headline, but… what the fuck?? Cotton and Hawley are 100% not strongmen wannabes. Shit, Tucker Carlson and Rogan are nowhere near that.
The Atlantic remains an enigma. Alternately some of the most insightful reporting and the most absolute idiocy I’ve ever seen in a major source.
Yep. If I remember correctly though, it was actually a thing in places like Chicago under Mayor Daley. So as with most things there is a definite element of truth. But not on the scale of millions, not by a long shot.
I’m good with this. I mean, I disagree (counting “Impropriety” as something on an impactful scale with this election), but absolutely that is WAY more reasonable than what Trump has been saying. Just like Dan Crenshaw’s tweet on the matter was reasonable.

Poor wording i guess. How about jigger-pokery? Flim flammery? Well, you know what i was getting at.
Not sure who this guy is but a quick Google states he was convicted of corruption? But voter fraud has been acted on by American law enforcement:
