Repubs have only won the popular vote for pres exactly one time in the last 3 decades... why do you think dems need to cheat? They just need turnout. "Silent majority" . Repubs turn out at much higher rates than dems, and they still lost by millions of votes. You are part of the loud minority.
Cool, I’m still listed as a democrat and I haven’t ever said anything about anyone cheating.

All you did was state your opinion on the EC, millions disagree with you. That was your opinion, not a fact.

I think you spend too much time reading the Political board on here. I don’t know a single person who’s said it will be fraud, at least irl. I see that on here mostly and that’s about it. I also don’t watch Fox News, so I don’t know. Going by my inner circle and social media I just simply don’t know that to be true. If he loses, then sounds like we will find out how it goes.
ETA: I take that back, I do occasionally watch Tucker

Mostly a warning to these folks that they should probably take a step back and reevaluate their ideals if they have to make a multi-pronged argument for why the minority should rule over the majority. Such systems tend to not work out in the long run.

"This is a republic, not a democracy".
"These people have all this land, their votes should count for more"
"The majority should be referred to as a mob, and mobs shouldn't rule".
If you don't subscribe to these anti-democratic principles, then forgive me for the assumption.

I haven’t paid attention to what Trump has said about it and I’m speaking of people I personally know. If he thinks that then that’s his problem, personally, iirc, late mail in ballots went his way in 2016 anyways. But I haven’t paid any attention to all the mail in ballot, fraud, or whatever type stuff, not my cup of tea.

He has been asked on numerous occasions over the last few months in interviews and in the debate if he will peacefully transfer power should he lose, and not a single time has he said that he would.

The mail in ballots and all the talk of election fraud has been a HUGE topic for months. It's all over the poli board, and you post there on occasion. You even posted in debate threads, so I imagine you watched at least some of it. I find it hard to believe that you have no idea that he's been priming his cult to cry foul should he lose.

He also had access to medicines and treatments that you and I wouldn’t have. These treatments were done extremely early on. Do y’all not remember that the prescription back in May was if you have covid NOT to go to the hospital (unless a vent is needed) because you’d get others sick?

this entire thread is just sad.
it is so unhealthy to
a) worship a president
b) meltdown into a puddle of raging anger at the mere mention of his name.
both are happening in this thread.
Absolutely ZERO attempt to come together and listen to people you disagree with have to say.
mmmbeeer, I just looked you up on twitter. you don't follow ANYONE who might challenge your priors. your entire twitter feed is retweets of msnbc legal analysts and liberal activists.
yet you portray yourself on here as some sort of intellectually curious person. you are a hack. Don't lie about yourself.

Trump is preemptively claiming fraud months in advance in case he loses. Do you not see the difference? Do you not see that he has been priming his cult with chants of "fake news" and accusations of election cheating for years? Do you not see how hard he's pushing the mail-in ballot narrative? Did you not hear him tell his cult to "stand by", and to guard the polls? Do you not see that, for example, many on the poli board here are absolutely convinced that the only way that Trump can lose is via fraud?
Why won't he say that he will concede and transfer power should he lose? Does that not give you pause? Do you not see that there are posses of armed vigilantes all around the country itching to pop shite off? Do you not see that he has been casting doubt over the entire process for years? Are you paying attention at all?

Here's what will happen if trump loses. He will probably make dumb complaints on twitter (depending on how close the election is). But he will leave. it isn't even his choice to make. If he refuses to leave, he will be escorted out by the secret service as an unauthorized presence.
as for the mail in voting stuff, I am not worried about fraud so much as I am worried about states not having adequate infrastructure and voters sending it in incorrectly, thus nullifying their right to vote, essentially. What happened in the ny primary earlier this year was a tragedy. Tens of thousands of ballots didn't count.
by the way, you are lying about stacey abrams and hillary. yes, they conceded, but it was a mere formality. they have spent the last 2-3 years absolutely undermining the legitimacy of elections.
Hillary LAST MONTH said that biden shouldn't concede UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!
I mean, this is basic google search stuff dude. this is daily beast article on abrams:
quote:
Former Democratic Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams on Sunday refused to describe her Republican opponent Brian Kemp as the legitimate new governor. In an interview on CNN’s State of the Union, Abrams suggested voter suppression played a role in the state’s gubernatorial election

Many of them are absolutely brainwashed. I know people personally who believe that Trump is literally an angel of god. They think that their political beliefs are backed by the bible, so that they cannot be wrong. They think that democrats are literally agents of satan. I'm not making this up. And there are millions of these people in this country.
