Why Do the Election’s Defenders Require My Agreement?

The 2020 election came down to a narrower margin than the 2016 contest: fewer than 43,000 rather than 77,000 votes in just three states. In 2016, nothing fishy in Michigan, Pennsylvania, or Wisconsin—the states on which 2016 turned—was detected. Certainly nothing like:

Counting shutdowns in five states, in which one candidate was ahead, only to lose after the counting resumed; “Found” tranches of ballots going overwhelmingly—sometimes exclusively—to one candidate, the eventual “winner”; Sworn affidavits alleging the backdating of ballots; Historically low rejection rates—as in, orders of magnitude lower—of mail-in ballots, suggesting that many obviously invalid ballots were accepted as genuine; Mail-in and absentee ballots appearing without creases, raising the question of how they got into the envelopes required for their being mailed in; Thousands upon thousands of ballots all marked for one presidential candidate without a single choice marked for any down-ballot candidate. The absolute refusal to conduct signature audits—indeed, the discarding of many envelopes which alone make such audits possible—i.e., of the kind of recounts which are performed not merely to get the math right but to evaluate the validity of ballots; Other statistical and historical anomalies too numerous to mention here.

Yes but it was all totally on the level. I know because all the Dems tell me so.

...he might try using his platform to call for, and get, serious local, state, and federal investigations of all of the above anomalies and others not mentioned. Those investigations would then have to be reported fairly and credibly by a media that actually wants to disseminate the truth and not cover for state and local corruption or for the Biden Administration.

With our current media? There is no way that would happen. Fox (maybe), OANN, and Newsmax could report that, but the drive-bys will totally ignore it.

We are currently in the phoney war. i.e. the swearing in of Biden was not the end. It was the beginning.

Thanks that's a good way to think of it.

Yes. Sanction of the victim. It’s not enough to hush up about the 2020 election. It’s not enough to say nothing about January 6, or to ask no questions about the circumstances of the death of Ashli Babbitt.
You have to make affirmations so you won’t have any grounds to question, resist, or change anything.
Now bend over, China want to do a swab.

Nicely done!

What a cult! This gentleman isn't sure if the election was on the up-and-up, but he's also not sure if there was fraud. But that's not enough. We must all believe the election was Perfect-A-Mundo!

What a cult! Stand still, laddie!

PING!

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Big deal. Madame Chuck-A-Rama of Georgia wouldn’t concede either, but you didn’t see a push from our side for such conformity.

Whenever I hear anyone use the term “our democracy” I take it like the author does - this is a leftist claiming ownership of the power of the government, mistakenly labeled as a democracy. Good way to spot enemies.

Cult Programming 101.

[HartleyMBaldwin]

Exactly my point. Conservatives do not require that sort of validation.

The ego of the left requires the national acquiescence to all their lies as proof of their power

[firebrand]

No, books are not that dopey. They don’t keep harping on the fact that are neutral—get that? neutral—no matter how much someone is annoyed with that.

You could use the facts yourself, Michael, or just use common sense. What a phony piece, designed to defend against both sides and keep its socks clean.

If the Borg Queen actually existed she would be a Leftist DEMONCRAT using the name Nancy Pelosi.
