Popular Post Thomas J Posted November 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 19, 2020 (edited) Joe Biden was and is hardly an inspirational or awe inspiring candidate. He also hid in the basement of his home for a good deal of the campaign. Yet despite those facts according to the vote tally he is now approaching 80 million votes more than any other president ever received in history. And you don't find that to be suspicious?

I repeat - most people did not vote FOR Biden, they voted AGAINST 45. 45 generated that much hatred against his horrid policies. It was an election in the middle of what is developing to be the worst pandemic in American history. President Elect Joe Biden intentionally decided to focus on safety and not have any super spreader mass rallies as Mr. Trump did. The democratic party also intentionally focused on safety of voters, encouraging them to vote by mail when that was possible depending on their specific state laws. So except for a state like Ohio where the state counted the mail in votes first and the same day machine ballots later, the states were showing the same machine machine ballots results first which created a false impression that Mr. Trump would win in those states. Later, when all the mostly pro Mr. Biden mailed in votes were counted, the truth was revealed. There was no mass fraud to give the election to President Elect Joe Biden. If anything, it was the opposite, with Mr. Trump intentionally appointing a yes man lackey as postmaster general to intentionally gum up the works at the post office. Also consider the republicans did much better than Mr. Trump in the house and senate. If it was really true that it was a mass conspiracy theory by the democrats, why would they only hurt Mr. Trump while hurting themselves in congress?

What makes me suspicious are people raising doubts about the legality of the election and hinting at a conspiracy so big it boggles the mind that they even entertain the idea. In other words; you're suspicious. 11 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the experience of the past four years, its not at all surprising that 80 million Americans understanding what a serious threat a second Trump term would be to the nation and the constitution. And it’s not as if Trump didn’t understand Biden was going to beat him, it precisely why Trump got himself impeached trying to smear the decent and honest man he knew would beat him. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Lacessit Posted November 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 19, 2020 IMO a Canadian said it best. "When I meet an American, there's a 50% chance the person is a total moron. Terrible odds". The GOP was hijacked by Trump, and then their elected representatives prostituted themselves to stay on his good side, fearing he would affect their re-election chances. The only Republican to come out of Trump's four years with any honor is Mitt Romney. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it is not suspicious unless you are blinded to other possibilities than election fraud. You are tilting at windmills, blindly crossing a bridge to nowhere. The simplest explanation, therefore the most likely, is this: Far more Americans voted AGAINST Trump than voted FOR Biden. The fact that the republican party per se did well, with Trump being the glaring exception, lends this premise credence. The truth is always simpler than convoluted conspiracy theories. Trump has always been his own worst enemy. He made the mistake of believing that most Americans were as morally corrupt and small-minded as he or didn't care that that their president is. He has been proven wrong on a historic scale, as you say. Despite the tragically close results I find this consoling. It seems that the judgment of the majority of Americans have been awakened and will remain intact for another decade at least. All's well that ends well. And the election has most definitely ended. For all patriots determined to reject authoritarianism and tyranny: Standy Up and Stand By. Your country will always need your guidance. 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rigged implies corrupt tampering with the mechanics of the election system (voting machines, ballot counting fraud, voter fraud, etc.). No 2016 wasn't rigged in that way. Neither was 2020. That's a different thing than what was proven about Russia's actions in 2016. Actively trying to help get Mr. Trump elected through fake social media activities, etc.. It's known that they tried to do the former (see rigged above) in 2016 but failed. Edited November 19, 2020 by Jingthing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herfiehandbag Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 3 hours ago, newnative said: Sad so many buy into Trump's lies. But, as I said in a post on another thread, Trump is the ultimate and biggest loser with his mail-in voter fraud lies. Just yesterday a Georgia Republican official said that some 24,000 Republican voters, who had voted in the primary by mail, decided not to vote by mail in the general election, possibly because of Trump strongly urging them not to, and they failed to show up to vote in person on election day. So, 24,000 lost Republican votes. Those voters could have swung the state to Trump. Had Trump wholeheartedly embraced mail-in voting and started vigorously early like the Democrats to get out every single mail-in vote his volunteers could find, instead of waiting until the few hours of election day to get voters to the polls, he might have added enough votes to his totals to carry all of the states he narrowly lost. Nice, for once, that Trump screwed himself rather than America. A slightly disconcerting thought, but in the scenario which you outline Trump could (yet again) have ended up as president yet have lost the popular vote by a significant (5 million or so) number of votes!

Jack Mountain Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 (edited) At least Trump was/is one of the rare POTUS who keeps up a kind of independent way of ruling. Trying as much as possible not to be the poodle of the establishment like Big Money and the Militairy Industrial Complex (MIC). Establishment for whom some former presidents (Wilson and Eisenhower I believe) WARNED in their farewell speech. Wouldn't be surprised if he will say something similar when his time comes to say goodbye. Not really a Trump fan but I respected him for that and by seeing his successor, I pity that he probably will not get the chance to finish the job to drain the Swamp. I not see him run for POTUS in 2004 because the momentum is lost then. Lost Chance. Edited November 19, 2020 by Jack Mountain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
