Why so many people believe the election was rigged

[BugI02]

Fox News, for instance, is among the sources in this study trusted by the largest percentage of Americans, with 43% of U.S. adults saying they trust it for political news. But it is also among the sources with the largest portion who distrust it – 40% of Americans express this view. Since that’s the case, we classified Fox News as “about equally trusted and distrusted.”

See, fair AND balanced

The NYT Doesn't Care If You Know Big Tech Rigged Biden's Election

There’s a whole lot of rats under this rug. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to help your neighbors see them scurrying.

Why would they care now? Time magazine printed a detailed article about the “conspiracy theory” of how big tech came together to rescue the American people from themselves. No one cared.

There are a hell of a lot of people around who believe they can simply ignore consequences and they will disappear. The puppets working so hard to make that fantasy seem real are running out of gas. It’s gonna hurt.

The difficulty with all of this is that once you acknowledge the problem, somebody will ask how to correct it. Machine politics which generates cash for the connected in just about any large city will not tolerate that loss of control.

What happens when people lose faith in the election process, by people I mean those that aren't getting the benefits from the machine? They might see the legal system and courts as the first place to go, but that's choked off partially by corruption and mostly by the desire to keep each election from having to go through court scrutiny and investigations before an outcome is declared.

At the end of the day, short of a revolution, big money will make the call, so if you want to know where things are going,

always follow the money

It terrifies them when someone who meets their definition of important decides not to be a lying piece of **** and actually stands up for what is right.

The same people that are telling me what Hunter Biden did doesn't matter, because he doesn't hold a government office, are having a problems with a private citizen expressing her opinion, to a representative of her government, exactly why now?

What Hunter Biden did was wrong because what he did was sell the influence of his father, and it’s kinda looking like dad knew what was up and was profiting from that too. WHILE IN OFFICE.

 

[BugI02]

Uhhh, did you flash on the idea that I was criticizing the hypocrisy of excusing what Hunter did on one hand, because he is ostensibly a private citizen, while vociferously criticizing what Ginni Thomas did with no consideration that fact that she is also, by the same light, a private citizen?

I think they're even counting on public contempt at this point.

New work by John Lott

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2022/03/28/new_peer-reviewed_research_finds_evidence_of_2020_voter_fraud_147378.html

New research of mine is forthcoming in the peer-reviewed economics journal Public Choice, and it finds evidence of around 255,000 excess votes (possibly as many as 368,000) for Joe Biden in six swing states where Donald Trump lodged accusations of fraud. Biden only carried these states – Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin – by a total of 313,253 votes. Excluding Michigan, the gap was 159,065.

Courts have rejected challenges to the 2020 presidential vote, generally citing the lack of evidence that any alleged fraud would have altered the outcome in a particular state. The Republican plaintiffs argued that since their observers couldn’t watch the vote counts or were prevented from seeing other evidence, they couldn’t provide such proof without investigations backed by subpoena power. Still, while some judges have agreed that irregularities occurred in 2020, they weren’t willing to grant discovery in the absence of evidence that fraud could reverse the election results. Republicans thus faced a Catch-22 situation.

I wasn’t trying to correct you. Was just commenting.

Probably the ‘prove it was not rigged’ is not a good argument but given Time’s article touting “the cabal” it seems rather obvious they’ve admitted to rigging the election.
