Because democrats talked us into how fair elections were. Wait, are you saying that they aren't fair now?

[–] knightly@pawb.social 1 points 5 days ago

America has never had fair elections.

it's not fraud when their side does it.

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 36 points 2 months ago (2 children)

So those respondents are saying when a Democratic president is in power, election results are fair, and when a Republican president is in power, the election results are suspect?

Lemmy definitely thinks that now! lol

They're saying the opposite.

Because trump kept lying about losing in 2020 and an astounding number of low information republican voters believed it, but now that he won, the murmers of fraud have fallen off a cliff. Because trump won this time.

Read closely, he said it correctly, he was talking about who was the sitting president when the election was held.

[–] Shortstack@reddthat.com 5 points 2 months ago

To be fair it could be interpreted both ways, now that you mention how else that could be read.

In that way of reading it, pretty damning about faith in one party vs another

Except you just corroborated his claim

[–] Shortstack@reddthat.com 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Our elections have been fairly held, in 2016, 2020, and this year too.

If things weren’t above board the actual career professionals whose job is election integrity in each state would have sounded the alarm.

So I’m not sure what you’re insinuating.

[–] offspec@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

You're arguing against him by agreeing with him. He said that they only accept this election as fair and the previous one as completely illegitimate, those are elections run by a Democratic administration and Republican respectively. You're talking past each other, it's very funny.

Stupid person:

  • Has theory
  • New data comes in
  • Changes theory
[–] teslasaur@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

That is literally the scientific method.

I think you meant something else, but it comes across as anti-science.

What they have is a false premise, built on nothing, nothing changed, still changes hypothesis after the outcome fall in line with their belief.
