    There is no trust in our election system. The only way to fix it is by bipartisan legislation. If the republicans made the reforms the democrats wouldn’t trust it, if democrats made the reforms the republicans wouldn’t trust it.

    If Jan 6th said anything it should say that the people who consider themselves the silent majority are silently planning. I think bipartisanship is the only way to avoid extremist actions that I hope more people than would rather not see.

    These people are the same type of people that were at the bundy ranch during Obama. They weren’t armed at the capital like they were at that ranch. You can laugh them off but it won’t end well for the country if our leaders choose to do the same and refuse to meet in the middle.

    I don’t recall ANY MSM stories saying the 2016 election was fraudulent, let alone stories every day.
    Can you link to an MSM story claiming the 2016 election was fraudulent?

    Well, Hillary conceded during election night. When did Trump concede?

    I am sure, though, that you are convinced that Dems claimed the 2016 election was illegitimate, because the RW media you watch continue telling you that this is the case.

    Trump was embarrassed that he lost the popular vote, so tried to claim fraud

    The whining actually begins before the election, ala Donald Trump in 2020.

    Lower performance than Marge?

    Can you prove any of this with at least one solid example, and perhaps some verifiable statistics? Otherwise it just sounds racist.

    (No, I'm not calling you a racist, please don't take that personally. I'm simply stating that your comment seems racist to me, with no corroborating facts.)

    We would have to see what both sides can negotiate on. If was only my idea it wouldn’t be in the middle would it

    You can't find examples to prove your case but I can (like the one this thread is based on). That makes me a realist and you not.

    Oh please she has an entire book full of excuses and the entire Democrat party spent the next 4 years telling us that he only won because of Russia.

    Seems I can remember Maxine Waters calling him an illegitimate president repeatedly and I'm sure she wasn't the only one.

    Act like you people are so innocent s***..

    Well, that right there is the problem. NO ONE on the right is talking. You can't negotiate without talking. And those idiots you voted for are taking their cues from YOU.

    Well, I can guarantee that the middle ground is not what the idiots you voted for are proposing. (A federal take over of the elections)

    Conspiracy theories? No. Examples of baseless claims? Yes.

    The results of the California recall election won’t be known until Tuesday night. But some Republicans are already predicting victory for the Democrat, Gov. Gavin Newsom, for a reason that should sound familiar.

    Voter fraud.

    Soon after the recall race was announced in early July, the embers of 2020 election denialism ignited into new false claims on right-wing news sites and social media channels. This vote, too, would supposedly be “stolen,” with malfeasance ranging from deceptively designed ballots to nefariousness by corrupt postal workers.

    As a wave of recent polling indicated that Mr. Newsom was likely to brush off his Republican challengers, the baseless allegations accelerated. Larry Elder, a leading Republican candidate, said he was “concerned” about election fraud. The Fox News commentators Tomi Lahren and Tucker Carlson suggested that wrongdoing was the only way Mr. Newsom could win. And former President Donald J. Trump predicted that it would be “a rigged election.”

    https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/12/us/politics/gop-voter-fraud-california-recall.html

    Loren Culp lost Washington’s gubernatorial race by more than 545,000 votes, but he’s not conceding — and says he’s not going away.

    Culp, the Republican who took 43% of the statewide vote against Gov. Jay Inslee, has taken a page from President Donald Trump’s playbook by attempting to sow doubts about the election results and lobbing unsubstantiated claims of voter fraud.

    In recent days, he and his campaign manager, Chris Gergen, also have turned their anger on top Washington Republicans, including Secretary of State Kim Wyman and state House Minority Leader J.T. Wilcox.

    The post-election moves suggest an effort by Culp to stay relevant and form a political organization to push the state Republican Party further toward his brand of angry populism.

    https://www.seattletimes.com/seattl...-gubernatorial-race-turns-on-top-republicans/

    In Maryland's 7th congressional district, Republican Kimberly Klacik lost her race by more than 40 points. She's nevertheless alleging that the race was "stolen" from her, in part because of a scheme involving Maryland's Republican governor, Larry Hogan.

    The Atlantic's Anne Applebaum asked, "What if every losing Republican behaves the same way from now on? Once the 'respect the voters' norm is gone, then it's gone for good."

    There is nothing illegal about not conceding. Did you see what happened in Paterson, NJ where a judge killed an election because of voter fraud? Guess who lives in Paterson, NJ? Blacks have twice the percentage of the population than they do nationwide and whites are about 30%. It’s the ultimate Biden racial jungle and there was election fraud big time.

    And 6 months ago MSNBC, seeing the writing on the mid term wall, actually came out and said the only reason republicans will win in 2024 is by cheating and fraud. So see, even the hard core left admits there’s voter fraud.

    For a second there it sounded like you were justifying the actions of anti-government extremists because they have policy differences with Dems. Wait.........you did.

    If racism is pushed as a policy then I suppose I wouldn’t necessarily criticize it. If that’s what you’re getting at.

    You also have to acknowledge the fact that denying healthcare based on race is in and of itself violent. Policies like that create people who will oppose oppression. It’s natural and shown true in the 1800’s. Not sure why this is shocking news to you.
