it's not fraud when their side does it.

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?

[–] Shortstack@reddthat.com 26 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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.

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

Stupid person:

  • Has theory
  • New data comes in
  • Changes theory

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.

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

[–] knightly@pawb.social 2 points 1 week ago

America has never had fair elections.
