Many Democrats continue to believe that the racism of average Americans — many of whom voted for Barack Obama twice — explains why Donald Trump won. This moralism suits party elites who would rather demonize the public than address growing inequality.

      I mean, that’s the Republican strategy, right?

      Make up a bunch of easily disprovable lies about what your oppenents doing, then when your opponent calls you out, it sounds like nonsense.

        Read it. Trump just installed two flag poles at the WH because he lives there because he’s the POTUS. What news are you reading exactly?

                According to the right there were. They had some shaky evidence. Is your evidence more credible and solid than theirs or is it equally as shaky? Post it bro, let’s compare evidence. See if you come out looking better than the MAGA crowd

                  Is your evidence more credible and solid than theirs

                  Yes. Yes it is.

                    It really really isn’t.

                    One county in a deep red part of New York had 0 votes for Kamala. That same county had 0 votes for Biden last election. In a state that Kamala won.

                    This has very, “how come there were 30 points swings in the polls in under an hour” energy that MAGA had when mail-in ballots got processed in Pennsylvania and Arizona in 2020.

                    But this doesn’t even pass the smell test. Even if it was fraud, why? They just decided to do it in a suspicious way in a state they were never gonna win in the first place? What’s the end game? Why make it zero votes at all? Why do it in New York?
