but it is still better than the crap that the media said was credible when they were attacking Trump. That’s the point.

It is actually more than 50%, and that includes Biden voters. From a poll a few weeks ago.

riddled with fraud

False premise. Out of the some three thousand counties in the US, the questionable actions focus on about 6. But those 6 swung the swing states which swung the election.

When will the mainstream media and the Democratic party finally admit that their entire Russian collusion narrative for the 2016 election was a hoax?

My thing is I don’t know for sure that there was massive election fraud but one thing is for sure, they wouldn’t look at the evidence and THAT stinks to high heaven.

And what about the “broken water main/pipe/leak whatever?” That “lie” was spread by the all-knowing media and was the excuse that counting stopped?

I actually think the next battle of election fraud is the Newsom recall.

The first test will be the signatures on the petitions. For elections Democrats think rejecting ballots because of a signature mismatch disenfranchises voters and is a very bad thing. That's why they have sued multiple states to stop the states from doing signature matching on absentee ballots. And when Democratic friendly poll workers compared signatures on absentee ballots the rates of rejections were tiny.

But watch what they do when it comes to the signatures on the recall petitions. Anyone want to bet on a lot of rejections?

...they come from the hated mainstream media.

Strangely worn like a badge of honor...

At least they’re admitting it.

I read a poll about 5 years ago. I forget what the subject was but buried in the question was one about believing Obama was born in the US. 70% yes, 30% no.

So, having a third of the public believing POTUS is illegitimate is NORMAL.

What’s different this time is the source of the illegitimacy. Now, the election process has lost the trust of the public. And elections are the ruse that governments use to claim legitimacy.

See, they even lie about people’s reaction to their previous lies. I bet it’s more like 50-60% are aware of the steal.

The story about the 2020 Election is going to get worse. The truth can't be suppressed forever.

If he was truly candid, he would admit to being a shill for the Democrat Party.

Just my opinion.

“Some will dismiss my arguments as illegitimate...”

Well, Phil, no doubt we’d do just that if you had made any arguments, but you didn’t. Unsupported assertions are not arguments.

This article doesn’t mention the Washington Post contributed to the Trump Russia collusion narrative for 3 years (2016 - release of the Mueller report in 2019). I’m sure that is one reason why so many conservatives don’t trust the Washington Post and the main stream media.

What’s an ‘actual journalist’? We haven’t had many of them in years; it’s increasingly difficult to find a viable one still surviving in the wild.

I wonder if the Philip Bump person is the sort who would sign a false affidavit under penalty of perjury...

I want to ask one question: what does "debunked" mean, as used by the Lefties? To me, "debunked" means: the allegations were investigated as thoroughly as Trump was investigated for "Russian collusion"; the affidavits were examined thoroughly and found to be false, and the person swearing to the truth of the accusation was convicted of perjury; the statistical analysis presented to the Georgia committee have been proven to be inaccurate by showing the error in the analysts' math.

Anyone have pointers to links showing that each and every one of these outcomes has been done?
