Was The Election Rigged Or Do Trump Supporters Just Not Want To Lose?

 

I’ve heard a lot of my Republican friends say they’ll never believe Joe Biden got 81 million votes. I have to admit, it’s hard to imagine 81 million people voted for a demented plagiarist who wants to cut social security.

 But by the same token, I find it inconceivable that 74 voted for Donald Trump. And I don’t mean million. Oh, I know you voted for him because he said things that no one else would, that he called out establishment politicians in a way establishment media never would. And I know elections have devolved into voting against the worst candidate rather than choosing a candidate the whole country can tolerate.

 But it’s time for Trump supporters to contemplate the fact that their candidate WAS the worst candidate, at least in the eyes of the electorate. I mean, you already see some of his negatives, right? I’ve often heard it when you are talking amongst yourselves and I’ve heard it when you defend him by saying things like: “I wish he wouldn’t say some of the crazy things he does, but…”

 Well a lot of people see the crazy things he tweets and don’t see the “but…” They stopped listening after the crazy and didn’t hang around for the alleged good stuff he said.

 But I understand your concern over election integrity and absolutely support the push for free, fair, and open elections. And I’m sure you have been pushing for it for decades too, right? I mean, you’ve been opposing voter purges of people whose names are similar to convicted felons, right? And you’ve been fighting against gerrymandering, right? And you’ve been calling out proprietary software that leaves open the possibility of vote-switching ever since it was introduced during the Bush Administration, right? I mean I can't believe your concern for voting integrity is nothing more than a desire to have your preferred candidate serve a second term. Right?

 So let’s work on this together and get to the bottom of any election rigging that might have occurred, so that the rightful candidate becomes President of the United States of America.

 Just know that once we dig down to the truth, that candidate will be Bernie Sanders. Yeah, you say the Democratic Party stole the election from Donald Trump? That may be true, but they didn’t have the power to rig it against Trump the way they did with Bernie Sanders. The entire establishment of the Democratic Party was out to get Bernie Sanders and they were in complete control of the primaries. The Democrats didn’t have nearly the opportunity to cheat against Trump as they did against Bernie Sanders. They don't control the Supreme court and they don't control any state government in the same way they controlled the primary. They were able to completely do Bernie in and they did him hard. If it were not for the fact that they pulled out all stops against him, he would have become the Democratic Party’s nominee. So if you’re truly concerned about election rigging, let’s re-run the election, only this time with Trump versus Sanders.

 And Bernie Sanders will win, you know. Whatever your political leanings may be, you have to admit everything Bernie stood for is precisely what Americans are clamoring for at the moment. We are, after all, in the midst of a pandemic and an impending depression. When last we had a similar situation, the United States unprecedentedly elected a Democratic Socialist for President for four terms. And Donald Trump is an even more unlikeable version of Herbert Hoover. Even if you think he walks on water, Trump would not beat Sanders. It’s just not his moment.

 So if you want to overturn the election, I’d be willing to have a fair do over. But if you’re not willing to admit Bernie Sanders was at least as cheated as Donald Trump and should have a shot at the presidency, I’m going to dismiss all your bellyaching as nothing more than sour grapes.
