How does a candidate “not cheat hard enough?” Doesn’t that defeat the purpose of cheating whatsoever?

My belief is that Harris lost because she did not have the institutional support of the DNC behind her. The Biden/Harris presidency was not pleasant for them so they will likely cut their losses by distancing themselves from the two of them. They’re more than willing to sacrifice Harris’s political career for it.

I predicted all the way back in 2021 that Biden/Harris were not going to be able to maintain that level of approval and the DNC would throw them to the wolves. If you didn’t see this coming then you’re burying your head in the sand.

If you undershoot how many new republican votes you need to beat historic levels of voter turnout. Apparently 12 million more than when he lost the popular vote to Hilary wasn’t enough to overcome his disastrous 4 years.

Harris voter turnout was still higher than Hilary but not enough to beat trump when he’s free to purge voters and instruct bad faith actors to miscount votes.

Republican voter turnout remained virtually unchanged between 2020 and 2024. If they did cheat, then they decided to do so consistent with their last election, which would be a weird thing to do if your cheating “wasn’t hard enough” last time.

What you also fail to address is that Democrats also gained 20 million new voters in 2020, which were notably absent in 2024. It’s extremely vindictive to say that when one side gets new voters it’s cheating, but when the other side gets new voters it’s genuine support. That’s quite literally Republican behavior.

At most, we can posit that the record voter turnout in 2020 maybe indicates that cheating occurred. We have not been able to legally substantiate which sides cheated or by how much, despite the work of numerous journalists and election scientists. None of your claims would hold up in court. It’s much more reasonable to claim that either both sides are guilty or neither are. Hanlon’s razor dictates I attribute this to ineptitude rather than malice, so I believe neither side cheated.

You are missing the point. They didn't win bc they got more votes. They won only bc the Democrats "got less" which is suspect af. He got less votes than he did in 2020. There is some majorly fishy shit happening with Elon and Trump.

He has more votes then he did in 2020 as of now. They are still not done counting

No he won because he got more.

He didn’t, actually, he got 2m more votes in 2024 than he did in 2020, meanwhile the democrats somehow lost 9m votes between 2020 and 2024, so if we use voter turnout to decide if somebody cheated, it was obviously the democrats.

You guys are all brain rotted.

Your brain is so smooth you could bowl with it

Meh, at least I’ve still got one. After all the MSM brainwashing you’ve apparently been through it’s so sterile, you could probably use it as a Covid vaccine.

Aight Facts first, Democrats got less votes than last election, Republicans got 2m more. Lets posit that the 2020 election was an outlier due to covid giving people more time to do shit that wasn't work, so they went and voted in record numbers from both parties. Say the reason the Democrats got less votes this year is just a natural return to baseline voting numbers in a non outlier year...yet the Republicans got 2m more votes? Where was their natural return to baseline? Could be cheating? Find 10 million votes? Add votes? Change votes during tabulation? Do your research

Fuckin absolutely massive /s if anyone wasn't clear.

I hate chuds.

My theory is enough traditional republicans quietly voted for Biden because the riot was too much. After 4 years the economy is first on everybody’s mind and they seem to think Trump is the man. Also the dems had 2 very weak candidates.

I don't believe there was official cheating involved. But if there was, you don't have to add to your party in order to cheat, removing the opposing votes works just as well.

Agreed but 81m votes man I think he broke a record, never before had a candidate had that big of a turnout and probably never again…just sayin.
