He may be a mediocre runner but he's not a bad shot
Fun fact: DonOLD the Con once said the Emmys were rigged because The Apprentice kept losing to The Amazing Race LOL.
OMG i have trump nipples
Imagine if that guy was the faster swimmer in over half the US states.
What's funny to me is this is the attitude of both sides fans.
it's the attitude that one side says both sides have, but we know they (and you) already live in an invented reality anyway.
Sadly no. The reality is both sides are demonizing each other to the point where both feel comfortable portraying the other as the enemy. It's terrifying if you have even a modicum of common sense. Just cause someone likes a different politician doesn't make them a Nazi, a communist, or any of the words the left and right are throwing around. It's not normal. And pretending it is is just weird.
It's not though.
Woah, another Czech Lemmy user! @pmjv@lemmy.sdf.org @subarctictundra@lemmy.world There's like 4 of us!
I'm confused.
What prominent figures on the left have said something to the effect of "If we lose, the election was rigged!"??
I can only think of prominent figures on the right who have made statements like this.
Or are you saying that those who are against the 2 party system typically fall under the thinking that the election is rigged?
There's a very slight, very marginal, barely noticeable difference between liberals commenting on the SCOTUS decision to halt the recount in Bush v Gore circa 2000 and conservatives baselessly claiming millions of illegal ballots were cast in the state of California in 2016, preventing the incoming President from claiming both the EC majority and the popular vote win.
I would not describe these as perfectly identical attitudes toward an electoral contest.
Also, republicans doing everything they can to suppress votes. Including things like
- Changing identification rules unnecessarily resulting in people not getting to vote who have voted for literally decades the same way.
- Aggressively wiping voter roles knowing it will affect democrats more than republicans.
- Bring on a Post Master general to start dismantling mail sorting machines significantly slowing down the mail… Right after stats showed democrats were much more likely to vote by mail.
All this bullshit happens and democrats will bitch about how unfair it is, but will still accept the results.
They are barely noticeable differences. Like between an ant and a blue whale.
Only one "side" has "fans" though.
Omg how I wish that was true.
