I call BS.
First of all, the outcome was statistically the most likely outcome (all swing states would go for Trump because if there was a bias, it has been in the underrepresentation of white voters in polls as all prior Trump elections).
If the vote tally was wrong, then so were all of the independent polls in exactly the same proportions.
In comparison to the non-swing states, Harris did a couple of percentage points worse than in the swing state. If Trump was cheating, he was focused more on all of the non-swing states, not the swing states.
Dems have to accept the idea that they are not popular. They continue to not be popular in current polls.
How Dems think on this board is not attractive to the rest of the country at large.
Biden achieved one of the biggest legislative victories for Democrats in decades, but he instituted very little of it because it was overshadowed by DEI quotas for vendors, which limited bidding to the largest companies. As a result, these projects were bogged down in paperwork and excessive review. (read Abundance)
Dems were not cheated by this election. They had a clueless President that did not have the vigor to institute his legislative or foreign policy agenda.
