Also given the fact that Trump's rallies were attended to in extremely larger numbers compared to that of Biden's, and the new White House videos being downvoted heavily in YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/WhiteHouse/videos https://www.youtube.com/c/WhiteHouse/videos *edit: Responding to a comment below, > I very much doubt he even won the election We have to be extremely careful when alleging election fraud. I think that may be perceived to be divisive. It would be more fruitful to directly link to the individual allegations instead: https://sharylattkisson.com/2020/12/what-youve-been-asking-for-a-fairly-complete-list-of-some-of-the-most-significant-claims-of-2020-election-miscounts-errors-or-fraud/ https://sharylattkisson.com/2020/12/what-youve-been-asking-f...

You do realize that that makes Trump and his supporters look worse not better? Considering there's currently a pandemic going on.

Indeed, the silent majority of this country voted for Biden.

  Biden is president because of like 62,000 votes across 4 different states.

    And SCOTUS has planned to look at the cases in two days: > The United States Supreme Court will be looking into election fraud lawsuits during its Feb. 19 conference. These lawsuits include two cases filed by the Trump campaign and one case, each filed by Sidney Powell, Lin Wood, and Republican Representative Mike Kelly. https://visiontimes.com/2021/02/17/the-supreme-court-will-look-into-election-lawsuits-in-february.html https://visiontimes.com/2021/02/17/the-supreme-court-will-lo...

    I agree, let's get rid of the electoral college, and we'll never have to deal with incompetent republicans in the WH again.

    Making that argument without acknowledging that Trump lost the popular vote is very disingenuous.
  - TheIronYuppie 6y ago
    Trump was president because of 107k votes in three states.
    - akhilcacharya 6y ago
      Even less than that really, only around 77k votes (MI, PA, WI margins).
  - akhilcacharya 6y ago
    He's actually president because of 81 million votes in every state but especially those in 25 States, DC, and Nebraska's 2nd congressional district.

It's always hilarious and absurd to me how people use Trump's rally size -- in 2020, during a pandemic -- as some sort of proxy objective measurement for popularity. I mean, Trump held rallies to the shock and horror of local and national and international government health departments because he's an entertainer and he knew it would be good for business, and in many cases even shamed people for wearing masks so as to attract _more_ people to his rallies. ("Everything's perfectly fine here you beautiful people!") Biden followed protocol to a T, because it was necessary to protect public health.

  Little bit of column A, little bit of column B. More people packed the streets for BLM than either candidate. But does anyone really believe that Joe Biden would have had popular rallies even without a pandemic to hide behind? I very much doubt he even won the election but we’ll probably never know!

    > But does anyone really believe that Joe Biden would have had popular rallies even without a pandemic to hide behind There's a two party system in the US. Like every presidential election literally ever, both parties attract a lot of popular attention because.... there's only two parties.

      Except for the 1992 presidential election, in which 18.9% of the votes went to 3rd party candidate Ross Perot. He didn't win any Electoral votes, but he did throw the election to Bill Clinton by denying George H.W. Bush an electoral vote majority in certain key states.

  I'd argue you could have said this in a more constructive way. If this were a sports game there would be yellow and red flags all over this incident. -No talking politics -No overuse of anonymous accounts -Be Kind, -Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive I really like that last one.
