But the thing is, it's not an equivalence, right? We know for a fact that Russia tampered in the 2016 US election. The republican candidate literally asked for their help on live TV, his campaign met with them, several people close to him during his presidency were indicted for contact with Russia. In comparison, the claims regarding election integrity for 2020 are circumstancial and baseless (in the sense that if I were the Republicans and there indeed was no cheating,
but I wanted to convince the public, I wouldn't do anything differently). How can anyone look at this seriously and see anything comparable?
- TechBro8615 4y agoThere's a big difference between information warfare and tampering with vote tallies, which is what the poll asked, and which was the basis on which Democrats objected to their certification. Additionally, I'm not making any argument about the validity of claims on either side - just pointing out that the skepticism falls along partisan lines.
