Yes they were a huge number of election deniers for the 2016 election and a vast amount of irresponsible rheotoric around it that was very dangerous to democracy. Don't try to gaslight on this one. A lot of uneducated morons and delusional conspiracy theorists thought "Trump colluded with Putin to hack the election", fueled by dangerous and irresponsible rhetoric from certain anti-democratic election denier politicians and media corporations.
- dragonwriter 4y ago> a huge number of election deniers for the 2016 election [citation needed]
- throwawaylinux 4y agoNo it isn't.
- dragonwriter 4y agoWell, since you are just lying, I can see why a demand for evidence is inconvenient.
- epylar 4y agoHow many election deniers?
- throwawaylinux 4y agoA large majority of Democrat voters fell for these baseless and dangerous election-denial conspiracy theories. Why do you ask? https://twitter.com/peterjhasson/status/1064259048902668289 https://twitter.com/peterjhasson/status/1064259048902668289
- dragonwriter 4y agoThe one question you present evidence of is not questioning the legitimacy and validity of the election; there is a difference between believing (rightly or wrongly, with or without sufficient cause) that improper activity effected the popular vote tally and believing that the election is illegitimate. You present no evidence relating to actual election denial.

- throwawaylinux 4y agoSure I'll try to do better, I'm sorry. Would you apply the same rules to people escalating, calling me names, being snarky, etc in the same thread?
- dang 4y agoAppreciated! Yes, if that's what they were doing, but I'd have to see specific links. (For example I don't think https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35366985 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35366985 broke the site guidelines although it wasn't entirely un-edgy either.)
