    Welp. 4 out of every 10 Americans believe that there was significant fraud in the 2020 Presidential election, so there’s that. It’s kinda hard also to splain away the areas where Republicans won House and Senate seats but somehow Biden won those areas.

    It's not that hard to explain. Just read through President Trump's Twitter. He's a spoiled little child that has no business running our country.

    Credible citation from credible poll needed, please.

    Also, the idea that Republicans could have voted their party at the Congressional level and Biden at the top of the ticket (or for no president at all) is not entirely far-fetched.

    It’s pretty easy to explain, more people vote for president, democrats made the election about Trump not a platform which hurt down ballot, Biden is a moderate and attracted some percentage of conservative voters who wouldn’t stand for Trump’s fascism but still vote Republican in other races.

    Now, how do you explain why they would steal the election for Biden and no other races?

    Not in this election. Many Dem incumbents were taken out in the House. Ones that outspent their opponents 4 to 1. That doesn’t happen unless Trump voters show up.

    I get the argument, but I think you might overestimate the size of his base. I think the diehard Trump voters are more betrothed to him than they are any Congressional candidate. That's not to say they wouldn't vote for the "R" down ballot, of course. Moreover, you could argue that Trump had alienated a larger-than-expected amount of moderates or "RINOs" as this board might call them, who voted against him.

    Trump garnered more votes than any other candidate pre 2020. And that was with the pollsters playing games, saying He was down double digits in areas that He actually won.

    Do you see how I offered logical, rational explanations and you had to go straight to conspiracy?

    That was logical and rationale for no one with half of a brain. And it deserved moar of an OBK response than what I offered up to you.

    Afterall, you’re the guy who believes the Government should be running all of the banks.

    But to answer your question in a way that you may understand. Thieves, at least successful ones know they need to operate in a nuanced way as to leave less of a trail.

    The goal was to beat Trump. Nothing else mattered. Fucking with things down ballot had much more risk than reward.
