  1. > “Donald Trump may be crazy, but he’s not stupid. When he claims that ‘nobody’ showed up at a 10,000 person Harris-Walz rally in Michigan that was live-streamed and widely covered by the media, that it was all AI, and that Democrats cheat all of the time, there is a method to his madness,” Sanders said in a statement.

    > “Clearly, and dangerously, what Trump is doing is laying the groundwork for rejecting the election results if he loses,” he added. “If you can convince your supporters that thousands of people who attended a televised rally do not exist, it will not be hard to convince them that the election returns in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and elsewhere are ‘fake’ and ‘fraudulent.’”

    Depressingly, after January Sixth and the slap-on-the-wrist punishments for the vast majority of the attackers, it’s not surprising that Donald, someone in his circle, or just his cult, are likely to give it another shot.

    He denied the results in the election he won, he still claims he would have won the popular vote if it wasn’t for cheating.

    Yes, he repeatedly said that there is no way that 80 plus million people voted for Biden so that that would instill insecurity in our elections

    He just can’t handle that there was and still is 80 plus million of us that dislike him greatly (I changed it from hate because I was raised better than that.)

    He’s the worst thing that ever happened to America

  4. Of course he is. He’s an entitled shithead who can’t take losing. He will whine and cry and stamp his feet and claim robbery. And his base will eat it up and do whatever he wants to get him to stop crying

    Has he ever admitted losing any contest? I think denying the election results is a given. He is so weird.

  6. Attorneys foaming at the mouth for easy slam dunks on the election officials that won’t certify election results.

    Sue baby, sue!

    Yeah. We know. That’s what he does every time when he knows he is losing. The GOP has no self awareness.

  8. I’m glad that we’re finally starting to see Democrat leadership warning about this. But I’d really, really rather see Democratic leadership saying “Here’s how we’re going to prevent this”. I hate the feeling that we’re walking into a disaster that everyone has seen coming for four years, and we seem to be as unprepared for it as we were when we all saw Jan 6 coming last time.

  9. We all see it coming. It’s no secret. Why isn’t the government doing more to stop it is my question. Average Joe cant do anything legally.

  10. The good news here is, DonOLD Trump is NOT in power. DonOLD is not covered by SCOTUS as “official” acts. Biden WILL protect the Capitol.

    I look forward to the day we don’t have to hear from or about Donald Fucking Trump any more.

  12. It’s why Trump is so pissed about the crowd sizes.

    They would use the crowd turnout at Trump rallies vs Harris rallies as clear evidence that there’s no way he didn’t win.

    Show out to Harris rallies if you want to do something to defeat Trump.

  13. Of course he is. He’s gonna attempt to steal it again. It’s exactly why he isn’t out campaigning. He knows he doesn’t have to try and get votes because they have a plan to steal it.

  14. flowersandfists on

    Of course he is. It’s going to be a mess. I think we’re going to have a lot of conservative areas refusing to certify. The goddamn idiot Trump cult.

  15. He’s not just gearing up to deny the election results. I expect him to call up as much militia as he can to form his own army.

    Anyone who thinks that’s absurd wasn’t paying attention when Trump was president. He sent unidentified, non-uniformed, heavily armed “troops” into blue cities.

    If he thinks he can’t win in November, I expect him to try to start a civil war. And I expect a surprisingly large part of the Republican Party to stick with him.

    I don’t think people understand how much of a threat Trump is to our country.

  16. In the meantime lets humiliate Trump with massive rally crowds. VOTE anyway. Vote vote vote.

  17. Bernie clearly laid out the 2020 denial plan before the election (I believe on Colbert) listen to Bernie.
