Who IS running on that platform? Before you answer that you should consider the difference between having an opinion on a certain topic and an actual campaign platform.

My bad, I meant to say some of them are saying they won't accept the results (if it doesn't go their way I guess.)

There is way more voter fraud with mail-in ballots than in-person voting. Ever hear of ballot harvesting?

As MoR asked you the other day...if you believe in the (failed) policies of the left, why do you live in a red state? Why aren't you in NY or PA or MA or MI?

Yes I have heard of ballot harvesting:

I was born and raised in the South, and that's why (with all its challenges) I still live here.
It's certainly not good that a Red State like mine is in a group with 40% higher murders rate than others.

In 2020, per capita murder rates were 40% higher in states won by Donald Trump than those won by Joe Biden.

Are there current candidates on record saying they won't accept the results of their own election? Who are they? I'm legitimately curious..

The things that libs get upset about....

Man, it is truly stunning how the MSM and the Democrat Party have orchestrated this "threat to Democracy" narrative...... perfectly synchronized with a deafening bullhorn on the campaign trail and constant bellowing from the propaganda wing of the the Democratic Party.

Isn't it obvious that the true "threat to Democracy" is Progressive Extremist and their Socialism utopia? By definition THAT is the real threat because if they had their way, we would no longer be a Democracy.

this country has never nor ever will be a democracy. However, both the extremist left and right are threats to the country.

Someone check the record player - there seems to be a skip in the record...

We all saw it. It has been played out.

There is no threat to Democracy. This is a stupid narrative to whip up the dumb D voters.

You probably think MAGA had something to do with P.P.’s assault?
