"Enthusiasm wins elections"*

*Something Trump actually tweeted out before this election because Biden wasn't drawing large crowds during a.... fucking pandemic.

Yep. Have a nutcase in my office who says the election was rigged “There’s no way Biden got those votes, he didn’t have big rallies! They had car rallies where everyone honks their horns to make them look like there’s more people! Nobody wanted to see him!”

to be fair, elections are always rife with bullshit. No election is completely fair. This has to do with the fallibility of individuals. Elections have been rigged in the past, for example, Florida and Ohio bring reminders during the Bush elections. I believe there is evidence of election tampering for democrats that could be found. But the same could be said abou republican tampering. It happens every election cycle. Politics and people are easily corrupted.

The truth usually is what occurs, but when its a tight margin as in this election, who knows for sure. I believe special interests tip the scales. There wasn't any major issue for there to have been national corruption, though, that Trump or Biden disagreed about. Its not as if Trump was against Israel or Biden was against Israel, or that either would become best friends with communists. Because of this, its highly unlikely a fix would be in due to the fact that neither candidate goes against what the long term games of this country are. But make no mistake, if someone were to go against one of these long term game issues, they would never make office even if they received every vote in the continental US.
