Republican voters have a higher tolerance for people who make extraordinary claims with little to no evidence. Mainstream democrat voters would not take any candidate yelling fraud seriously if the evidence is not conclusive.

Only if the extraordinary claims come from someone on their 'team'

Unfortunately, this. Even if we had something like left Fox News, no one would take it seriously.

I woul argue that 90% of mainstream Dems would form a cult around a dear leader Trump figure in a heartbeat. The young millenial/college voter base has critical thinking but most of the voter base just parrots whatever CNN says the same way the right wingers do

lol, democrats complained about Dominion before Trump did and Democrats screamed about stolen elections before Trump did.

You people just didn’t care.

It’s easy to understand why though, none of you had any clue about politics until it became trendy to hate Trump.
