Voter apathy, mostly.

Racism/sexism, shitty Democrat messaging, misinformation, shit like that made a tight race go towards Trump... but the reason it wasn't a wash was because millions upon millions of Americans decided it would be better to not show up and leave the fate of their country in the hands of others than make any kind of meaningful decision.

Trump with out a doubt cheated, the GOP has been appointing loyalist electors for the last 8 years and placing loyalist SCOTUS judges since Reagan.

The question is are the left so well trained to accept fascism that they don't even acknowledge the cheating once the investigations are over?

Come on man. There wasn’t election fraud. Let’s not act like election denier republicans

There was election fraud, but in my opinion not to the extent that it had a significant effect on the outcome. Particularly things like the burning of several ballot boxes, bomb threats, etc. One thing we know about republicans is that they love to accuse people of things that theyre guilty of.

There wasn’t any large scale election fraud. Maybe 500 votes across the country max were affected by those things

All those bullet votes lol

What's a bullet vote? Not American, but share a large border.

Fair question! A vote that only marked the spot for President and nothing else. There were a much higher percentage of those "bullet" votes cast than ever before.

This happened in 2016 and in 2020. Trump voters who only care about Trump have been a feature in every Trump election

You know who doesn't check that their vote was counted? People who didn't vote.

I'd love to see non voters confirm they didn't vote, and that those bullet ballots are real.
