Well no, because what you're saying is
President Trump: The election was rigged, democracy was undermined, you need to restore it by not legitimizing these undermined results
You: The president is undermining democracy
To be clear, I'm not saying that the results are illegitimate
Based on baseless claims yes it would be
I'm saying, the President is saying that, so this idea that he's purposefully trying to undermine democracy is a stretch
if the claims are baseless, they won't stand in court, the states will certify and nothing changes
If the allegation of fraud is based on nothing of merit (as the courts so far have all decided) then this would be a attempt to game the system. Rely on public opinion, and by that way apply pressure to state governments to over turn a legal election
I am not saying that trump will be successful
It's not gaming the system if you're acting in good faith
But the attempt alone should give people pause
Outside influencers are here to rile you up
@Repeat, you just advanced to level 8!
The President believes there was fraud, he wants to spend money to pursue it, let him spend his money
It’s not in good faith. The lawyers themselves know they have no case, that’s why so many of them quit
Here's the problem... Trump has called every election he has been in "Rigged" since he lost the Emmy's in 2003. Every election. At this point, he's a broken clock hoping the earth's rotation is on his side.
It's pretty hard to rile me up unless w're talking about best girl between Rei and Asuka 😆 ~~It's Asuka btw~~
Was the apprentice a good show?
Let's say it's not in good faith. President Trump will lose, lawyers might get disbarred, states certify and all proceeds normally
I can’t imagine it was
I still cannot buy this conspiracy that the President is attacking the process that was laid out 200 years ago
Taking advantage of rules set up 200 years ago because they couldn’t conceive of such a situation
I also don't buy that either
Why people think the founding fathers thought of everything is beyond me
You're telling me that people familiar with monarchs didn't think bribery would ever come into play?
Again bribery is not even necessary for trump to pull this off
Oh you don't like the word bribery, let's say persuasion
It’s just a tool in his tool box
You think monarchs were unable to engage in persuasion
It's a tool in everyone's tool box
@james j The Apprentice was actually a pretty good show. At least, I thought so at the time.
Right but they didn’t think that they would have a situation where someone would try to spam the courts with nonsense in order to convince people something exists when it doesn’t , and then try to invalidate votes based on nothing, remember trump does not need the courts for this
They were lawyers
Lawyers don't think of situations where people try to game the system?
He just had to convince enough people in certain states to make the state leaders feel pressure to invalidate the election
And the probability of doing so is so small that we don't care
they couldn’t conceive of airplanes or the internet
Yeah
A dishonest tactic that should be highlighted not ignored
Anyways it’s super interesting that Powell got fired
