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

2020-11-23 00:09:03 UTC  

To be clear, I'm not saying that the results are illegitimate

2020-11-23 00:09:13 UTC  

Based on baseless claims yes it would be

2020-11-23 00:09:26 UTC  

I'm saying, the President is saying that, so this idea that he's purposefully trying to undermine democracy is a stretch

2020-11-23 00:10:19 UTC  

if the claims are baseless, they won't stand in court, the states will certify and nothing changes

2020-11-23 00:10:26 UTC  

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

2020-11-23 00:10:55 UTC  

I am not saying that trump will be successful

2020-11-23 00:11:01 UTC  

It's not gaming the system if you're acting in good faith

2020-11-23 00:11:05 UTC  

But the attempt alone should give people pause

2020-11-23 00:11:15 UTC  

Outside influencers are here to rile you up

2020-11-23 00:11:16 UTC  

@Repeat, you just advanced to level 8!

2020-11-23 00:11:18 UTC  

The President believes there was fraud, he wants to spend money to pursue it, let him spend his money

2020-11-23 00:11:33 UTC  

It’s not in good faith. The lawyers themselves know they have no case, that’s why so many of them quit

2020-11-23 00:11:46 UTC  

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.

2020-11-23 00:11:46 UTC  

It's pretty hard to rile me up unless w're talking about best girl between Rei and Asuka 😆 ~~It's Asuka btw~~

2020-11-23 00:12:35 UTC  

Was the apprentice a good show?

2020-11-23 00:12:36 UTC  

Let's say it's not in good faith. President Trump will lose, lawyers might get disbarred, states certify and all proceeds normally

2020-11-23 00:12:39 UTC  

I can’t imagine it was

2020-11-23 00:13:05 UTC  

I still cannot buy this conspiracy that the President is attacking the process that was laid out 200 years ago

2020-11-23 00:13:14 UTC  

@james “you’re fired”

2020-11-23 00:13:43 UTC  

Taking advantage of rules set up 200 years ago because they couldn’t conceive of such a situation

2020-11-23 00:13:54 UTC  

I also don't buy that either

2020-11-23 00:13:58 UTC  

Why people think the founding fathers thought of everything is beyond me

2020-11-23 00:14:13 UTC  

You're telling me that people familiar with monarchs didn't think bribery would ever come into play?

2020-11-23 00:14:34 UTC  

Again bribery is not even necessary for trump to pull this off

2020-11-23 00:14:35 UTC  

Oh you don't like the word bribery, let's say persuasion

2020-11-23 00:14:47 UTC  

It’s just a tool in his tool box

2020-11-23 00:14:48 UTC  

You think monarchs were unable to engage in persuasion

2020-11-23 00:15:02 UTC  

It's a tool in everyone's tool box

2020-11-23 00:15:29 UTC  

@james j The Apprentice was actually a pretty good show. At least, I thought so at the time.

2020-11-23 00:16:33 UTC  

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

2020-11-23 00:16:46 UTC  

They were lawyers

2020-11-23 00:17:01 UTC  

Lawyers don't think of situations where people try to game the system?

2020-11-23 00:17:17 UTC  

He just had to convince enough people in certain states to make the state leaders feel pressure to invalidate the election

2020-11-23 00:17:37 UTC  

And the probability of doing so is so small that we don't care

2020-11-23 00:17:42 UTC  

they couldn’t conceive of airplanes or the internet

2020-11-23 00:18:02 UTC  

@james j It's a tactic... Just not a very honorable one.

2020-11-23 00:18:08 UTC  

Yeah

2020-11-23 00:18:32 UTC  

A dishonest tactic that should be highlighted not ignored

2020-11-23 00:19:19 UTC  

Anyways it’s super interesting that Powell got fired
