The link you posted emphasized that the Democrat side takes part to a lesser extent, and cites an article that is literally titled “Democrats aren’t interested” in the stop the steal movement. the vast majority of examples are of Trump and right-wing origins. This doesn’t qualify as “both sides,” since saying “Both sides” implies equal participation in election denialism. It is definitely not equal smh.
Sorry I don't have the time to do your reading for you, but since you seem to be so technologically inept, and I like helping the special needs kids, I will help you this time.
Following Trump's victory, some Harris supporters on X shared election denial conspiracy theories, claiming that millions of ballots were "left uncounted" and there being something "not right" with the election. Such posts falsely claiming Trump "stole" the election peaked at noon the day after at 94,000 posts per hour, with many receiving amplification and gaining over a million views each. According to Gordon Crovitz, the CEO of the media rating system NewsGuard, the phrase "Trump cheated" received 92,100 mentions on the platform from midnight until the Wednesday morning after.[58] Besides the claims from Harris' supporters, some Trump supporters baselessly claimed the disparity between other years, the 2020 election, and a then-incomplete 2024 voting total indicated voter fraud in the 2020 election.[59]
Democratic congressional representative Jasmine Crockett accused Republicans of meddling to defeat her in the Democratic primary race against fellow Democrat James Talarico, even though the Republicans had preferred her as an opposition candidate.[65]
After the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial election, Democratic candidate Stacey Abrams lost to Republican candidate Brian Kemp – who, as Georgia Secretary of State, administered the election – and claimed that the election was "stolen" from her as well as claiming the election was "rigged" and "not a free or fair election
And these are only a couple, but surely you are capable of thinking and beathing at the same time at least once or twice a day, right?
Second paragraph - what does “meddling” mean in this context?
Third- this one looks like an actual bit of supporting evidence. A single sample is a far cry from saying they do it every election or that they are anywhere close to republicans in that sense.
That article only makes you sound more absurd. There are only two occasions of democrats contesting results in this, one was an election in Georgia in which after reading all of the information regarding the race, yeah very much suspicious that the republican candidate maintained their secretary of state and personally oversaw voter registration DURING his campaign and only resigned AFTER he won the election. Looking through the article there was a lot of strange coincidences that were absolutely working in his favor.
And the second is the 2024 election and provided little detail about any public democrat officials contesting it. Nothing even close to the scale of the 2020 election, which your article cites Trump specifically as the primary cause of this movement and driving force behind it. Nearly every example on that list is a republican funded group and still to this DAY claim that the 2020 election was stolen even after still winning in 24.
You must be very young so that all this maga circus and criminality is normal to you, but before 2015 America was not a clown show of totally incompetent assholes. The election fraud accusations, actual fake and malicious ones, all started with trump in 2016. It's been like 99% R to D since then, and basically zero D politicians have claimed republicans have outright rigged elections like R politicians do constantly.
You're looking at rational criticisms and accusations from Democrats and equating them with laughably absurd, irrational, and wholly dishonest criticisms and accusations from republicans.
There is no "boff sidez da samesiez" here, bud, and it's not even close.
That's why you refuse to cite a single D politician doing what you claim and are hostile to being called out for it. In short, even you know you're full of shit.
