Berg’s Seventh Law (“When a progressive issues a group defamation or assault on conservatives’ ethics, character, humanity or respect for liberty or the truth, they are at best projecting, and at worst drawing attention away from their own misdeeds“) was written long before I first read Saul Alinski’s “Rules for Radicals”, so I didn’t know that Alinski’s Rule 4, “”Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules”, is more or less the same idea.
The most tiresome, and omnipresent, meme of this election is “a vote for Republicans is a vote against Democracy”, combined with labeling any call for scrutiny of election laws and processes on any level as “election denialism”.
It’s a way of “othering” people – for, in most cases (shaddap about Marjory Taylor Greene – for defending a system of self-government …
…that is under constant attack by the left themselves.
It’s time to start calling out:
- Electoral College Denialists
- Minoritarian Senate Denialists
- Enumerated Powers Denialists
- Checks and Balances Denialists…
…as the threats to self-government that they actually are.
Sure…play their game.

Twelve minutes of Democrats denying certified election results
OK, this, I needed. Thx.
I intend to repost the link to twelve minutes of dems denying certified election results whenever another commenter so much as hints that “election denial” is a GOP problem.
On Dec. 17, 2016, almost six weeks after Trump’s surprise victory over Hillary Clinton, Jean-Pierre tweeted, “Stolen emails, stolen drone, stolen election …..welcome to the world of #unpresidented Trump.”

Reminder: Brian Kemp stole the gubernatorial election from Georgians and Stacey Abrams.
There are crazy politicians everywhere, but it seems that in the US they get a disproportionate amount of attention and some voters seem to love them. We’re a bipartisan mess.
I suspect that Emery’s enthusiasm for “our democracy” is directly proportional to his preferred candidates winning their elections.
^^ There’s nothing like an election-denying piece to bring out the swivel-eyed tin foil hat-wearers.
^^ and here you are right on cue
Look how Arizona became ground zero for election deniers. When submitted to courts for independent adjudication in keeping with rules of evidence and due process of law, every 2020 election deniers’ claim has been rejected. In Arizona, elected Republican officials then certified the election results. The deniers are nothing more than a rabble of sore losers, rumor mongers, and scofflaws, full stop. It is now up to all of the rest of us to turn out, vote, and repudiate them and their baseless nonsense, which for my part I did through vote by mail.
For Emery — twelve minutes of tinfoil hat wearing democrats denying the results of certified elections: https://youtu.be/XX2Ejqjz6TA
I am sure that Emery voted for many of these conspiracy theorists.
liberals refuse to state the conditions which indicate a stolen election because it would then be immediately obvious which ones they stole and how they stole them
If ballots are accepted without identification, signatures, witnesses, postmarks or other indicia of reliability, is that an indicator of skullduggery
If the impartial observers are prohibited from watching the counters conduct the counting, is that an indicator of skullduggery
If the number of ballots counted greatly exceeds the number of voters in the district, is that an indicator of skullduggery
If the ballots counted showed the candidates running neck-and-neck until 4:00 a.m. when suddenly every single ballot was cast for the same candidate, is that an indicator of skullduggery
If all those conditions exist and the the losing candidate complains that his electoral victory was stolen from him, is he an Election Denier or is he absolutely correct
thats what makes this so frustrating liberals lying about stolen elections conducted under the every conditions they insisted on
maybe we should ask the resident expert
go ahead emery state the indicia of a stolen election
that way we will know come next week whether this one was fair or foul
Considering Hillary Clinton conceded right after the election, you are going to need a lot of help writing that article. I suppose the difference between Trump and Clinton is, well, that whole mob thing.
“Bigman” — Prior to the 2020 election Trump made sure that he got the narrative going quickly. Despite being President and being able to do something about it, he, for months, said that the election would be rigged if he lost.
Then he lost and threw his toys out of the pram. And to date no judge has been able to see any sign of fraud. Nothing. Zip. Nada. We keep hearing about evidence but none is forthcoming. Trump’s own AG said he found nothing.
And the curious thing is that in many districts Biden won the Presidential vote but in the very same districts Republicans won other races. And yet somehow, those votes are all fine. Same ballots, same machines, same process. So this incredible conspiracy was not only able to remain entirely hidden but was also able to precisely only affect the Presidential race.
What we have here is a former President and the GOP just being plain old bad losers. They were quite happy with the election in the areas they won, but not where they lost. That for me is pretty unforgivable.
Here is over twelve minutes of various high profile Democrats denying certified election wins by Republicans: https://youtu.be/XX2Ejqjz6TA
see what i mean i ask emery to state the indicia of a stolen election but he refuses to respond just throws out nonsense
has any election ever been stolen
how can we tell

“Scrutiny is denial”

Emery,
She didn’t concede. She made that rat bastard John Podesta do it for her. Then, for the four years after that, she squawked that it was rigged, it was the Russians, it was Putin. As the YouTube video that UMMP posted, your pathetic party has done that same old song and dance since 2000, in other words, every time they lost. But, funny! Republicans are pointing out the same issues about election integrity, hacked voting machines, etc. but the entire left wing DemoCommie apparatus says it was the most secure election ever. Hypocrite!
From what I hear, the GOP has learned from its mistakes and has teams of lawyers ready to travel to districts where the vote count is close and make their case before the law.
We’ll see.
Who won the 2020 presidential election?
Well, that depends on what you mean by “won” doesn’t it?
Hillary got more votes than Trump in the the official 2020 count, but she wasn’t the one sworn in in January 2021.
Elections are governed by a set of rules that are quite complicated. In every sufficiently large election, there will be votes counted that should not have been counted, and votes uncounted that should have been counted. Usually the numbers are small beer & no one quibbles. But if the election is close?
I can remember Democrats arguing in 2000 that whoever voters marked on the ballot, more voters intended to vote for Gore than for Bush (the infamous Palm Count FL “butterfly ballot” controversy).
Democrats are very, very eager to dispute elections that they feel have been stolen from them.
^^ I believe that’s standard for both parties. Just like in 2020…
“No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people.” ~ P.T. Barnum.
The key difference is that the stupidity wasn’t always malicious and instead was humanizing. After Palin goofiness rapidly gave way to conspiracy theories and outright rejection of reality — Trump’s birtherism was the ultimate harbinger of things to come.
If, back in October 2020, I had claimed here on SITD that electing Biden would result by midterms 2022 a humiliating defeat in Afghanistan directly comparable to Vietnam in 1975, that we would have a land war in Eastern Europe complete with the shadow of WW3, more people dead of Covid than under Trump despite the vaccine, a wide open border with close to 3 million illegal border crossings a year, inflation, especially food and gasoline price inflation at levels we have not seen since the early 80s, Emery would have accused me of being an irrational, rabid Biden hater.
But that is where we are.
All of our major troubles are a direct result of Biden’s presidency. Abroad he expresses weakness and incompetence. Domestically he expresses cruelty, devisiveness, and above all incompetence.
Just a reminder that Emery still believes that Trump colluded with Putin to steal the 2016 presidential from Hillary.
Emery is a nut, a lunatic, by his own standards.
Do not ever confuse Emery with a rational human being. He has serious mental and behavioral issues.
^^ Naw. It was an entirely defensible, accurate, and really minor observation. And you whining about it says far more about you than me.

A Mr. Greenblatt holding on line 3, Mitch. Says you’ll take this call if you know what’s good for you.
Hey, who’s in charge of the NBA, anyway?
“Shut up and dribble” applies just as much as “Shut up and sing”. Even more so, since dribblers belong to an organization and their blather can be taken as being endorsed by the organization. You either want to collect a cheque and live by the rules or get yourself a gig with Farrakhan, I’m sure he will pay just as much.
As for private citizens saying what they want, all the power to them, no matter how vile. But it is also up to rest to do what they want in reaction to such speech, including scorn and ridicule and yes, denial of revenue.

Spot on Mitch. But I am sure our resident puke leftist, I guess we call ‘it’ RAT will disagree. You know, because hesheit is a loathsome leftist mask-wearing pro govt @#@!
