>> In other words, lack of evidence is evidence of a coverup
The media does what it does. It isn't a coverup just because the media are leftists. So are stage performers. It is the nature of the beast; performing artists tend to be "somewhere to the left of a Sandinista". So are newspaper reporters.
That is different from a lack of evidence. There is plenty of evidence; but some people refuse to look at it. Some people, out of confusion, have drawn the mistaken conclusion that if there is no fraud proved there must have been no cheating. Leftists in the news media capitalize on that attitude.
But cheating is the proper standard of measurement. Because cheating can result in improper outcomes in volume, whereas fraud tends to affect only smallish numbers. But let's be real. I could lay out a dozen hard-and-fast proofs of cheating, and you'd be saying, "Nothing to see here." You've co-mingled your political views with the evidence to yield a home brew you can live with -- "we didn't get the Orange Man, votes did occur, the cheating wasn't "in-your-face", and only 30-40% of voters believe something improper happened.
Good enough for government work!
But most Americans don't bother to read about what actually happened -- probably about 1 in 10 even in these threads have really paid much attention to what did or didn't happen. Lots of you justify it by rationalization -- as you have -- by saying, "Oh, it doesn't matter if Zuckerberg controlled the vote counting in key areas. Republicans should just do the same" -- seemingly pressing for a race to the bottom.
I find any form of cheating to be abhorrent. As a long-time card counter back in the day, I know where the lines are drawn. Once it becomes cheating rather than just "good at what you do", I want no part of it. Whether it is gambling, politics, or financial accounting, whatever, I see the difference as good vs. evil.
When people blur the lines between right and wrong, I'm not onboard. The Dems are blurring the lines to an extent that is entirely unworkable for me. |
