Compromised as a result of aggressive and targeting foreign influence. Social engineering sponsored by state-level actors.

Democrats weren't claiming massive voter fraud was occurring and that it robbed them of the election and refused to concede as as result.

In fact, the one person very loudly crying about voter fraud in 2016 was the same person doing it now. Donald Trump, unhappy at losing the popular vote, claimed and continues to claim that the only reason he failed to secure the popular vote was due to massive voter fraud.




Harry Reid made claims that the sytems were compromised and vote totals were manipulated.


Harry Reid isn't the center point of the Democratic party. Nor is Harry Reid the President, nor is Harry Reid trying to hold the White House hostage.

People say all kinds of crap. There are people who are democrats who are bad people, lie, and say dumb crap. There are people who are republicans who are bad people, lie, and say dumb crap.

There is a profound and marked difference between Harry Reid grumbling about 2016 and what is happening in this election.

Parties play party politics, and you're correct in that there is a lot hypocrisy in that, especially when the balance of power swings. This, however, is not an example of that. This is a refusal to not only accept reality, but also leave lasting damages and deepen the divide in this country. It's shameful and a national tragedy.


I thought Reid was minority whip when he made the 2016 comments.

Yeah, I can see Trump's comments being divisive. There have been Democrats that have made divisive comments too. Which is why I see them as similar. We'll have to see if he steps down when he's supposed to.
