How did Biden accomplish more votes than Obama in 2012?

You're outta your element, Donnie....

I suspect because more people voted overall.

I suspect because more people voted overall.

Biden wasn't nearly as popular as Obama, ever, at any point in his campaign.

You had unprecedented levels of voting on both sides. With only two people real candidates to vote for, and record participation, it only makes sense that he surpassed Obama's total.

(Democrats) *Spends 4 years saying the election was hacked/rigged, tries to impeach president*
(Also Democrats) This election was 100% secure, and we don't need a recount. Don't you trust the government?

They've done recounts for Wisconsin and are in the process of doing one on Georgia as well. Also, several of the state election officials were Republicans who also said they found no evidence of widespread fraud. Also, you do realize the Judge that denied the Trump's campaign's claims was a conservative judge appointed by George Bush, right? But lemme guess, he's a RINO.

If isn't true, though. Like at all. A Republican senate committee conducted an investigation and found that there was foreign interference in the 2016 election, they just never made the link between the Trump campaign of it being outright collusion. Also, if Trump was that concerned about free and fair elections, why didn't he get his Republican controlled senate to pursue election security bills that were proposed in the House for years before this election. Ses, this is what I find frustrating about [MENTION=37565]Dareyth[/MENTION]. You throw out these half-ass armchair political talking points but you don't do the homework first. You just throw out things and hope something sticks, regurgitating the same Fox News talking points that depend upon quickly capturing the attention of the casual listener who is unwilling to dig deeper, thus causing what they're saying to seem as if it is real news when really it's just a spin.

Flip and reverse that, and that’s Trump (along with his loud obnoxious Trumpets).

Another one also accepted his claim in PA.

And no, Reps and Dems are on the same side as far as I was ever concerned. The Republican leaders anyways. I voted Republican because of Trump, not because I support the party. Republicans are controlled opposition.

I was saying my statement under the assessment that, yes, possibly, it may be true that they looked as hard as possible to link Trump to an unfair election. But how does doing EXACTLY what you feel the other party did wrong make you the superior and better party? If you want to believe your truth, okay, then at least look at it rationally.

The irony of believing that the several times caught and sued conman reality star is the only virtuous person in US politics. Seriously, I wanna lay all of what you're saying out on a table using flashcards, dissecting it all out one-by-one so we can really focus on what you're actually saying. This is what Trumpism is -- feelings of facts. Sentiments over substance. You have nothing tangible or credible to rebuttal back with, only things Trump says because if Trump says it, it must be true. The reality TV star, Trump, is the only truth.

If Republicans are going to be the party of political theater, can you at least get likable reality stars? What about Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino from Jersey Shore for 2024? All we gotta find is some straight man Republican shill to pair him up with as VP to give him just enough legitimacy to not be laughed off the ballot. What about Ted Cruz? I may be onto something here....

I could totally get behind a The Situation/Ted Cruz ticket for 2024. If you wanna capitalize on the unexpected gains on the minority vote Trump gained, maybe Flavor Flav may have a broader appeal than some Jersey Shore guy. Flavor Flav/Ted Cruz ticket, instead. Now we're cooking. Instead of MAGA hats everyone can walk around with oversized clocks around their necks with the slogan "Time to put American First"

I gotta stop giving you all this gold for free -- No more free Randy. I'm quitting my day job and becoming a campaign advisor for Republican candidates.

I'm saying Trump wasn't the bad guy, and never was. He is intentionally treated unfairly. Almost all the cases against his "Bad" things are mostly bunk theory crafting and propaganda done by the Liberal run media, social media, various government institutes, academia, and plutocrats who run the country behind the scenes to manipulate people into hating him. Purely because he is an outsider, won't cater to them and actively sabotages their slave labour profits overseas.

I don't care if you don't believe me, but if you want to understand me you have to literally see a waaaaay bigger picture than what you are seeing now. Maybe one day you guys will realize Trump was actually the good guy, but I don't have my hopes up.
