4. They didn't "scare" Democrats into not counting the vote.

I'm surprised that you're repeating this, Rzemanfl. I know you don't like what the Russians and their sympathizers here are up to.

Haven't you noticed a pattern in the message that losing an election = weakness and cowardice, but ONLY if we are the ones who lost? Imo, letting frustration lead us into that trap is classic useful idiot behavior, and I know you don't want that.

You can't get much more disrespectful than not allowing their vote to count!
