Count every "legal" vote is the new RW mantra

[bluecollar2]

Repeated ad nauseum by every RW pundit and politician...just the latest republican communication point.

I'm still waiting to hear our response.

This is why we "have a messaging problem"

On edit:

I should have added that our unanimous and consistent response should be, "Every legal vote was counted. Prove me wrong or shut up."

1. We DID and they lost!

2. All votes matter. The right should recognize this kind of framing.

And I hope it pisses them off.

3. All votes matter?

Sounds a little nebulous to me...the phrase "all votes matter" opens the door for the RW to take control of the conversation....

[Efilroft Sul]

11. Well, it all depends on how it's said, and sarcasm doesn't play well in text sometimes.

So it has to be said verbally, mockingly, with regard to their "All Lives Matter" bullshit used to belittle and diminish "Black Lives Matter."

But, yeah, I dig your point, bluecollar2.

12. It's cool

The point I was trying to make, and I know you get me....

Is that it's time to stop dealing with nuance...it's lost on this crowd.

As long as they exist in their current formulation we can't give an inch.

[Efilroft Sul]

13. Totally get you.

Cheers to you (wish I had beer!).

4. By every "Legal" vote they mean every Republican Vote

They sure are stoopid!

[captain queeg]

9. Exactly. They can't say that out loud. I wonder how many trump votes are questioned during recount?

5. We've counted the legal votes once, counted them twice...

three times, in some places four and five times. And the same results keep coming up: Trump lost, get over it!
!Would be ironic to use the GOP political slogans from Bush v Gore era back at them.

6. Trump lost...Get over it...

I hear you but it doesn't have that "cut" to it...

[andym]

8. Yup --needs that added touch. Thanks!

Edited to put it in.

7. White, male, land-owners. As far as the "Founding Fathers" were concerned...

That is what makes a legal voter.

And this is, essentially, what Republicans consider to be legal voters too.

10. "The only LEGAL vote is a TRUMP vote"

[Crunchy Frog]

14. I agree that we have a messaging problem.

It feels like we're just ceding the whole narrative to the Trump party with no pushback. We should be putting out our own very clear narrative and hammering it every chance we get.
