(7,789 posts)If the majority of DU thinks Clinton lost in the electoral college, then there wouldn't be a strong push to examine just how convenient for Trump the voting in four states was. Thinking that Clinton was covered in slurs for the entire campaign, which is true, makes it easier to believe that she actually lost, although she won the popular vote handily. And in a large handful of states the final vote count looked fishy as hell.
And we don't know: we have no way of checking elections for accuracy, especially the 29% of votes which generate no paper. We are not going to get our elections cleaned up if most people believe they could not actually be stolen. I see just as much resistance to the thought of actual election theft on DU as in the general population.
All segments of the population would rather think about sexism (which is real), or media malfeasance (which is real) or weak messages (debatable) or ANYTHING rather than talk about stolen elections, at which a hell of a lot of evidence points.
