Accept both results
Accept Trump win, doubt Biden win
Accept Biden win, doubt Trump win
Doubt both results
It's a Guy Ritchie flick where competing groups of thieves are trying to steal the same thing
i am the 2% of trump voters who would only accept a biden victory
Honestly the 1% of Biden voters who would only accept a Trump victory is crazier.
this is categorized by their 2020 vote, presumably they were the fabled Undecideds
Yeah the proportion of the adult population who won't or legally can't vote in so-called democracies in the west is fucking huge. In the last US election Biden won with about 24% of the total population voting for him (81 million votes in a country of about 332 million people). In the last UK election the tories had roughly 20% of the total UK population vote for them, and in Canada Trudeau and his lot got about 14% of the total population's vote. It's kind of shocking when you actually look at how little of a country supporting a party it takes to claim democratic legitimacy.
On a related note, a fixture of reactionary culture war bullshit across the west has been to make it harder and harder to become a citizen. This is going to lead to an increasing number of residents in Western countries being disenfranchised.
It's me the Joe Biden voter who thinks Joe Biden rigged it. Then again it's probably because I'm not American and voted 35 times.
A few years ago there was a study where something like 20% of Biden voters said they where “not sure” whether he’s the head of a pedophile cabal.
Who do I vote for, Bernie or the guy that eats the babies?
To be fair, it's not like he passes the sniff test. And by "the sniff test," I mean he can't not sniff tween girls at public gatherings.
It is a harm reducing pedophile cabal. Do you really think Trump would be a better pedophile?
If non-citizen voters are voting for Biden, I hope that they aren't doing that shit for free and that Biden is paying them!
Honestly it's kinda weird to keep asking us if we think it's gonna be rigged 🤔
You don't think I'm planning on murdering you, do you?
No, right?
Are you sure?
Even the most brainwormed people know deep down that the US is an oligarchy
Exactly one fifth of respondents were neither Biden or Trump voters. Among this invisible category, 25% opted "doubt both results".
I legitimately respect "whatever the government says is probably bullshit" way more than all the liberal pontificating about norms or whatever.
it sounds like the best way to preserve faith in democracy is to vote for trump
Telling libs to vote Trump to preserve democracy is a great bit
Sweaty 💅 you're a child, the adults are talking and we know four years of pain is worth the next thousand years of the Republic
If Biden wins then 57% of those surveyed would accept the results. If Trump wins, 63% of those surveyed would accept the results. So Trump is the better option for social cohesion?
Also it's funny that almost half of the Biden voters would accept either results. If Dems were smart they would tap into that and push them to doubt more. But they're credulous dupes so they all "Well I guess the Fascist won fair and square, we must accept this!"
Doing that would delegitimize the institutions the Democrats depend on for legitimacy. Not the thing to do when you are the party of order, even if it's a failing order.
I think they mean accept as in their belief whether the results were rigged or not. Like the January 6th insurrection. I don't think they mean accept as in "oh, this is completely fine!".
Shoutouts to the 2% of Russiagate Rs and the 1% of StopTheSteal Ds
Yeah is that sliver saying they’re going to vote for Biden but doubt it if he wins? Lol
“I’m voting for Joe Biden, and I also think he’s going to steal the election, but that’s a good thing”?
Look, if the guy is able to steal an election he's clearly the strongest and most ruthless of the two. I'll rather be on his side than be with the loser nerds.
The bottom label is their previous vote, not planned next vote
"Biden/Trump's fucked and the only way for him to win is to cheat"?
Are there polls like this for previous elections? Was it always this bad?
I don't have data to back it up, but seriously doubting the legitimacy of a presidential election was just not a thing before 2000
That's not true, it's happened before. The 1876 election for instance was highly contentious and I believe the first time a candidate won the popular vote without winning (Samuel J. Tilden from the Democrats). The election was disputed over a number of things regarding voter fraud, including accusations of disenfranchising black voters. Rutherford B. Hayes ended up winning through a compromise with the electoral commission, in what's called the Compromise of 1877.
Basically, democrats agreed to cede victory to the republicans if union troops were pulled out of the south and reconstruction ended. This was honestly a very shitty idea because it directly led to Jim Crow laws and the structure of segregation that would last until the 1960s.
Hayes was popularly regarded as a fake president in the south, only given the presidency through backroom deals instead of appointment by the consent of voters. The newspapers called him "Rutherfraud B. Hayes" which is honestly a pretty good dunk on his name
Basically, democrats agreed to cede victory to the republicans
Tale as old as time
New Phase of the Cool Zone dropping. Institutional Legitimacy? What is that?
