With how much fog there is around elections, "concerns" surrounding mail-in voting they've been stoking the embers on for years, electronic voting with no paper trail, straight up stealing of ballots, etc, that we know is going on, there's so much bs we don't know about that I can't see a scenario in which Biden clearly won as you say. Exit polls will be branded fake news, results as fraudulent. We won't even know if it's true, really.
I think for me it comes down to what will democrats do about it? They sure as hell aren't going to mobilize their base into mass action. Are they going to contest the legitimacy of the supreme court? I think they want to avoid that at all costs because it threatens the wider American political project and potentially their class hegemony. I mean just look how they did absolutely nothing for the confirmation this week. So how do they negotiate their need to support the legitimacy of political institutions with a desire to defeat Trump?
Personally I think it's unlikely to come to that point. I don't think Republicans who actually matter see Trump as the person to push things to the limit for. At a certain level I think they'll accept that a Biden admin will be more than tolerable on a material level. But hey we'll find out in a week.
Wut? The whole thing was about how he stole the election. They called Gore the winner on all major news networks and then switched once Fox News changed and liberals cried about the election being stolen for months and then didn’t do shit about it. Once bush became president they gave him more power than they’ve ever given to the executive branch.
