Trump's election lies are an attempted coup. Biden/ Dems should say so

[Crepitus]

Already a pissy pants thread on this.............

Let us call the trump tantrum what it REALLY WAS....an attempted Coup!

Trump Ballots Defaulted and Switched to Biden Votes on Dominion System: Maricopa GOP Chairwoman

Just a nitpick ... challenging the election in a court of law is lawful ... all of us would be entitled to this option ... all of this is within the US Constitution ...

Meh - Nobody has ever filed 40+ lawsuits after an election and lied to the American people to the extent this wannabe prick-tater has.
He's one for 40. Can you imagine a MLB team keeping a pitcher with a 0.025 average or even sending him back out to the mount after say 10 straight losses?
He is also twisting the arms of governors and secretaries of state. Absolutely unethical.
The time has come - That time is NOW

Doesn't make it illegal ... now does it? ... MLB teams have been known to send outfielders to the pitcher's mound ... no rule against it ...

But you're okay with the VP of the USA using the powers of his office to get his children jobs in corrupt third world nations ... perhaps yours isn't the ethical values we should aspire to ...

He lawsuits have not matched his rhetoric. He's lied to the American public about this all day every day for weeks now. Your comment about Joe Biden is fake news.

Words have meaning. It’s not a coup. It’s just Trump being the same inveterate liar he has always been. It may destabilize and delegitimize the nation, but that’s basically been his play the whole time.

Not a coup.

Obama, Biden, Rice, Comey, Stzrok, Brennan, and McCabe are the coup-plotters. Did I leave out someone ?

Yes, you forgot to implicate Donald Duck, Moby Dick and the windmill that looks suspiciously like a giant.

I think he's just cheating and running to the courts to get his way like he's always done. The real leaders and officials of the government aren't letting him get away with it this time, so he's throwing a full blown tantrum.

That's all.

How is using the legal process cheating?

It's amazing how one sides love of resistance goes away when it's the one being resisted.

SO true - And enough is ENOUGH!

President Donald Trump is not trying to simply undermine President-elect Joe Biden's presidency, nor is he primarily trying to position himself for a 2024 presidential run, as many have suggested. No, Trump's No. 1 goal is to overturn the results of the 2020 election. It's time for Biden and other Democratic leaders to describe his actions in the most forceful and universally understandable language possible. And that means, in this case, calling them part of an attempted coup to illegally overthrow the Biden presidency.​

​

In the past few days, several experts have noted that Trump's actions do not technically constitute a "coup" in the academic sense. According to Michael Albertus, an associate professor of political science at the University of Chicago, for example, a coup "typically connotes a violent takeover of government." Yet these same experts warn that Trump's actions are a threat to our democracy.​

​

Regardless of how you define the word, now is not the time for academic debates. Trump's wildly effective communications strategy proves that sometimes simpler is better. Biden's response, in contrast, has been far too careful and far too polite. On Thursday, Biden called Trump's efforts to undermine the election results "totally irresponsible," adding that his message to immigrants worried about Trump's electoral attacks was "Hang on. I'm on my way." Other leading Democrats have, for the most part, followed Biden's lead.​

​

This message is not surprising given Biden's campaign strategy, which emphasized unity. Such sentiment was also at the heart of Biden's victory speech Nov. 7. But it is nevertheless a very bad strategy.​

​

Italy's Benito Mussolini and Russia's Vladimir Putin amassed power through bullying. These types of leaders treat silence or muted responses as a sign of weakness, emboldening them to push further with their authoritarian goals.​

I didn't say it was. I listed two things he's doing right now (1) cheating and (2) running to the courts like he's always done.

The world is watching the left try and steal a landslide win away from the American president....just like in Venezuela.....and Iran.......and Russia.....and China.......if they succeed it will mean the end of the dem party as we know it.....

If you think about the question long enough, maybe you arrive at your answer. Like a well reasoned Zen Monk. "Why aren't they stating is as so publicly and loudly"?

I only ask the questions, I leave it to you, to find the answer...

You don't care because you got the result you wanted, and even if actual evidence is thrust in your face you will find a way to ignore it, because for progressive losers like you, the ends always justify the means.

He’s not being cheated. He just can’t accept he lost. This is what he does. Nothing new.
