Well votes were counted, and even states run up and down by Democrats like PA and MI were lost. tritsofme Feb 2025 #63

You cannot count votes that were suppressed by voter suppression... SnoopDog Feb 2025 #65

Why did the Democrats who run those states suppress votes? tritsofme Feb 2025 #66

They didn't. It was republican operatives... SnoopDog Feb 2025 #67

So your argument is that the Democrats who run those states are so incompetent tritsofme Feb 2025 #68

Your 'dems run the state' is a canard... SnoopDog Feb 2025 #69
