It isn't. At most, it is reason to further investigate anomalies at a county or city level, but the fact that we had record high turnout nationally in a year with the most divisive president in a hundred years and the biggest pandemic in a hundred years is not at all surprising.

Moreover, you wouldn't hear conservatives complaining about high turnout if Trump had ultimately prevailed. If the tables were turned, and instead, if the Biden people were doing what Trump is now, conservatives would be having multiple cows saying Biden and his cronies are trying to steal the election.

This is so partisan that I mostly tune it out.
Thanks for confirming that. Exactly what I said.

The large national turnout wouldn't be an issue except that TRUMP also had record numbers. If what had happened - as we were told for months - that many of his former supporters were jumping ship and either voting for Biden or not voting for him at all (not voting for President) and his numbers dropped, then It would make sense. What happened looks fishy, at best.
You truly are lost on this aren’t you?

How long did it take Gore to concede? Was he a sore loser?

Gore list by 500 some votes in Florida, the one state that made the difference in the election. Trump lost by thousands in multiple battleground states.

You really don't see the difference?

Gore lost- even the media said so. He waited I believe 37 days to concede. If you call Trump a crybaby, you must do the same to Gore, unless you are so biased in your political party you can’t see that.

So, record participation in a democratic election looks fishy?

Looks like a successful democracy to me.
Record "enthusiasm" for a candidate who barely got out of the basement? Yes, that sounds fishy. If he was hugely popular in the primary it might have made sense. He barely survived the primary and his running mate was one of the first (or the first?) one OUT. If Trump had actually lost votes vs 2016 and Biden beat him by even a small margin that would have made much more sense.

They turned out in record numbers to vote against the incumbent.

And after the closest election in history, that went to the Supreme Court to eventually be decided, Hore gave a graceful, classy, patriotic concession speech. Do you think we will get that from your candidate?

Not to mention, Gore was waiting for the whole recount fiasco in Palm Beach County. There were several ballots that never were counted. I was blinded by my Bush support at the time, but he stole that election.

Gore was much more classy in a situation where I would not have been.

What actually happened is that at varying points in the night Florida and the race were called for both candidates and then gore conceded and unconceded in short order once it was clear Florida was messed up. Nobody anywhere was running around declaring Bush the president-elect because nobody really knew the outcome. None of that is the case here. It’s totally, 100%, absolutely different.

My candidate? I didn’t vote for either. I’m just calling out hypocrisy.

I remember Gore complaining quite a bit actually, even after conceding. Perhaps not that night, but certainly after (constantly reminding people he won the popular vote- which he did, although not a majority, no candidate did).

Brian Stelter on his Sunday Show “Reliable Sources” (11/29) called out Maria Bartilomo for her long interview with Trump that same morning. Said Trump was not lying as usual but rather had advanced into a delusional state of mind. Which she did not challenge with fact-based follow up questions but shockingly let stand unchallenged, and in some instances echoed Trump’s outrage to his delusions.

Uh, once again, we have a journalist, Stelter, refusing to utter the words “mentally ill” regarding Trump’s words and behaviors.
Like other real journalists (as opposed to Bartolomo’s new TV host duties) Stelter pussy foots around the obvious by using words like delusional, unstable, truth challenged, eratic, chaotic, etc. to describe Trump’s illness symptoms.

When are these journalists in the main stream media (as opposed to the stinking stagnant pond media) going to question Trump’s mental health as he sinks deeper into delusion?
