I am hearing this circular argument all over the place

The thesis is that Trump will look like he has a landslide on election night via post-election polling but the mail in ballots will tilt back over to Biden and this could create a political/information vacuum

Surely the American election system accounts for this and you have a deadline of mail-in ballots to arrive and at X time on X days after the election the winner is declared

My initial thought process is that the Dems are flooding this propaganda as information warfare to prepare to essentially coup the government and throw Trump out even if he wins (which I think will be likely)

    Christopher Steele (who leaked that Trump may have been peed on) turned out to be paid by Clintons to dig up dirt on Trump

    The report was full of shit and Mueller took a dressing down in public

    Mueller testifying was actually painful to watch as his lies were called out

    So whilst now it’s proven that the idea Russia tampered with the US elections is a joke (at least no actual plausible evidence has come out) it has been quite damaging for Trump.

    Honestly I believe the US is going to experience their CIA tactics coming home at this election - the bourgeois have decided that another 4 years of Trump is unacceptable

      All I’m seeing is that you admit they fumbled at creating a narrative people would listen to multiple times because they do a horrible job and are always caught (I agree with this!) and you still think they’re these puppetmasters of American democracy because Russiagate “did damage” (that you can’t quantify) to Trump.

      You want to know who else has friends in the CIA? The guy who appointed the current head of the CIA. That man? Donald Trump.

        Lol no they didnt fumble

        Maybe in the eyes of the politically tuned in

        Go ask your average Dem voter if they think Russia “interfered or hacked” the 2016 election

        They will tell you Trump is in Putins pocket
