    Whataboutism isn’t a great argument, which is why you lead with “Prove it. Like this…”

      yeah, I like my idea for the template crossover but the joke itself isn’t stellar, I agree.
      I’m willing to do it again if you guys suggest a better one tho

        “Both sides commited voter fraud”

        “There’s only evidence you committed fraud”

          Okay, let’s take it to court. If you’re right, you’ll win and if you’re lying you’ll go to prison.

            He’s not going to prison for lying about there being voter fraud, that’s not a crime. It’s just normal political dishonesty. What he’s going to prison for (in Georgia) is corruptly demanding that the Georgia state government “find him” votes and committing assorted crimes related to his attempts to fix the election.

        Orange Man Mad is still worth it, and I think you nailed it otherwise. It’s just always worth challenging these claims directly.

      I LOVE the surprise Pikachu face conservatives get when they say, “Yea, well, let’s charge Obama and Clinton, too!” and we respond with, “YES!! Please, if you can prove a crime, do it. The president shouldn’t be above the law.”

        They really can’t handle the idea we don’t worship “”“”““our””“”" politicians like they do. I’m like, bitch we hate ours more than you hate them. We just hate yours more.

      Yes, totally. And we aren’t having any preferences. The reason Democrats haven’t been going to jail for stuff like this is that they’re not stupid enough to try to overturn an election using illegal measures.

    If you want to claim voter fraud, you have to find the votes that were illegally casted. I haven’t seen one vote, let alone hundreds of thousands of votes wrongfully casted.

      There were quite a few … cast for Trump. No direct conspiracy, just old assholes doing sh*t like voting with relatives’ cards and double-voting, etc. The petty individual crap.

      Trump tried the coordinated stuff, though, hence mugshot…
