Why not more discussion of Greg Palast's compelling case that GOP stole 2016 election?

73. That is where you are wrong friend

First of all, I took pains to talk everyone everyone of your points regardless of how lame I thought some of them to be and I thought I did darn good job. I note that you are evidently unable to counter my arguments point by point, but let's let that go. Let's instead explore your present one.

These people aren't concentrating on calling for investigations into what they regard as suspicious situations. (And if they were who in the hell of any importance did they expect was going pay any attention to what they write on DU?) No, apparently they passionately believe without any solid evidence that the election was stolen and they trying to convince others of the same. That's called pushing conspiracy theories.

If you don't believe me, you need only to re-read the OP. Written cloudythescribbler, it is entitled, "Why not more discussion of Greg Palast's compelling case that GOP stole 2016 election: The following are the 2nd and 3rd paragraphs of the OP copied and pasted without alteration from the original post:

"the seven million disqualified votes includes hundreds of thousands of voters in the 3 key swing states where there is a recount push

these states are particularly intense venues of these cheating schemes as they are Republican-controlled and key swing states"


The following are the last three paragraphs from the OP:
"so now the 2000 election, 2004 and 2016 have been stolen

the idea that if the GOP gets close enough to stealing an election that it is normally possible (with heavier and heavier thumbs on the scale) to steal it, then they get to do so, with a minimum of fuss being made"

and obviously things will only get MUCH worse now in terms of honest voting"

This guy isn't trying call attention to possible problem so it can be investigated. Any one who has a brain and who can read can tell tell the difference between whether cloudythescribbler is having "logical doubts" or if he is trying to convince others the election was stolen. This guy is flat out saying that the election was stolen.

When someone categorically makes those kinds of charges and without evidence to back them up, they are dealing with conspiracy theories.

Do your really think this OP would have been posted on DU if Hillary had won? However, I can almost guarantee that some right wing Trumpsters would be making similar arguments if Trump had lost. Heck, Trump is claiming the election was rigged because he didn't win the popular vote. Isn't it interesting that conspiracy theories are only pushed by the losing side? I guess some people find solace by choosing to believe that the election was stolen.
