    Well, it's not the same candidates this time; I don't see how any votes are "missing." Second, a lot happened since 2020. Should we ignore inflation, border issues, and other things people have said were key to them in 2024? Third, from what I'm seeing, the difference in the number of votes that Biden got in 2020 versus Harris in 2024 is currently about half that number.

    yes. Let's ignore the kind of stuff that drives ppl to the polls, because...that would be inconvenient.

    Let's also ignore Oprah, and Queen B, and Billionaire record breaking pop star Taylor Swift, rallying her captive audience of hundreds of millions to the polls...let's forget Bruce Springsteen and Lady Gaga, and SLN, and all the rest of the uber doober cool celebs calling for their minion fans to storm the polls to keep Trump out of office... and of course the uge'l characters like Barry, Michell O., Sillary n Billy Bob...

    We need only focus on Rock Star Doh! Biden who commands such a compelling presence, that back in '20, when he was on top of his game, he once got like 25 cars to show up to hear him talk! TWENTY FIVE, bro!

    ...and parlayed THAT uber compelling rocket stardom, into ....

    80 million votes!

    LOL!

    ...gets me every time...

    I'm sure you were cheering Obama on in that debate. LOL! Hypocrite much? Or do we just call this partisan logic?

    Ridge was questioning the accuracy of the story. If Putin's aide said it, it's accurate, right?

    I am not ignoring celebrities and don't understand your point on that. Hillary and Biden both had a lot of celebrity support in 2016 and 2020. Different outcomes. To the extent celebrity support makes a material difference, worth noting that Trump had vocal support this year from Elon Musk, Joe Rogan, and others.

    Biden won in 2020, and Trump won in 2024. I haven't seen any credible evidence of widespread voter fraud in either election. Is the argument that the deep state rigged the 2020 election but then decided to let Trump win in 2024? How would that make sense? Isn't the more simple explanation more likely - that Democrats just had a bad year for various reasons? I don't think conspiracy theories are helpful for either side, but I completely understand why our autocratic adversaries want Americans to lose confidence in our voting system. Occam's Razor.

    I was hoping we could get past unnecessary insults such as Doh Biden and sKamala. I'm having to bite my tongue, too.

    And then Obama/Biden, with SOS Hillary Clinton making over one hundred million dollars on that the super secret Uranium One deal. They sold Russia and Putin 20% of our Uranium Ore, and they still had the nerve to call Trump a Putin puppet.... PROJECTING.

    I thought you guys were always hot for some "Russia Disinformation." Now you're quoting it and have flipped the script?

    That makes no sense. You act as though prior, potential misinformation statements were not discussed here.

    Has anyone on this thread (to date) claim the aide's statements were true?

    Please leave the poor straw man alone. He's worn out.

    Look. The answer is obvious. Why would an old white dude get 20M more votes than a younger minority woman by one particular party?

    Simple. Racist misogyny. ;)

    Wait, now you're talking about Biden's last 4 years? Back to Russia.

    For 8 years, the left has clung to the intelligence community's Russian disinformation narrative used against Trump. Now, you are trusting the Russians with information against Trump? Classic.

    You never answered my question nor does it appear that you even comprehended it. Which words confused you?

    Who on this thread has indicated they believe the aide's comments?

    You think he is a reliable source? Trustworthy? Is that it? So now Russia ISNT spreading misinformation? No this Putin ally and Russian news outlet are above board?
    If “ he said it” is the only litmus test yall better be ready to allow any and all twitter posts where the originator “said it” whether it’s true or not.

    ANYONE else, a dem or a republican, would never be able to work past a statement like that, yet he's had who knows how many of them! It's so rediculous.

    Would you agree that "unsubstantiated rumor" and "statement from a government official" are two different things?
