That's why it is really, really important that we protect the integrity of our electoral system, and we manage the abuse of media and social media that results in stolen elections, like Trump and Brexit.

Check out the role of the mainstream UK right wing media in the years before Brexit, and the role of Cambridge Analytica in the Trump result if you need more information.

AndrewJRenko wrote: » No doubt Trump will say it on Thursday night, and he'll be wrong. Brexit was stolen by years of lies in the Daily Heil and the Daily Toreograph, with a little help from the BBC, albeit a little late to the party. Trump was stolen by Cambridge Analytica using stolen data to microtarget voters with lies on Facebook.

I can only imagine if abandoned or destroyed postal votes had been found with Bidens name on it. You would be losing your mind screaming that it was an affront to the sanctity of elections. You keep saying banging on about stolen elections coming from lies... perhaps you are new to politics.

Or making up cute and twee nicknames for biased news outlets that agree with your biased opinion. I can safely say that if any of the above was happening to a side you align with, you'd be ranting and raving calling it an attempt to steal an election.

The rest mainly sound like hurt feelings, and folk being triggered. Proposed DP centre set on fire - no one being prosecuted for that. SF TD's car firebombed - again, who has been prosecuted for that? What's a 'Racist threat' ?.. Doesn't matter - it's more bs.. and 'Violent threats' - most likely made up by Hazel Chu - a professional grievance monger.. And did Izzy Kamikaze do any posturing, intimidating, or throw any punches first? If it was someone else who got their ass handed to them your opinion would most likely be it served them right ; if it was someone doing similar, but not on your side.. The old tactic of who else would it be? gets thrown out a lot, when it suits.. with zero proof :pac: Never heard of Aneta Safiak, or Fiona Ryan, and sure isn't it okay to not like your president.. In another Western Country that I won't name it's okay apparently to say, and carry placards saying fk... , and kill .... . About 4-5,000 miles west of here... But that doesn't count, as it's 'freedom of speech' :rolleyes:
