I'm so old, I remember when suggesting that the election could be rigged was considered treason. I wonder what happened between now and three weeks ago to make that change.

Well, no, I guess it isn't really that puzzling. Someone lost an election and is upset about it.

First, no, you are not that old, because there's no point in the history of our republic where that's been the case.

Second, none of this has anything to do with the article we're commenting on. Injecting volatile political arguments into unrelated threads is a form of trolling

Please don't gaslight. The Democrats were saying it literally weeks ago, when Trump was being vague about accepting the results.

We are discussing a claim that the election was rigged, but we're not allowed to argue about claims that the election was rigged?

That is in fact not what we are discussing, as you will discover if you read the article more closely.
