I've seen a lot of election denialism after the most recent Republican wins. Not equal amounts to after Republican loss, not even close, but still a noticeable amount.
Notably, though, not from anyone really in a leadership position. Where's Biden calling a governor and asking him to help him out, just a little? Where's the senators and party board screaming about it?
That's true
Folk on the internet will say a lot of stupid shit without evidence to back it up, that's why "a lot of people are saying" should be a statement that carries a significant amount of skepticism and doubt. I don't see much actual denialism coming from Democratic leadership.
The infuriating, part is that I expect the Dem leadership to at least be interested enough in knowing the truth to investigate and uncover facts that could lead to credible accusations of election interference. The yokels online are gonna be mad no matter what, but did the party really expect the guy who credibly cheated in the last two elections to not cheat again? ESPECIALLY since he was specifically not punished for it despite being found guilty? I hate that the smallest hint of truth-seeking efforts gets shot down as some kind of betrayal of party morals.
It’s not really denialism when there’s evidence. Verify the evidence.
It’s only denialism when it’s irrational and not based on coherent arguments. (Ie. Trump in 2020)
