Democrats love to smear republicans as election deniers, but Dems are always guilty too.

Hillary did it when she lost to trump. She revived Mccarthyist-style (false) accusations of labeling people as "Russian assets" or "Putin puppets." She maintains her unfounded convictions to this day- that the election wasn't authentic, that it was tampered by the big bad evil Boogeyman from Russia. Throughout Trump's term the Dem party tried to deligitimize him and promoted his censorship from social media while he was in office, preventing ordinary people from hearing the messages of a sitting President.

So yeah, Democrats will definitely cry that they were wronged by imaginary forces when they lose. It couldn't ever possibly be that working class citizens don't trust them.

And before any of you smooth-brained boot licking liberals start calling me a Trumper, I'm a socialist and haven't supported either of the two rotten parties.

Improper influence (Hillary’s claim) vs. fraudulent ballots and vote counts (Trump). If you cant see the massive, huge difference, then you’re not very bright. And Putin did try to influence the vote, and still is. And Trump still has an unseemly relationship with Putin. But that’s not saying that the actual ballots cast for Trump were fraudulent. Get it? No? Well, good luck.

Thanks for demonstrating my point!

I hope you’re never called to serve on a jury, because you’re incapable of wrapping your head around facts. Fine, working class citizens don’t trust the Dems sometimes. Trump won. That still has no bearing on the fact only one side claims (Trump has been doing this since 2012, actually) that non-existent people cast votes. My guess is you “believe” that too, and all the rest of your deflection is a smokescreen.

I don't think we've even seen a candidate be up by 200-500k votes in a state and come out the loser the next morning. The reason for that is b/c we've never had universal mail in voting before.

Reword this somehow because people don’t understand the point that you are making. You are correct, but it’s not clear in your explanation. I have upvoted you because I understand what you wrote.
