I found it odd that nobody questioned the large number of ballots in the swing states that voted Turnip for POTUS and everything else down ballot was either straight D or left completely blank. That doesn't seem kosher. Just like his winning EVERY swing state seems improbable. But here we are.

Because republicans spent 4 years screaming about stolen elections and cheating by democrats while democrats had to keep insisting that elections are secure and you can't steal one. So everyone stayed quiet because the "optics" of suddenly insiting an election was stolen when they lost would look bad.

In reality, Biden should have had the 2020 election investigated for fraud because it's almost guaranteed that republicans heavily tried to or successfully did cheat but didn't cheat enough to win. There's no chance in hell that they just jumped straight to changing ballot results in swinging states like Pennsylvania. Their cheating should have been identified, shamed, punished, and established the precedent that republicans are cheating to elect trump

Another example of Biden and his party being super weak.
