Watch out for the dead vote...

It seem to me a lot of people are preparing a lot of excuses to act in an undemocratic manner in the event of a Biden victory in November.

That’s what your news feed tells you perhaps?

You're the one who watches CNN the whole time, not me.

I'm curious why there's a belief that Democrats are systemically and decisively more immoral than Republicans (in their propensity to cheat in elections).

I wouldn't expect willingness to cheat/lie to be correlated very closely with party affiliation.

One thing that unites the true believers in both parties is the delusion that they are morally superior to the other.

History.

They stole the 1960 election, they'll do it again.

Not least Trump himself. He surely intuits that the majority of Americans don't want him to be president.

You've watched four years of it from the left and have lightly condemned a small fraction of it at best.

That's basically a tautology. The corollary is that those who consider choosing a side to be morally disqualifying, consider their own allegedly unbiased opinions to be superior. Meanwhile, it remains utterly trivial to criticize both sides and refuse to express a preference.

[Doctor Phibes]

My preference is Biden, as should be obvious to anybody, but I don't actively support him. I find the entire election extremely depressing. There's a reason nobody holds 'Pick your favourite turd' competitions.

It's more like urban politicians cheat more.

But that is close to saying democrat.

It's because the democrats have a long history of cheating in elections and supporting causes that are immoral.

Most Republican do not support murdering infants. Most democrats do support murdering infants. That pretty much settles the moral superiority question.

There is a reason people in New Orleans are buried above ground.

It makes it easier to get out the vote...
