When Obama won 2008, I did not like him. I found him sneaky and I had dreadful fear of his healthcare plans, which ended up screwing me over even more violently than I imagined.
Still, I saw that he had charisma and a strong message. Hope and change. First black president. Someone that wasn't Bush - and Bush made terrible mistakes. People liked him. Loved him. It was clear he would win.
When he won, I posted that I was proud of USA for electing a black president even if I didn't trust him. I wasn't thrilled with the results, and had good reason to fear for my life due to my illness, but I still could appreciate that the people had spoken.
Obama won again in 2012. Same story. Romney did gain traction due to some bad Obama policies and distrust that had grown against Obama, but he wasn't a strong enough, charismatic enough, loved enough candidate to win. He had no strong message.
Then in comes Clinton and Trump. I thought Clinton would win, but lo and behold, the stronger personality with the stronger message won - just like before. Clinton called for a recount and those votes ended up going *against* her. The people had spoken.
This time, it makes no sense. The Democrats ran on the same message as last time: "Orange man bad." "Repeat Obama's failed policies." They had no clear message except "covid bad."
I do think covid cost Trump many votes. It was predicted though, that if we handled covid perfectly, we would lose 200k people. And many are aware of those figures.
Biden eked his way to the frontrunner position despite that no one had enthusiasm about him. He ran on a campaign of fear Covid and hate Trump, with no strong personality and very weak delivery, replete with racist remarks and obvious scandals. Harris had no support in the primaries. His rallies were pathetic, and he mostly stayed home.
Meanwhile, Trump would give up to five rallies in a day. He was everywhere, meeting people directly. His record was excellent, he pulled out of wars, facilitated peace in the middle east, had the lowest black unemployment rate ever, and an ongoing extensive list of amazing, unprecedented accomplishments. He ran on a platform of his own amazing accomplishments, with a strong personality. He rallied. He fought. There were enthusiastic rallies for him all over the country, even in heavily blue areas. He picked up enthusiasm from Blacks, Latinos, and even had some LGBT's -- gay people on the streets fighting for him.
So what gives?
It is no mystery why people think this election was rigged. Many of us were not happy with Obama but we sighed and conceded. I did not even vote for McCain, nor for Trump in 2016. But this time Trump had a strong record that spoke for itself. And the voice of the people spoke for itself.
The inevitable Biden victory is all part of a farce. They want to keep us on our toes while the numbers are neck to neck. By the time this is all over, regardless who wins, everyone will be at each other's throats.
This is not a normal election and the result makes no sense. America likes strong personalities. The many previous election results prove this. We like a strong, clear message. We like voting for the guy that our side actually chose. Our votes follow the enthusiasm for candidates that you see on the grassroots level.
Right now that did not happen and our faith in the system is undermined. Even those on the left already had their faith undermined when Biden stole the election from Bernie and other candidates that they preferred.
Regardless what side you're on, I think we can all agree that something is not right. This election was stolen (first from Bernie and others and now quite possibly from Trump) - and there is a reason for that. Someone benefits from it.
Stay alert.
