Why do political candidates in USA say...IF i lose its rigged?

@LordShadowfire I'm not sure I follow you there. Are you saying that Democrats, even if they lose, feel like they're articulate?

@MistyCee That's not the kind of being heard I mean. I'm saying Republicans think nobody listens to them.

@LordShadowfire Sighs. You're right, I suppose, but more often than not, I think what they say gets caught through bullshit filters and isn't addressed in a way that their supporters find "acceptable," i.e., treated as legitimate regardless of how crazy or factually unsupported it is.

@MistyCee I know. That's why they don't feel like people hear them, because they spout bullshit. I'm just saying, they're more likely to believe that there's a conspiracy to silence them.

@LordShadowfire I hear you, but having known both Republican and Democratic candidates, I really don't believe that most of them believe as much in a conspiracy to silence them or even the beliefs of their supporters as they pretend to.


The Republicans, by and large, at least the ones I know and can relate to, tend to be less bombastic and revolutionary in terms of fighting against liberal/intellectual/globalist conspiracies and more realistic.

Same thing for the Democrats, although I'll confess, I don't pal around with AOC types.

@MistyCee I guess I should have been more specific. Republican voters are more likely to be gullible enough to fall for the conspiracy bullshit. I very much doubt most Republican politicians actually believe what they are spewing.
