Instead of asking "Do you believe Joe Biden won the election"?

[LuckyCharms]

Day after day after day after day... this tiresome question, or some form of it, is asked by journalists and others (of both parties).

And it's always some form of the same vague answer: "I think there were problems with the election".

Predictable. Tiresome. Bullshit.

The question should be reframed by using a statement of fact, followed by a simple question:

"Donald Trump failed to provide evidence that the election was stolen by Joe Biden in over 60 court cases. Over 60 cases. SIXTY. Yet, you fail to admit that Joe Biden is the legitimate POTUS. How do you, in your own mind, reconcile this"?

The question "Did Joe Biden win the election" should never be asked again.

[Aristus]

1. Hey, come on! You're asking right-wingers to think! That's not really fair, is it?

[dchill]

2. Instead, how about this: "Is water wet?"

Really back them into a corner!

[onecaliberal]

3. 62 court cases with these bullshit allegations beg to differ.

There were NOT problems with the election. The problem is recons refuse to accept the results of a free and fair election that flatly rejected them.

[IbogaProject]

4. Yep no more questions

Other than how come you have zero proof after over 60 court actions all said election totals were fine and or your election fraud claims were ruled against?

[Blue Owl]

5. More M$M propaganda and brain fuckery

[LakeArenal]

6. Uninformed others like sound bites

They quit listening to your question when you used the word “failed”.

[chouchou]

7. Our so-called "Left-Wing Media"

...need a huge ass whipping. At least verbally.
And after that, kick ass again for calling it Left-wing-media.

[Mad_Machine76]

8. Agreed!

Donald Trump got his day in court 60 times and it's now 3+ years on and no evidence has ever been produced to substantiate claims of any wrongdoing that allowed Biden to win. Anybody claiming otherwise should be labled a "crank" and ignored. It reminds me so much of the whole Obama "birther" claim, which Trump was also at the forefront of back in the day, where Congressmen and other Republicans were asked about whether or not they believed that Obama is a natural-born citizen and the press was never able or willing to demand a straight answer from Republicans about why or why not they believed he is. Just.....make.it.stop.

[BadgerMom]

9. Amen!

[Martin68]

10. My question would be, "Did you vote against approving the electoral count as reported by each state's

duly appointed electoral representatives."

[Harker]

11. Asked and answered... n/t

[Yavin4]

12. Our mainstream media favors beliefs over objective, verfiable truths

Belief in anything cannot overcome objective truth. You can believe that the Eagles beat the NY Jets, but the objective truth is that the Jets defeated the Eagles handing them their lone loss of the season so far.

[RVN VET71]

29. Our mainstream media concern about belief is secondary to the financial needs of its owners

It's concern is to attract readers and viewers so it can sell time and space to advertisers who put money in the corporate vaults of the media owners -- by whatever means necessary, as they say. Sometimes the media stoops to report facts, but only if it sells.

13. ask them if they believe in reality.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

14. The election was certified by 50 out of 50 states. . . . nt

[Shermann]

23. Which of the 50 state certifications should be recertified?

There's the question you want to ask. What you are doing is called "steelmanning". It's pinning the interviewee to a well-defined position, consequences and all.

Stating there are irregularities in national election results is a tautology. There are always some irregularities somewhere on anything that large and complex. There are no consequences to asserting a tautology.

That's not the same as asserting that a state should recertify their results. There are costs to that, both in time and money. There is the risk of completely wasting those resources, and there is an opportunity cost of not focusing those resources elsewhere.

What say ye, Mr. Election Denier?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

28. That's a very good angle and way of looking at it. . . . nt

[Emile]

15. Too hard, too much to remember.

What do you think they are, news reporters or something?

[SouthernDem4ever]

17. lol

[spanone]

16. K&R

[OAITW r.2.0]

18. I concur!

[Wounded Bear]

19. They should ask: "Do you believe that trump lost the election?"

Make them admit it that way. trump is a loser. Always has been.

[Fla Dem]

20. From your lips to every news reporter's ears.

[MadameButterfly]

21. your question should be the follow up question

The first question must be asked, get them on the record, no vague answers accepted. Democrats have the job of making voter understand how dangerous this is.

[LymphocyteLover]

22. I don't know. Weasels will always find some way to weasel out of it. The problem is always a lack of good follow up

[Beartracks]

24. Hey, media: do this! It's what the people want.

[kwolf68]

25. Totally agree

The question normalizes the insanity.

[Joinfortmill]

26. According to Trump's own administration

The 2020 election was the safest,most accurate ever.

[sellitman]

27. The Liberal Press my butt

[twodogsbarking]

30. Biden won. Opinions don't matter.

[LuckyCharms]

31. They kind of do matter when

low-information voters are bombarded with lies from the people who represent them.
