And in the morning they accepted that. The talking heads on TV were just following the numbers in real-time.
We then had four years of "not my President" BS to listen to, and some of
the ones I knew honestly thought that Trump didn't win. Others came up with some less far-out, but still far-out, reasons why Hillary didn't win.
I don't know anyone who thought that Trump didn't win. Hillary lost, and of course there are reasons she lost. One of them might even have been the announcement of an FBI investigation right before the election.
Four years later, folks from the same side as those disillusioned Democrats cannot understand why Gregory claims that Biden is not his President. I am certain that they didn't give their fellow Democrats the same level of grief.
It's different because to the Democrats, at least the ones I know, "not my president" means "Yes, he's president, but I didn't vote for him and wash my hands of anything he does," whereas to people like Gregory, "not my president" means "He was fraudulently elected and is an illegitimate president." The difference is subtle, but see if you can spot it.
You seem to be confusing cause and effect again. The election-night punditry did not affect the vote count; the vote count affected the election-night punditry.
Wow, that's quite a statement. There are a lot of examples to counter it, but I'll go with Jimmy Carter, who donates time and money to Habitat for Humanity and expects nothing in return.
And in the morning they accepted that. The talking heads on TV were just following the numbers in real-time.No they did not, or we'd never heard the phrase "not my President!"
I do. I know some who spent those next four years arguing about it on social media and, I would assume, in person.

You seem to be confusing cause and effect again. The election-night pund did not affect the vote count; the vote count affected the election-nigh punditry.I would 100% agree if the punditry did not start before the polls were closed across the country. For years now, they barely wait for 6PM ET before they start. The "new channel" era has done nothing but make this worse.
Wow, that's quite a statement. There are a lot of examples to counter it I'll go with Jimmy Carter, who donates time and money to Habitat for Hum and expects nothing in return.That is a good example. I would point out, though, that Jimmy is one individual. I cannot see political groups, or groups of politicians, doing so when it comes to policy, just as you probably have difficulty believing that corporate groups would do so.
The two events are hardly the same.

The vast majority of people would have voted before 6pm on election night, and those in line would probably not be watching TV anyway.

The various aspects of the social safety net are an example of legislation that helps the underprivileged while expecting nothing in return.

In both cases, those politicians and corporations do indeed expect things in return. Certainly you are not that naive.That is a good example. I would point out, though, that Jimmy is o individual.

On 05 Sep 2022, Mike Powell said the following...The only difference is that Democrats were in denial during one event,
Hardly.The two events are hardly the same.As I predicted, more leeway. They were the same.
and Republicans are in denial in the other. I say they were/are both in denial. You only want to call one out. No surprise.

I don't think so.
In my state, the majority of votes were turned in well before election d People voting on election day faced > 3hr. wait times.2020 was abnormal, but my claim is they've been doing it "for years now," not just 2020 and since. Most years before 2020, people were not off
work early enough to be in line at 3pm, and most areas outside of the Pacific NW had in-person voting.
Politicians expect things in return. If we were talking "Republican politicians" only, this discussion would not be so pointless because the one of us that won't admit the obvious here would.In both cases, those politicians and corporations do indeed expect thingsI don't think so.

Clinton conceded and Democrats were not in denial about the results of
the election. Those are two very big differences. Clinton was not
holding rallies two years after the election claiming that it was stolen from her, and members of Congress were not publicly floating the idea
that she had actually won. The scale of the reactions to the two events was very, very different.

"What Really Really Happened" ... and so on. If the Republicans take the house we can at least have a real examination of January 6th... testimony with cross examination...

Simply asking "What happened?" indicates an intention to move on beyond denial. It's a post-mortem-type analysis of the campaign, in a "where did *we* go wrong" sense, a "why did we lose?" sense. It's introspective.
Simply asking "What happened?" indicates an intention to move on beyond denial. It's a post-mortem-type analysis of the campaign, in a "where di *we* go wrong" sense, a "why did we lose?" sense. It's introspective.Except that she is still blaming others, as evidenced in her CBS
interview just this week, which is not at all introspective and does not show any intention to move on beyond denying that maybe no one is to
blame but herself.
It is always male voters or MAGA or deplorables or anyone else but
herself or her campaign. It is never "we spent too much time preaching
to the faithful while calling others names, and while Trump hit the up-for-grabs areas we should have also been hitting."
Ironically, some of those things are the things that Trump still won't acknowledge about the 2020 election... that they also spent too much time preaching to their faithful while not spending enough time on the Independents and Democrats that voted for them in 2016.
Did Trump ever seriously ask "What happened?" No, he went straight to baseless conspiracy theories blaming his loss on others. Every conspiracy theory he espoused involved him actually winning the election but being thwarted by ne'er-do-wells from the opposing party. He never stopped to ask what, if anything, he and his campaign might have done wrong to lose the election. It's just blame, blame, blame someone else. That's denial.
Ample evidence the last election was stolen...
People pulling suitcases out from under tables...
Mark with his Zucker-Bucks... and the same said person telling everyone that they worked in conjunction with the FBI to suppress Hunter's Laptop...

There were Republicans that wanted to be a part of the committee but were not
allowed to.
Trump suggested beforehand that the National Guard be deployed.
He cannot do that himself.
Those who could decided it was not necessary.

Nope. I'm glad that you agree that Trump lost, but Trump himself does not believe that, nor do a certain csubset of his supporters.
Trump does not believe that those are reasons that he lost, because he does not believe that he lost.
Clinton, whether she believes she lost or not, also does not believe that those are the reasons she lost... still.
