Thanks for your honest answer, but how do you view the fact that he refused to accept defeat and tried to undermine the country's democracy? Does that concern you? Honest question from a non- American.
Not to pull a whataboutism, but this happened in 2016 as well. Claims of Russian hacks and election fraud from the left, and the infamous "Here's how Bernie can still win" meme that we all know and love.
It doesn't excuse it from the right, but it's not a uniquely partisan issue.
Well, first you did exactly pull a whatabout-ism.
More importantly though, the democrats claimed those were the things that caused them to lose the vote. They did not claim they did win, and those things were the things that point out that they did win.
"These are the things that made us lose" =/= "These are the reasons we didn't lose"
