Democrats Only: If Donald Trump Wins the Presidential Election, Should We Accept the Results?

[Frodo]

Just asking.

[DrScholl]

There's not really a choice to accept them which is why it's so important to win the election. Of course if there is real tampering with results (I think that is possible with how desperate Republicans are) then the results should be challenged.

[ProudModerate2]

Of course, Yes.
I won't like it. Not even a-little bit.
And I fear he will do things that will jeopardize our democracy.

Assuming it's not some kind of state legislature coup and an actual legitimate victory, then yes, we will have to accept the consequences America has brought onto itself and hope for the best.

Ultimately, there are millions of people living in China, Russia, and other countries who figure out how to be happy despite not living in a free country, and we'll have to try to see if we can too.

I don't think a lot of those people are even happy they just know how to stay alive. Living in China and Russia means not antagonizing the government.

Trump is more like Berlusconi, Netanyahu or at worst a Yeltsin(though even the latter is going to far) than Xi or Putin .

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Users need to stop worrying Biden is gonna win reelection, the polls just try to make it look competitive we went thru the same thing in 22, it depends on the S it's gonna come down to MD and Trone and MT Tester and how they do

Polls lie do you believe that voters trust Trump on economy 53 percent no they don't , when we go to the voting booth that number is gonna go way DOWN, because Trump wants to renew his tax cuts

[TechbroMBA]

Why did Independents vote if it was for Democrats only?

Do you think Netanyahu would outright deny it if he loses in Israel's next general election? Would he try dozens of frivolous lawsuits to get himself declared the winner (as in not extra recounts or whatever, just a judicial coup on the people)? After those failed, would he send a violent mob to the Knesset to try to overthrow the Israeli government by force?

I don't think he would. Netanyahu is beyond terrible, but he's not on Trump's level. Putin and Xi, however, would have no qualms about using violence to hold on to power if that's what it took.

I mean Bibi did allege voter fraud cost him power : https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israels-netanyahu-alleges-election-fraud-accuses-rival-duplicity-2021-06-06/

The reason Bibi could not do what Trump did is because Israel did not have anything like the Electoral Count Act which is what Trump tried to use to overturn the election

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electoral_Count_Act#

This act got greatly amended in 2022 so no President has the tools to do what Trump did after 2020

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electoral_Count_Reform_and_Presidential_Transition_Improvement_Act_of_2022


With this change, the US actually has by far the hardest system to turn into a dictatorship. The constitution is almost impossible to amend, most law enforcement agencies are run at a state and local level, federal elections are still run at a state and local level , The House is up every 2 years , and the Senate has something called a filibuster which makes it difficult for any one President to push through a good deal of their agenda without bipartisan support.

Why did Independents vote if it was for Democrats only?

Voter fraud. Makes the poll more realistic.

[Absentee Voting Ghost of Ruin]

Trump isn't eligible to be President, so yes, if it's a free & fair election, the Republican VP-elect should take office.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Trump isn't winning

[°Leprechaun]

If you check the partisan results you will see how many Democrats voted in this poll, although it doesn't show how they voted.

Edit: since the poll says "Democrats only" the results of this poll could be seen as unfairly skewed but you can get a more accurate result from those who post their responses to the question.

Edit, I didn't see this post when I posted this:

I'm glad that someone else saw this.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

If you ask Rs if they would accept Eday results if Biden wins, it won't be the same

Trump Toupee really gets a kick out of downing Biden, we Ds despised Trump just as much

53 percent of voters view the Economy better under Trump and we had 10 percent unemployment it's all rich people the 53 percent that have money

Look how many wealthy whites live in IL burbs, CA and FL and HI and NY Brooklyn gets 500 K right off the bat from inheritance they work just for the upkeep of their lifestyle but the majority of the wealthy is inheritance

The polls have a lot of undecideds. Also look at the margin of error. The polls in certain swing states are very close and there is still time for Biden to narrow the gaps.
Those considering voting third party could change their minds.
