Okay, I understand that. According to both Pew Research and Gallup we do have between 60-65% of all Americans that still have confidence or trust in our electoral system. Confidence and trust that the results are correct and accurate. Nothing to do with stolen elections or the peaceful transfer of power or does it? Our democracy is based on the Trust and the belief of the accuracy of election results. If one doesn’t trust the system or have confidence in our electoral process, the way it is run and trust in those overseeing the results, that I think would lead to the thinking of stolen elections and the disruption of the peaceful transfer of power. Especially if one thinks the winner is bogus.
If the way, we elect our leaders is distrusted that I think leads to the distrust of our leaders and in our electoral system as a whole. Which leads to a lot of folks believing in stolen elections and to the disruption of the transfer of power from those who think the winners are bogus, that they didn’t actually win, but lost. How our democracy performs is based on trust in the electoral system, people voting and having a belief, confidence, trust that their vote was counted, and the overall results were correct and accurate. If one believes, trust, has confidence in this, our electoral system there will be no thought of a stolen elections or disruption of the peaceful transfer of power.
I think confidence and trust in our electoral system is what keeps our democracy viable, lasting far into the future. We’ve entered an era where more and more people are distrusting the way and results of how we elect our leaders, trust in our government to do what is right is fast eroding, trust in the media to report the news accurately, fully and fairly has gone into the dumps. All of this in my opinion is eroding and destroying democracy in this country. It’s not only the peaceful transfer of power, but confidence and trust in the whole system democracy provides, electoral, government, media, etc.
It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.
