Democrats deserve more blame for election denialism than Republicans, writes ZacharyFaria.
He’s right. The Democratic Party has been much worse over the decades about throwing tantrums after election losses.
When asked about Hillary Clinton’s comments that “right-wing extremists already have a plan to literally steal the next presidential election,” Maloney dodged and claimed he didn’t see them. He then said we shouldn’t “pretend for a second that both sides have the same amount of accountability for the loss of confidence in our elections. He added that Democrats “always have, always will” accept the results of elections. Rep.
Democrats objected to the certification of electoral votes in 2000 and 2004, and again objected to certification after Trump won in 2016 — four years before Republicans did the same after Joe Biden’s victory. To top it all off, several major Democratic Party figures claimed that the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial election was stolen from Stacey Abrams, who lost decisively by 55,000 votes.
What Trump and some Republicans did in the aftermath of his 2020 election loss was despicable, of course. But it followed 20 years and at least four election cycles worth of Democratic Party precedent. Democrats have not reckoned with their own election denialism or their impulse to burn down the system every time they lose. Maloney’s revised history suggests they never will.
