The reality is that it always takes time for some states to count all the votes; when these rumors started ramping up, there were over ten million uncounted ballots in California alone. But, many people don’t know that this is how things always work. So, with emotions high in the aftermath of the election, disinformation purveyors are taking advantage of the opportunity to get well-intentioned people to help amplify conspiracy theories.
If you see allegations of “millions of missing votes” or voting machine fraud, please don’t amplify them! Instead:
-
If it’s somebody you know, send them a private message letting them know that they’re unintentionally amplifying a false rumor.
-
If it’s not somebody you know, report it to the moderators as disinformation.
Which it clearly can’t. You don’t need to be a genius to figure out that the founding fathers weren’t the demigods they’re usually portrayed as and thus weren’t able to predict 21st century problems in the 1700s.
Especially since their mechanism for changing anything fundamental has been made impossible by polarization.
Like the whole “American Dream” and trickle down economics, you’d have to be asleep to still believe that it’s working.

No matter how willing you are to defend it, the 1700s system you’re still operating on is broken. It was never designed to be static, much less anticipate 21st century conditions.
At this point, defending it rather than fighting for it to be replaced by something better is a big part of the problem.
