      I've seen this go around. It is wrong on multiple levels. Biden didn't overperform Hillary, relative to Trump, in Detroit or Philly. He did overperform in Dallas, Houston, Portland, Seattle, Richmond, Denver, Minneapolis, & Chicago. Where Biden beat Trump was in the suburbs.https://twitter.com/AdamAtlas8/status/1328061177327398917 …

      Atlanta, yes, Biden did much better - but Trump would still have won Georgia if Biden hadn't also significantly improved on Hillary in the Atlanta burbs. Pennsylvania was won in the Philly burbs. But "voter fraud in the suburbs" is neither as sexy nor as plausible.

      Yes you got the facts/analysis correct here. Biden won in the suburbs—both white and the growing non white suburbs. Urban vote was flat. So why can’t you just make the next step and say, “Voter fraud is garbage—both procedurally and mathematically.” Why?

      Biden won with massive turnout, both white & non-white. Why can't you say that voter suppression is garbage—both procedurally and mathematically?

      What a stupid remark. So so so stupid and lazy. Insultingly so. The criticism vs suppression—which I have made *countless* times here—is **normative.** It is **wrong whether it “works” or not.** it is antithetical to democracy. Get it now?

      Regardless—why can’t you just do the right thing? Say you’re correct—I’m just a hack. I don’t have normative principles, I only reflexively defend “the party.” What’s your excuse—am I a model for you? Try writing with moral and intellectual integrity. You don’t need me for that.

      Your problem here is that you are applying a different standard to proof of one thing than to proof of the other thing., and to perspective about one thing vs perspective about the other thing. Both happen. Both are very marginal phenomena in the context of American elections.

      No. I am applying the same proof, but also I am applying the matter of measurable and broad intent of a political agent. VS is—there is copious empirical data about this—a measurable strategy *nationally* of the Republican Party. Do you stipulate that?

          You have a weak argument. It’s easy to rebut both empirically and normatively. I just did. You’ve got nothing in response. Rather than concede the point, you get tetchy. You’re wrong on the facts and what is just and fair. There is no national Dem VF “ “project.” As you know.

          But there .*is* a national VS GOP project. That Dem voters (and Rs too—collateral damage) overcome obstacles to voting and doesn’t mske that right or just. Read something:o;https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/30/magazine/trump-voter-fraud.html?referringSource=articleShare …
