I mean, he’s the expert on it.
What I came here to say!

…by him?
People always point to Russias use of Facebook target ads to prove this, which seems to be letting Facebook remarkably off the hook.
Classic “immigrants are taking jobs” trope
Half of the US also believes this. The other half doesn’t.
The leaders of the half that believes it know it’s true because they did the rigging.
The leaders of the half that doesn’t believe it also know it’s true, but don’t want to admit it because the first half’s preemptive DARVO-ing has poisoned the rhetorical well against them. Also, admitting it would just weaken the public’s faith in the validity of elections even further, playing into the other side’s hands.
Which half depends on who is in the White House at the moment.

They don’t need to be rigged when there are only 2 options that are almost the same.
Acknowledging the way they actually rig elections would motivate liberals to vote further left.

Of course they were. Just off the top of my head I can name 1968, 1980, and 2000. That these were all years in which Republicans won the White House is a genuine coincidence though, election rigging and other actions of the capitalist class to control the state institutions are quite indifferent to political parties.

At least Clinton wasn’t pushed out of a window
It would be an improvement.
Of course he’d know, he’s the expert in rigging elections
ITT: settlers angry that they’re getting called out by a despot arguably no different than the despots they uplift on “either side” of the aisle.
Our elections are rigged-- the only people allowed to make it to the finals are racist, genocidal, war-mongering, capital-extolling, military-industrially paid-for ghouls; regardless of what color tie they wear, and it’s been that way for the last 50 years. Putin is capable of being a beneficiary of the same kind of rigging on his own end and being absolutely correct about how Occupied Turtle Island is rigged.
This is the essence of critical support. Two things can be right at once, and an abject bastard who is no ally can occasionally be dead on the money.
They still are
What, by him?
Aha…
