Strawman rubbish. Does anyone vet these?
Read the WSJ's own article about why the Russians seemingly sat this election out. In 2016, America felt what it's like to have a super power interfere in the electoral affairs of another country, like the CIA does everyday elsewhere. Democracy? Hardly.
A series of congressional races and a presidential race are really apples and oranges, not comparable
nyunggai Oh for goodness sake Republicans stamp your feet, throw your arms into the air, throw a tantrum, blame the Russians - collusion, Australia, anybody and generally create mayhem, otherwise you'll be responsible for destroying the new norm of US politics !
These elections were won by popular vote. The Presidential election was won by electoral college. People don't like it. It's sad, but the last two gop Presidents were just barely elected via electoral college and last two Dems won by popular AND electoral.
Exactly. The deplorable shoe is now on the other foot.
Yes double standard fed by the liberal media’s distorted coverage of the facts
Democracy is one person one vote, American democracy is one democrat vote = 1.5 republican votes minus all the voters taken off roles. If this is idea of a working democracy, I’m not surprised
GOP have whined over the Mid-Terms as much as Dems, in 2016. And, let's be clear, Clinton won the popular vote. Trump won the office on a fluke that has happened only 5 times, in history -- Electoral College only. We haven't had that curve-ball, in 2018. Then, there's Russia ...
maybe putin agreed to let mr yahu to do his thing cause it was fun to mess with the states but that was no rusian program there is only one country with the programs to do it and it is in the middle east and is not a muslim country.
do you know what the arab hackers do they steal famous people naked pictures you can name it models movie stars etc they call it ..... celebrity jihad o something so honestly i dont think rusia did it what i dont fully understand is why puting allowed nethanyahu to operate
if you can recall it nethanyahu made a trip to rusia a week before strange that the hacking data base came from rusia if rusia is no hackers nation of experts israel is you can go to the dark net and 90 percent of the hackers are jews and proud of it
you know all the suposed facebook pages interfering with the election was full of jews and jewish bots even the mexican pages in mexico were full of jews advising people who could vote to vote for trump so honestly i dont know who come withthe idea of rusian interfering.
Because Trumps election was a fiddle
C’mon, man....
We'll see what Mueller says. Until then keep up the intellectual dishonesty and massive sleight of hand. Good to know wsj supports racist voter suppression and foreign interference in elections. Just pathetic.
...and they are perfecting techniques to never lose again
Its how he won it, is still under investigation, so apparently that's how democracy works, looks what's happening down south. The judge is waiting.
Don’t be so lazy. Invest resources into investigating irregularities (Follow jennycohn1 to get started) It’s not a matter of who wins, it’s a matter of understanding the vulnerabilities of voting machines, voter suppression and disenfranchisement. Even T’s DHS sounded the alarm!
This is why I dropped wsj subs, signed up wapo / nyt. Nearly as idioticly enthralled with moron in the WH as fox news. There is nothing, nothing admirable about this president & his corrupt, incompetent administration that should warrant praise rather than condemnation everyday
Let’s take this bullshit apart piece by piece: “Then the cry was all about a stolen election, Vladimir Putin’s collusion with Mr. Trump.” *All avail. evidence points to massive meddling by Rus. ops under direction of Putin’s FSB. For direct collusion we await Mueller’s rpt.
If a D wins the presidency in 2020 will be interesting to read all the angst about the electoral college. Or will there be silence?
He is still working on his Slow coup. However if we keep his head spinning with Mueller his taxes his illegal payoffs & all his other SHADY practices maybe we can stop this coup on American democracy
WSJ has fallen so low.
Cause he played the crowd with unfair performance against all his oponents Shortly 'stolen victory'
not after the israeli goberment and the rusian goberment messed in the election to favor trump i mean this guy should had been imprisioned years ago for money laundry and dealing with the rusian mafia and the arab jihadi traficking into europe
I was offered a free WSJ subscription and turned it down because of editorials like this.
Clearly Russia caused this to happen and a 2-year investigation is in order.
“Win” by rampant voter fraud.
Putin’s puppet is still sitting in the White House, wreaking havoc on western alliances and trade agreements while disrespecting our veterans.
Not when your opponent had almost 3million popular votes more than you.....
What a ridiculous, absolutely stupid comment. Does this ever end?
If this was a victory for Democrats the ballot boxes wouldn't be filled with unregistered voters. The Democrats didn't get the blue waive they wanted so now they are attempting to steal elections in some states. The Democrat Party is the MOB. THEY ARE DISHONEST & UNTRUSTWORTHY!
I'm gonna guess this is a very bad take on what is actually going on.
I mean, it's the front page's Dr. Jekyll to the editorial page's Mr. Hyde. So much bad faith and strawman nonsense in this post. Trump has actually articulated very authoritarian statements and threatened to disregard the results in '16 if he didn't win. It was not just paranoia
FOH
Trump is the one who kept repeating the election was rigged
There was no coup, Dummies. USA govt wasn't overthrown. Wsj has no clue
Trump administration criticized Obama for not doing anything about meddling 2 years ago, remember ?
USA is NOT, I repeat NOT a democracy!!
Seriously civic and civil participation is required for democracy to work.
Every republican victory for the past decade or more comes with an asterisk. Gerrymandering, unequal senate representation, a broken and anachronistic electoral college. American Democracy doesn’t work, because Republicans destroyed it
democracy only works when all votes are counted. period.
Democracy means those who get more votes win. I guess that’s not clear to the editorial board. Dems got clear majority of the votes for house and senate...big difference with Trump. Try harder WSJ.
WTH? I've never heard any Democrat say democracy didn't work in 2016. This is so lame.
Why does post these when there is a opinion twitter? I like WSJ, the editorials however are garbage.
So, it is the position of The Editorial Board of the WSJ that Democrat are breaking the law by counting votes.
So what
Thanks for reminding me to cancel my WSJ subscription. And to unfollow you.
really? you don't see the difference at all? Not a little? not one tiny gerrymandered micro-Putin?
We're not out of the woods yet.
Careful, the anti-Trump bed-wetting brigade will have a meltdown!
This is an idiotic take on at least three different levels. I'm not talking about the article. I didn't read it, and I won't. I'm just talking about the tweet.
It’s almost as if there’s a mechanism in place during presidential elections not used in other elections. But great apples to apples got-ya editorialism you’ve got going there.
By democracy working, you mean a situation where a candidate who gets less of their nation’s citizens (not to be confused with electors) to vote for him, wins?
They fiddled with the vote where they could, picked up a few seats in the house, all cool until they lose again in 2020
'So apparently Democracy works...' Pretty incredible to think that an adult sat down and wrote this.
No Democrat who won a seat in Congress asked for Russian help.
The editorial board is why I cancelled by WSJ subscription and this reaffirms my decision despite the paper's other virtues.
ahahahahahahaha
Wall Street Journal stirring the pot for no reason on this sad day
Because Clintons and Obama administration thought what left of democracy out the window (we actually don't live in a democracy and haven't for a long time)
What are you doing
🙄
