@upwardnews: In a pointed exchange on Bill Maher’s program, Governor Ron DeSantis directly addressed the selective outrage surrounding election integrity. He highlighted how Hollywood figures and Democratic voices promoted the narrative that the 2016 election was stolen by Russia, even producing advertisements urging the Electoral College to overturn the result. DeSantis noted that such claims were treated as legitimate then, yet similar concerns raised later have been dismissed as unprecedented threats to democracy. This exchange underscores a consistent double standard on election denialism that has shaped recent political discourse. By recalling the 2016 Russia-related efforts, DeSantis presented a factual reminder that skepticism about electoral outcomes is not a recent invention confined to one side. For audiences prioritizing accountability and historical context, the moment illustrates a clear-eyed approach to challenging selective memory in national conversations about voting processes and institutional trust.
It is only a deal breaker for people with principles.

Nico :
the typical whataboutism and false equivalence arguments. Yes, some Democrats questioned Trump's 2016 victory, and some celebrities urged electors not to support him. Those are legitimate subjects for criticism.
But Russian interference was documented by U.S. intelligence agencies, and Hillary Clinton conceded the election. Trump, by contrast, continued to claim widespread voting fraud without substantiating it and attempted to overturn the certified 2020 results.
More importantly, none of what Democrats did in 2016 answers the original question: Why support candidates who falsely claimed Trump won in 2020?
