CNN reports that 70% of Republicans do not believe Biden won the election. [View all]

70% !

That is some effective propaganda, right there!

Even though Biden won the popular vote by over 7 million votes, they do not think it was possible for him to win the Electoral College vote.

Why do 70% believe that Biden did not win?

FOX and right-wing media, primarily.

Where facts do not matter, democracy does not matter, elections do not matter.

The only thing that matters is power.
