The share of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents who believe that President Joe Biden’s 2020 election win was not legitimate has ticked back up, according to a new CNN poll fielded throughout July. All told, 69% of Republicans and Republican-leaners say Biden’s win was not legitimate, up from 63% earlier this year and through last fall, even as there is no evidence of election fraud that would have altered the outcome of the contest.

    Maybe now. The Republicans in my family left the party after 2016. Granted, they’re still on my shit list for voting against LGBT stuff but at least they’ve recognized the error of their ways.

          Hahah, see how quickly you back down from your comment?

          ‘well, I lied before, but they might as well have!! Therefore, SHITLIST!’

          Go ahead, tell me who they voted for that they’re on your shit list because they vote differently than you do.

            I didn’t back down. They voted for Trump in 2016. The GOP platform is explicitly anti gay. Had my step dad voted for Trump in 2020 he wouldn’t be invited to my gay wedding because Republicans want to overturn Obergafell.

            I don’t care who you vote for as long as they support gay rights.

            I didn’t lie. You just can’t read.

            I’m a single issue voter and that issue is queer rights.

              You did. You literally said your parents are on your shit list because they voted against lgbt policies. Then I asked about those policies, and you said that they actually didn’t do that…?

              They voted for Trump in 2016

              Trump was the first pro-gay marriage president that had ever been elected.

              Had my step dad voted for Trump in 2020 he wouldn’t be invited to my gay wedding because Republicans want to overturn Obergafell.

              Do you agree with every single policy every single democrat has ever discussed?

              I don’t care who you vote for as long as they support gay rights.

              “I don’t care who you vote for as long as it’s someone who agrees with me”

              I didn’t lie. You just can’t read.

              My bad, you didn’t say “they’re still on my shit list for voting against LGBT stuff”?

              I’m a single issue voter and that issue is queer rights.

              And anyone that doesn’t think exactly like you and vote exactly like you is on your shit list?

                Lol, it’s cute you think queer rights is just a simple disagreement.

                I’m sure you agree with every single conservative plank when you vote.

                Not sure what your “gotcha” is here. I had family who voted for him. They opened their eyes to the bs.

                If someone votes for politicians with anti-queer policies then they need to deal with the consequences just like the rest of us do.

                I don’t have to associate with anyone and there isn’t a rational argument against queer human rights.

                Let’s say you were my sibling and you plan on voting for Trump (or whoever the GOP nom will be). If you did then you wouldn’t get an invite to my wedding. It’s that simple. You had shown you don’t support gay rights. Once you, as my sibling, abandon family for politics then you cut out.

                  Lol, it’s cute you think queer rights is just a simple disagreement.

                  What rights specifically are you talking about?

                  I’m sure you agree with every single conservative plank when you vote.

                  Nope, actually, I disagree on a lot of conservative views.

                  Not sure what your “gotcha” is here. I had family who voted for him.

                  You said they voted against lgbt policies and that’s why they’re on your shit list, but there’s not one lgbt policy you can name they voted against

                  If someone votes for politicians with anti-queer policies then they need to deal with the consequences just like the rest of us do.

                  So you’re for repercussions against people that don’t vote in line with you?

                  I don’t have to associate with anyone and there isn’t a rational argument against queer human rights.

                  Of course, you have freedom of association listed out in our constitutional rights. What human rights do I, an asian male, have that queers don’t? My girlfriend is queer, so I really want to know what human rights she does not have so I can fight for her.

                  (or whoever the GOP nom will be)

                  Oh, so an individual candidate’s views doesn’t matter, purely the party? Do you know anyone who voted for Obama in 08? They were voting for a man that was against gay marriage, you better cut them off. As I mentioned before, and you ignored, Trump is the first president to come into office being pro-gay marriage.

                    Cool. So your gf is queer. She can inform you.

                    Lastly, Trump isn’t pro-gay marriage. He’s just pro whatever gets him attention. Surrounding himself with a bunch of homophobes and transphobes doesn’t make him pro-gay.

                    2016 GOP platform calls for a ban on same sex marriage. That’s anti-gay. Voting for any Republican is anti-gay. Not sure how you can’t understand that. Maybe, again, ask your “queer” gf.
