What? A primary isn’t an election? So it’s okay for the loser of a primary to say it’s “rigged?”
So it was okay when Trump said every primary he lost was rigged against him to further his frame of an illegitimate democracy?
No, it doesn’t make sense. There’s no excuse for furthering the argument that Trump weaponized that phrase for to delegitimize the democratic process. Not because your opponent was better financed than you. Not because you’re frustrated. Not because you have animosity at the result.
Nothing merits giving legs to the weaponization of the idea of a “rigged election” just because you are dissatisfied with the result. Nothing.
