Reply to comment by Armigine in Lepage is choking at the debate - giving 250 million to the oil companies? by [deleted]

I mean, when someone wins an election according to the rules that were in place, calling it "stolen" is a bit extreme. I was asking for clarification. Claiming Trump "stole" the election in 2016 is no different than saying Biden "stole" it in 2020.

That's true - I think people typically mean different things with those expressions (I think when people say Biden stole the election, they typically mean literally changed votes illegally), but that does possibly get some color from my political experience. It is indeed annoying when people are unclear in their communication, we have the language to be precise
