Yeah, I get the Catch 22.

At the end of the day, people looked at the rules which were in place. They made their decision on how to vote based on those rules. It would be absolutely wrong to discard a load of votes from real, voting Americans, after the fact. No question about that.

Questions of legitimacy come up here all the time. How can the 2020 result be respected if it can't be seen as legitimate? If there are unresolved questions of voter fraud? The result should reflect the will of the people. The same principle applies here; how can the result reflect the will of the people if the rules are changed after the fact? If otherwise legitimate votes are discarded?

Agreed. Time and again, he disappoints. Big words, no action. Always the promise of better things around the corner. The bombshell moment is always coming in a few days, or in the next week. Yet he doesn't deliver.

Yesterday, he was almost an hour late to his own rally. He then talks of walking to Congress, with the people, but disappears without a trace. Hasn't been seen since. Meanwhile, people have died doing as he asked. And it's only a matter of time before the authorities start knocking in doors and arresting people (identified from footage) for doing what GEOTUS told them to do. Solidarity? What solidarity?

It's fairly simple really; this was an argument that needed to happen before the election, before millions of people voted. The rules should have been corrected then. After the election... it's too late.

Maybe an argument could have been presented for re-running the election in that state, with the rules corrected. That would have ensured that the true victor took Pennsylvania. But that argument wasn't made. Instead, the "losing" side sought to have a bunch of ballots discarded, handing themselves the victory. And that argument was always going to be a non-starter.
