i really don't think it is particularly different than 2004 election denialism imo it exists, but it is far from systemic in party culture and doesn't really have any legs as movement it's probably even more muted than 2004

I could see that. And I should be clear, it’s not rampant but after January 6th, I’m pretty sensitive to election denialism.

I'm sensitive to it just because it's bullshit that ought to be beneath our side. I think we're going to win in the long run but I am going to come out of it with a deeply instilled contempt for many of my putative allies.

I don't really remember noticing any of that in 2004, but maybe that was just the Internet being a lot less porous to Takes in that era
