Yeah, I’ve never heard anyone say “We need rigged elections.” Trump and other Republicans are paying the price for trying to overturn one though.

Can’t overturn something that’s not legitimate. Like stealing stolen money
Mate, you're being way too literal about the word "rigged". There are many factors that make elections less representative of the people, and we are encouraged to support them: - federal agencies with power to enact policy without democratic accountability (justified on the grounds that they're "experts") - massive levels of lobbying and political funding that undermine what people thought they voted for (justified on the grounds of "donations" for the "common good") - shenanigans at the party level that ensure only palatable (to the elite) candidates make it onto the ballot (justified based on the circular logic that they're "electable") Try not to get so hung up on the wording, and attempt to see the bigger point 😽
