This whole debate seems extremely disingenuous to me. What does it matter if people say Biden didn’t win? It changes nothing. People say all kinds of nonsense, a lot of it way more harmful than arguing over who won an election.

I can’t believe the left are advocating censorship and the right are advocating letting people decide for themselves.

Disinformation, especially political disinformation, has been shown to be extremely harmful and an existential threat to democracy. Have you been under a rock the past 4+ years?

Why is political and economic disinformation allowed from the left then?

You're asking if rejecting the result of free and democratic elections and pushing for the subversion of a democratic regime by arguing in favour of installing an illegitimate ruler at the highest position in government matters.

Well, it does matter if you intend in continue living in a democracy.

In the past it didn't matter to those who pushed to overthrow democracies in favor of a dictatorship.
