This chart suggests that the winners' effect on legitimacy is real but relatively minor, and the real effects happen when political actors make a concerted effort to undermine perceptions of fairness (2020 and to a lesser extent the Diebold stuff in 2004, the Dominion of its day) — PolitiTweet.org

One of these years is not like the others. Aberration, or the New Normal? https://t.co/o38P9lBkiy https://t.co/YNLzMND8IQ

Does that mean I'm obviously right? No! Lots of smart people take a different view, and that's fine. But it's hard to talk to them about it on here without jerks coming in and derailing the conversation with unfounded, ignorant, and frankly obnoxious comments — PolitiTweet.org

It takes like two seconds of Googling in the Indian press to show that many local observers see this as a significant defeat for the BJP. Some examples: https://t.co/lrWUeqfzFr https://t.co/f2djXf9TBH https://t.co/5igaii3PTI https://t.co/wFCV0F2hbE https://t.co/251PGMq598 — PolitiTweet.org

I'm going to violate my own rule against dunking here, because this exchange shows exactly how this website becomes borderline unusable for serious conversation.

@laseptiemewilay You maybe shouldn’t condescend to people whose knowledge you know little about, especially when your interpretation is contested by subject matter experts. I know because I interviewed them today! — PolitiTweet.org

@ishaantharoor Right, I get the history here and the traditional left-lean (to put it mildly). It just seems like a decisive, above-short-term-expectations defeat for an incumbent authoritarian-inclined party with hegemonic national ambitions is fairly significant — PolitiTweet.org

@ishaantharoor These results are well below expectations and exits, it seems? I guess the interpretive question is where you set the baseline — PolitiTweet.org

Looking like a huge defeat for Narendra Modi's BJP in the critical state of West Bengal. Great result for Indian democracy, but one that reflects the myriad ways in which the Modi government has done serious damage to same https://t.co/UknDT7BI7o — PolitiTweet.org

I wanted to make sure that my read of their record was right here, so I spoke to experts — folks like @gregggonsalves, @dandrezner, and @AlexNowrasteh. The consensus, as Dan put it, is that the record "is totally America first" https://t.co/lhgkzGwp7F — PolitiTweet.org
