You can claim that our system is inherently illegitimate as it is sub-optimal and/or poorly designed (and advocate for a different approach); you can claim that USA voters are poorly equipped to use the system we have thereby rendering it illegitimate; you can claim that the de facto two-party approach that we have had for most of our federal elections undercuts the ideals/goals sought by many of our founders and leaves the system illegitimate. Such arguments have been made in this forum before by divers contributors.
Please refrain, however, from attempting to assert that this election was somehow mis-counted or stolen. No credible evidence whatsoever supports this. The facts are that Biden won a victory in the electoral college, as per the system in place, with no credible support for any meaningful miscount or distortion of the vote having occurred.
