 It's an effect of electricity, not just magnetism. Dielectricity is what powers magnetism.

The better question is how is gravity the bending and warping of spacetime, which are objectively concepts with no physical properties. 
 We’ve never been outside lower earth orbit. And never will. 

That is an absolute fact. Indisputable. 
Van Allen firmament tells me so. 
 The question is even what is spacetime. Still magnetism and electrical force are non interacting with gravity even at very high powers. The very few effect of gravitational distortions are just given by very fast speeding objects. 
 Spacetime is completely made up. They make up concepts to try explain observations, like virtual photons, even though they don't actually exist.

Magnetism is an observable, testable and repeatable phenomenon. It is a much stronger force than gravity claims to be, even though technically gravity isn't claimed to be a force. The earth is negatively charged, and there is an equipotential increase in measurable charge in the atmos. We can manipulate objects to move up or down by affecting their electrostatic charge. No such experiments exist to support the alternative theory. It's all just mathematical equations.

The explanation of gravity from the mainstream is entirely nonsensical from my perspective.

 
 “Dark Matter” 
So funny. Literally making stuff up & normies lap it up like kittens getting some milk. 
 I used to be a huge space enjoyer. Then they pulled COVID on us and logic trampled all over my delusions. 
 Same to a degree. 
None of it ever made sense to me from a young age. 
I remember always thinking, what the heck is the North Pole?  Where is it? 
 Time is made up - it's just now 
 The planet is bathed into protons from the sun all the time. Should be positive in case and I'm sure is not neutral. Still if the charge was big we would see electrical repulsion between the planet and ever object in contact with it. I agree that the last decades has been plagued by half scientists that have to publish every bullshit to get funded. Still the basic concepts work. I'm an engineer and if something works it works. If you call it virtual proton or imaginary magnetic fields doesn't matter. The local laws of physics can be used to predict statistical evolution of situations in magnetic electric and gravitational fields. Transformers work, antennas transmit, planes fly. Then if you tell me there are other things that have not been investigated, yes. We made brainwaves interaction analysis and test in the 80's and the field disappeared from mainstream. They are using it... Anyway 
 Maybe I misunderstand, but it's not disputed that the Earth is negatively charged. That means everything has a downward bias towards ground or counterspace by default. Mainstream physics tried to make this overly complicated to understand, obfuscating it with ridiculous equations.

And yes, the concepts have to work so that they are believable. Everything has transforms and would work the same whether or not the Earth is moving. GPS uses coordinate systems based on geocentric models. This is one thing people fails to understand. Engineering, flights, etc. all would work the same way because they are all based off of the assumption of a stationary, non-rotating plane. 

Things fall down, no one disputes that. The mechanisms for why things fall down are up for debate. 
 I am aware that strongly charged objects can pull upwards. I'm not sure that gravity is just a consequence of electrical and magnetic forces because it's change with distance follows a different rule. Still open to reevaluate some of the assumptions they did in the last 70 years. 
 If you dig into the topic, it makes far more sense than the stuff we're all taught. But I also think it requires re-examination of fields, dielectricity and magnetism because they are all related. People are starting to figure it out - I just saw this on twitter.

 Fact is. The correlation between electric and magnetic field is well known. I am radioamateur and I know antennas quite well. Usually I build them. On the other hand I have heard of some deviation of gravity caused by strong electric fields or fast moving materials. I know some experiments and it works. Why it works is another thing because it could just be cracks in the laws of physics caused by the granular characteristic of space. There are some weird electrical experiment that clearly indicate some fields project into an imaginary dimension. I call it imaginary because we use imaginary numbers in the equation and it works. The fact is that we must distinguish between what is interesting and what is useful. Some of those weird thing are exploited, some other have such a negligible effect that cannot be used for something.
