(24,992 posts)22. This was our last election
We had a bloodless coup and our democracy is over and the constitution is moot. The Supreme Court 6 gave him total immunity.
I hate being negative but project 2025 is now going to be a reality. No more free and fair elections. And the states that have Democratic governors will eventually be gotten rid of. The repukes and corporations have been waiting for this for 80 years and now they got their wish.

I am never against recounts no matter who won. We should always audit and verify

In most states recounts aren't done automatically unless the difference is less than .5%.

I don't know why people are so slow to see this. Someone doesn't become dictator on day one and then concede power

No, she is currently behind by less than 5 million. California has only counted 55% of their votes so far.

That is the stupid thing we keep doing, playing by the rules while our opponents laugh & stab us in the back repeatedly.

Who cares when or even if she conceded? She could have conceded 2 months ago for all that it matters.

If your overall point is a recount is useless, then that's hat you should have said.

yes, but it's all moot now, isn't it? (Absent some major new finding of fraud in WI, MI and PA)

I'm all in for demanding a recount - why are so many Dems sooo polite and AFRAID to ruffle some F'en feathers?

And it "lines up" despite the root causes being undeterminable. Like in 2016, except maybe a little slicker.
