Enjoy the self-satisfaction of having taken the high road while the concentration camps get built.

And what did you want her to tell people to march to the capitol and hang the vice president being willing to certify the election?

Nah, Americans voted for Trump and his fascism, his racism so let them have it.

We can still try to obstruct via filibuster and other mechanisms. (Republicans have already shown us how to do it effectively.) But certainly no progress can be made for the next four years.

2 years. In 2026, 20 Republican Senators will be up for re-election.

You’re putting far too much faith in the voters at this point.

Depending on how the cost of living situation goes, Trump is either going to take credit for improvements set in motion before his 2024 term, or he’s going to astronomically tank it and blame it on the previous administration. No matter which happens, he will frame it to make himself look better than the Democrats while the MAGA crowd eats it up.

Every stance she took will be adhered to, and she is going to get the Republicans in the cabinet that she wanted so bad.

Somehow I think the person who would have been the first female president is not “fine” with losing to Donald Trump.

If she really cared, maybe she would have declined the AIPAC money, set a redeemable platform, and sunk one of the easiest wins in US history.

She didnt do that though. Did she?

It’s not a matter of “not caring” to win. She miscalculated and campaigned wrong. Did Trump lose in 2020 because he didn’t care to win?

You’re in an echo chamber if you think the general population cares that much about the situation in Gaza. Funny how all you talking heads hyperfocus on this one aspect that most people don’t care enough about.

If you truly cared about it, then you would understand that Trump is going to be oh so much worse.

You and your ilk are a one note song.

Of course she made a concession speech. Because Democrats are constitutionally unable to accept the reality we voted into power 2016.

The party deserves extinction.

“when we lose an election, we accept the results”

Will, that’s a lie. Remember 4 years of Russia-gate, everyone.

EDIT My point was the Left blamed Trump for it and/or he anything to do with it. But he didn’t.

Except that Russia did and has continued funding disinformation to sow division and hatred among Americans.

You can look up Tenet Media and how they filtered Russian money down to major right wing political commentators.

There’s nothing fake about that.

Remember 4 years of Russia-gate, everyone

That whole thing was about Russia using social media to spend disinformation. The entire thing wasn’t that, Russia hacked into the ballot boxes and changed votes, it was that Russia was using social media as a means to give false information to the public.

Underpinning the whole Russia-gate episode is the fact that human beings still physically pushed the buttons they pushed and that the vote they cast was indeed the vote they wished to cast. So we still accept the results as, technically speaking, the people have spoken.

But c’mon, you’ve seen the increase in AI slop. You know the Russia-gate stuff is true. In fact, I would dare say this election cycle they’ve gotten worse at doing it as they’re still pretty new at the whole AI stuff. Now where I, myself, and other Democrats likely disagree is the how to solve it. Lots of Democrats want to ban AI and regulate social media, but my opinion is you can’t fight fire by banning the match. You have to teach fire safety and hope the public is smart enough to not set themselves on fire.

But the important aspect is in all of this, the ballots that were cast, we still respect the final tally. That’s the fundamental difference between the Russia-gate and Trump’s legal challenges. The Russia-gate stuff is basically people are being misled. Trump’s stuff was that people were literally altering the ballot computer.

I think people are still being misled… BUT, Trump won this one fair and square. The law doesn’t say a person being misled shouldn’t have their vote count, and such a law would be insanely stupid/incredibly dangerous, even if it favored my particular team. We fix being misled by educating people and so losing this election just means that the educating folks game needs to up the ante. Best anyone can do is put the sources out there, show where the misinformation is wrong, and leave it up to the voter to read all of that come to the conclusion that matches reality. But if they don’t, we’ve got to accept that and work on better messaging.

That’s how one makes a point. They present the view, present the evidence, and use a persuasive argument. The rest is up to the voter to put together.
