Part of me would like to see it, just tit for tat. The other part of me doesn't want to pour gasoline on the existing fire.
But I wonder what they would say if the shoe were on the other foot?

(26,647 posts)that Trump and the Rs are pulling right now? Hillary never conceded? The Obama administration wouldn't allow the transition process to begin? There was massive proliferation of batshit conspiracy theories and months of frivolous court cases, with Hillary constantly tweeting that SHE WON!!!
And of course, who could forget the violent storming of the Capitol by thousands of women wearing pink knit hats.
Yes, definitely tit for tat. Thanks for the reminder.
I just mean that a lot claimed fraud.

I'm genuinely curious.

Jill Stein pocketed the money and there were no recounts.

(4,908 posts)My original question was prompted initially by feelings of spite. But reading through the responses, it occurred to me that if we cannot get voting rights strengthened, we may indeed see elections stolen from our side. Then, we need to think through our responses.
Marc Elias and his group are superstars of democracy. I am so grateful he is there.
