No Dems in the Senate voted for DeVos.
Unfortunately some voted for Stein instead of Hillary thus we have the illiterate orange one in the White House.
What an embarrassment for the country that even though he didn't get the most votes he still "won".
Britain's parliament isn't even allowing him to speak to them.

NCTraveler
(30,481 posts)Stein scammed people out of millions and then worked her ass off to make the country look past them. What she did was horrid. She talked about one thing and then put it in the peoples mind that the election was on the up and up. A true fraud. How is this not seen by all? She stole money from the left under false pretense and then legitimized the election.

And parts of Michigan will eventually be audited
NCTraveler
(30,481 posts)What dems need to do is completely different than the fraud Stein perpetrated. Stein simply legitimized the vote while acting as if she was doing something else. That is fully known at this point. It was known by many of us as she was doing it. Dems need power to make a real difference in this area. That is what we are fighting for. Not to perpetrate fraud as Stein did. She is mentally bankrupt.
HoneyBadger
(2,297 posts)Hillary had deeper pockets and more justification.
NCTraveler
(30,481 posts)I have no clue why you think Clinton should have pulled the fraud that Stein did. That makes no sense at all.
You think Clinton should have told people one thing, taken millions from them, and then done something completely different? Clinton isn't a fraud like Stein as you are suggesting.
HoneyBadger
(2,297 posts)Which I paid for as did many, many others here. Jill's position was weak because she was not the injured party, just an observer. Hillary as the injured party had the justification.
NCTraveler
(30,481 posts)Do you really need for me to highlight the repeated words from her own mouth where she called it something other than a recount? I find it hard to believe you would need help in seeing how she sold it, and what was actually done.
Fuck Stein. Complete fraud. Legitimizer of Trump and the right wing. Just look at her ignorant tweet in this op.
brush
(53,764 posts)by election officials to discourage the recount.
The money was raised but ballots were just fed back through the same machines and the same results came out, which essentially validated trumps "victory".
Only a hand count would've uncovered irregularities.
And in PA no recount actually happened I believe.
Stein was able to not be seen as the latest Nader by some, but many see through her recount posturing, and, btw, she was able to pocket quite a large sum of money though that wasn't used and wasn't returned .
Now that's what's called a fraud.

(70 posts)I remember reading that in many precincts they used electronic voting machines so there would be no paper trail. We need fully auditable elections...get on board the Trump/Pence voter fraud investigation but broaden it to incorporate our concerns as well. Every top Democrat should agree to jump on board this investigation but demand it cover all areas, vote tampering, polling placements, id requirements etc...

NCTraveler
(30,481 posts)I never argued against the points you have now transitioned to. I do agree that she scammed many Dems out of their money. Sad considering the fraud was clear from the start.
I'm glad the Dems didn't perpetrate this fraud. They have much higher standards than the complete fraud that Stein is.
I do get that some are now trying to justify giving money to a Trump enabler. Those with higher standards fully admit they gave to a fraud. Some even openly recognized it at the time and still gave out of desperation. Those are the ones I understand. I can't imagine making the argument you are.
LiberalLovinLug

In fact Hillary DID support Jill Stein:

https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/26/us/politics/clinton-camp-will-join-push-for-wisconsin-ballot-recount.html?_r=0
So I guess your answer would be a yes.
Funny to see you and others taking Trumps position instead of Hillary's
Not really funny, more like appalling
"President-elect Donald Trump has slammed the recount efforts, saying in a statement Saturday that its a scam that will allow Stein to fill her coffers with money, most of which she will never even spend on this ridiculous recount.
But but but where did all the leftover money go!
"Is that money going directly to her campaign?
No -- the money Stein is raising for the recount goes into a completely separate account thats specifically designated for the recount campaign, not into a general campaign fund."
But don't let the truth stand in the way of all you Trump supporters.

They didn't get their seats, and Labor ended up losing the election. So the right wing Looting and pillaging and privatising continues. Gay Marriage completely off the table now.
