I'm retired and living a good life. Thanks for your concern though. Yep, you are correct. We seem to have much in common when it comes to politics. Remember when George W won and the Clinton staffers trashed the whitehouse, removed the Ws from the computer keyboards. im glad your already retired, I hope to get there someday too. too many sheeple think this is a right versus wrong, good versus bad, and don’t realize they are getting played by political elites from both sides. im almost convinced the opposing parties all go off camera, close the doors and laugh their arses off about fooling the sheep. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually vote Independant and Dem or GOP if I think the candidate will earn that vote. Democratic (as in the process) norms do not hold to litigating a voting loss in this many swing states by this much margin. If it were one state with a small margin then I would expect litigation from the losing party. These attacks on our Postal Service knee-capping their operational efficiency prior to the election, then on mail-in voting itself as a practice during a pandemic stink to high heaven as the very fraud and election fixing the GOP is alleging Dems partake in. One side clearly lost the Presidency, and the other side lost House seats and needs to rethink their populist/socialist rhetoric and how that plays outside of the metro areas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don’t care which corrupt self serving party won, but 2016 was literally a mirror image of the losing party not accepting the outcome. Some exceperts from the pretty neutral Wikipedia: Following the announcement of Trump's election, large protests broke out across the United States with some continuing for several days.[541][542][543][544] Protesters have held up a number of different signs and chanted various shouts including "Not my president" and "We don't accept the president-elect."[545][541] The movement organized on Twitterunder the hashtags #Antitrump and #NotMyPresident.[546][547] High school and college students walked out of classes to protest.[548] At a few protests fires were lit, flags and other items were burned and people yelled derogatory remarks about Trump. Rioters also broke glass at certain locations.[549][550] Celebrities such as Madonna, Cher, and Lady Gaga took part in New York.[551][552][553] Some protesters took to blocking freeways in Los Angeles, San Diego, and Portland, Oregon, and were dispersed by police in the early hours of the morning.[554][555] In a number of cities, protesters were dispersed with rubber bullets, pepper spray and bean-bags fired by police.[556][557][558] In New York City, calls were made to continue the protests over the coming days after the election.[559] Los Angeles mayor Eric Garcetti expressed understanding of the protests and praised those who peacefully wanted to make their voices heard.[560] After the election, computer scientists, including J. Alex Halderman, the director of the University of Michigan Center for Computer Security and Society, urged the Clinton campaign to request an election recount in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania (three swing states where Trump had won narrowly) Stein filed for a recount in Wisconsin on November 25,[570] after which Clinton campaign general counsel Marc Elias said their campaign would join Stein's recount efforts in that state and possibly others "in order to ensure the process proceeds in a manner that is fair to all sides."[384][571] Stein subsequently filed for a recount in Pennsylvania on November 28,[572] and in Michigan on November 30.[573] Concurrently, American Delta Party/Reform Party presidential candidate Rocky De La Fuente sought and was granted a partial recount in Nevada that was unrelated to Stein's efforts.[386] Electoral College lobbying Intense lobbying (in one case involving claims of harassment and death threats)[584] and grass-rootscampaigns were directed at various GOP electors of the United States Electoral College[585] to convince a sufficient number of them (37) to not vote for Trump, thus precluding a Trump presidency.[586]Members of the Electoral College themselves started a campaign for other members to "vote their conscience for the good of America" in accordance with Alexander Hamilton's Federalist Paper No. 68.[587][588][589][590] Former candidate Lawrence Lessig and attorney Laurence Tribe established The Electors Trust on December 5 under the aegis of Equal Citizens to provide pro bono legal counsel as well as a secure communications platform for members of the Electoral College who were considering a vote of conscience against Trump.[591] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the right call and was a good thing for democracy. In 2016 Trump won. That being said we need to not confuse the difference between accepting a Presidential election win, and accepting the man's character and policies. Most folks on the Left that I talk to accepted Trump's win in 2016, but did not like it, thought folks were pretty dumb for voting him in, and were motivated to have his tenure be one and done after 4 years.

There is no platform, just a need for them to keep Trump happy simply not to alienate themselves from his voters. A complete loss for dignity.

I’m not sure who isn’t accepting the election outside of the trump campaign, I’m just saying the Clinton campaigns didn’t either. what you are witnessing now is what will continue to be the new post election playbook. gore challenged Florida results in his election and I’m sure McCain or Obama would have if Barack hadn’t won in such a massive landslide.

I’m telling you, mirror image. Just about anyone in a political office will lie cheat and steal.... it’s all about the power. Republicans are scared of trump because he’s so volatile, but a generational talent in terms of self promotion and installing narratives and whether it’s good or bad in ones view he did deliver on some of his promises. I mean he’s probably at best a sociopath but I’m not so sure that’s uncommon in that level of politics or business. That movie Vice did a great job of laying out how these political factions operate And what they value. What you see on camera from both parties is all smoke and mirrors. I wish they’d bar anyone over 66 from running. People in their 70s aren’t in their prime.
