        Fight like hell? Come on. 14 million fewer people voted blue this time, and you personally own a good chunk of that.

          How many people do you think ozma can reach? How many people do you think were personally disaffected by ozma? Why is it ozma’s fault that the aggressively Republican campaign Harris ran didn’t inspire people to actually vote?

    Why? I genuinely don’t understand Democrats.

    You spend an entire campaign calling him a threat to democracy in any way you can. Then you cordially call him to concede he won?
    This is the implicit lie hidden in Democrat politics. Trump exposed it to a lot of the electorate. It’s part of what cost them millions of votes.

      Both can be true. He’s a threat to democracy, and he convinced enough voters to elect him legitimately. The Nazi party was also democratically elected and Hitler appointed chancellor in 1932.

        He certainly did. Won the popular vote for the first time. But why CALL HIM to admit defeat!?
        Instead go to the public and congratulate them on not having to vote ever again, like Trump promised we wouldn’t!

        She doesn’t have to politely stick to a meaningless tradition, giving him a call to fucking congratulate him!
