Reaching For "Moral High-Ground": Dems Didn't Object To GOP Certification For First Time Since 1989

Posted • January 6, 2025: Voters came through in 2024 and made the election "too big to rig." Donald Trump won. Vice President Kamala Harris admitted defeat and gave a "thank you" Zoom call to her supporters in late November, which had people asking just how drunk she was. She's done nothing to fight the election, even though some of her most ardent supporters in the Qamala Cult still think she's sending coded messages that she's not leaving the White House in two weeks. One thing that gets on this editor's nerves is Rep.

Congressional Democrats know this victory was "too big to rig." This is the first time Democrats have accepted a presidential election they lost since 1988. (e.g. in 2000 they said Bush via SCOTUS was "selected, not elected"; in 2004, claimed Karl Rove rigged Ohio voting machines; in 2016 alleged Trump stole by colluding with Russia etc. etc.) -- Thoroughly beaten. Wonder how Congressman Raskin was feeling through this? He pledged to stop it. Maybe they don't want to be branded as insurrectionists. Or maybe they just know it's a lost cause because Trump won decidedly. (…)
