Trying to blog or actually do anything this past week has been difficult but at least I didnt go back to chewing my fingernails. Or drinking, as I am too cheap to guzzle booze at Canadian prices.
Of course Trump has declared himself the winner and at first glance it does appear to be the case. However with record voter turnout and 20 million missing ballots, it aint over until the fat man is in jail.
The media all act like voting was normal but Kamala Harris was not only running against Trump, she was runing against decades of Republican voter suppresssion. That didn't seem news worthy when results were being reported.
She is wise not to concede. Counting is not complete and recounting has not even begun.
Just read that she conceded. Like Gore in 2000
AAARGH.
ReplyDeleteThat about sums it up, EC
DeleteI've been remembering Gore a lot the past little while and how he and the Democrats did not contest the 2000 election's "hanging chads" issue in court. What a marked contrast to Trump with his lying allegations about the 2020 election. Of course, Democrats respect the constitutional foundations of American democracy. Trump and MAGA do not, and are systematically engaged in discrediting them in order to create a legitimation crisis to undermine American institutions.
