Calls Grow For A New Presidential Election To Be Held After Russia Meddled To Help Trump

[A Round Tuit]

33. Notice how some of the "brand new posters"...

that have been here for a while...have refrained from saying ANYTHING, because someone that has a uptagazillion post count will remark on the fact that they are "brand new posters".

I agree with the "newby".

We have spent over a month pissing and moaning about what could have been.

But it ain't gonna be.

So, we redirect our efforts to trying to make what "could have been"...a "will be", for future efforts.

We had a flawed candidate. Many cry blasphemy when that is said, but the truth, the painful truth, is that she alienated just a little less than half of the population of the voting public.

So, many of them, holding their nose, I'm sure, voted for the pie in the sky and even though they will probably regret it later, it resulted in the Electoral Votes of those states going to Trump.

There is no "Constitutional Crisis", there is no chance that Mr. Obama will declare Martial Law and order a "do-over", there is no chance that a recount will do much of anything other than increase the totals of both candidates count in some areas and reduce it in other areas.

There is no real evidence of hacking, cheating, suppressing, etc, other than anecdotal. I've heard the "voter suppression" thing thrown around constantly, but if it was truly suppressed, would Hillary have received nearly 2.5 million more popular votes than Trump?

And so what if Russia "influenced" the election through the dissemination of "false news"? Myself, I'm smart enough to take most of what is said with a grain of salt and look into it for myself. For BOTH sides.

I fully expect some of you "high count" members to attack me for saying what I've said...but look at my join date and know that I've been here every day of that time (except for the hack) and that I'm damned well aware of what was happening.

I've watched cooler heads attempt to prevail and seen them mercilessly gutted and I've seen some the nutballs call for petitions and actions that they knew damned well would change NOTHING...and they were lionized.

Time to put on our big boy pants (or big girl, pants...before I get accused of misogyny), and get back to work.

We have 4 years, at worst, to expose this for what it is. Less, if we catch him with his pants down (not necessarily metaphorically, either) and push our reps for impeachment.

In any event, we ain't getting nothing done by sitting in sack cloth and ashes, and crying and moaning and grasping for every straw some one comes up with and extends.

So be it.

Goodbye.
