posted by SpockWho cares if Daddy gave him money.....irrelevant. Also, you can spew all this all the time about him but he was never called a racist or bigot, homophobe, nazi, crazy or anything else till he became prez.
Nobody had any reason to. His life hadn't been under the same microscope.
Or is it surprising to you that there's a correlation between looking for more and finding more.
posted by ptown_trojans_1Abrams isn't being stupid, she is just going through her options. Given how close it is, I don't blame her for trying to draw it out.
She is being stupid. She should concede. Calling for another vote is absurd. I’m old enough to remember when not accepting election results was a threat to democracy.
Suing for a complete do-over of Election Day is one of the stupidest things I've ever seen. It's probably for the best that a loon like Abrams lost...the people of GA should be breathing a sigh of relief.

Havent followed this but has she played the gender or race card yet?

I agree actually. It appears Kemp is above the 50% needed. The talk of voter irregularities is suspect and may not be able to make up the difference of 18k. This drawn out process will only bolster Kemp and Trump for that matter.
Same goes in Florida as well. For the sake of the country, if all the votes have been counted, and you are still down, concede.
I do have this feeling in the back of my mind though that we will be sitting here two years from now, with say Florida and another state in the balance and if Trump is on the brink of losing, he will pull the same shit, question the results, complain about fraud, and not concede.

Only the left can question an election?

LOL. I'm saying they should concede. So, no, I'm not saying that.

Obviously not. Do you not remember ACORN?
The point he's making ... and it's not a bad one ... is that Republicans will pull the same shit, and most of their supporters will get behind them when they do it, even though those same supporters are calling Abrams out for doing it here.

Yup. I’m sure repubs have asked for a recount. You’ll NEVER see icl and spock calling them sore losers!

Being a politician or a heavily partisan follower of one side requires either a denial of hypocrisy or at the very least ignoring it.

She's calling for a whole nother fucking election. I'm fine with a recount, but the retards in Florida couldn't even do that correctly this time. Don't let facts get in the way. Also, historically, recounts don't change things much unless you're under 1000 votes or something.

She's not asking for a recount. I am never backing someone calling for an entire new election. And it was the left who went crazy thinking Trump might not accept the election results if he lost, yet here we are with which side ACTUALLY isn't accepting it. Can play hypotheticals all day, but here it is actually happening.
Call for a new vote ……………..hysterical.
‘I lost, I want a do-over.’ Spoiled, uneducated, immature …
It's going to come to a point where there will have to be a bipartisan committee per state whose sole job will be to count elections while being on CC tv. Because clearly, jackassery will not abate.
It's like Sherrod Brown said, "If Stacy Abrams doesn't win in Georgia, they stole it."

She hasn't made a decision to do it or not yet, maybe you should hold your horses.
What do you mean by "uneducated"? I'd be interested to hear that.
She just delivered arguably the most butthurt "concession" speech I've heard in several years, so it appears to be over.
Can't imagine her career ever advancing past the statehouse at this point...what a loon.
Just read that the dems turned Orange County all the way blue. That's pretty significant, TBH.
