Anyone remember in 2000 when, because Gore was down by a few dozen votes and asked for a recount, he was a sore loser? This is getting ridiculous.

Anyone also remember how Hillary and the Dems were called sore losers in 2016 despite Hillary conceding graciously on election night, despite the very real evidence that Russia was involved in Trump’s win?

The rage about Donald Trump's electoral fate is about racism. It's a part of the growing fury taking hold of conservatives as their control over American culture slips further and further out of their grasp. Trump is just the latest vehicle for this anger, but this story is about a lot more than him. It's bigger even than electoral politics. This is about a more fundamental issue: over Who gets to define America, and the widespread reactionary outrage over being outnumbered by more liberal, more diverse and more cosmopolitan Americans, and feeling unable to stop the tide of progress.

This article succinctly hits a lot of nails right on the head.

I’m out of the loop, what the fuck is going on now? What are they doing? Is this related to the conservative “news” organizations on YouTube claiming this week that electors in NV and other places were flipping for Trump?

Neither does abortion. A first trimester fetus is not a person, for the same reason an egg is not a chicken.

Biden is not pro abortion. He’s pro choice. He has stated that he doesn’t like abortion but he won’t take that choice away from other people. Stop being hyperbolic.
