And Now Kamala Harris Is Peddling Election Truther Nonsense

For some time, if you needed a Democrat who actually didn’t concede an election result because he or she lost, it would be Georgia’s Stacey Abrams. She lost by more than 50,000 votes but refused to concede the race. She feels, like Clinton, that she was cheated out of victory—not that running as a Democrat in a red state had anything to do with it. Abrams lost fair and square, but to her, voter suppression, another liberal unicorn, did her in last year. 

This is what she said on election night: “So let's be clear, this is not a speech of concession…Because concession means to acknowledge an action is right, true or proper. As a woman of conscience and faith, I cannot concede that.”

Abrams won’t be running for Senate in 2020 but could be gunning for a rematch with Republican Gov. Brian Kemp in 2022. In the meantime, she’s going on a voter rights crusade. Oh, and she’s fine with illegal aliens voting. Now, Abrams is peddling this war cry: “we don’t need to concede elections anymore, because when we concede, we are condoning systems that are used to oppress us.”

.@staceyabrams giving defiant speech to @AnniesListTX, saying she won't be a "good sport" & go away quietly after election in which she was wronged. "We don't have to concede elections anymore, b/c when we concede, we are condoning systems that are used to oppress us," she says.— Patrick Svitek (@PatrickSvitek) May 3, 2019

Wow. Sniffing glue has detrimental impacts on your health, folks. But Abrams now has company with this election truther nonsense. Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) is joining in on the fun, saying that Andrew Gillum and Abrams would have won their races in Florida and Georgia respectively at an NAACP event in Detroit. She wants a new Voting Rights Act.

Sen. @KamalaHarris speaks to Detroit @NAACP: "Let's say this loud and clear -- without voter suppression, @StaceyAbrams would be the governor of Georgia, @AndrewGillum is the governor of Florida. So the truth is we need a new Voting Rights Act." pic.twitter.com/j37Rjkhcmb— The Hill (@thehill) May 6, 2019

It’s a gross sense of entitlement. We don’t acknowledge defeat because we’re right all the time. This is liberal condescension at its worst, and it’s evolved into a concerted effort to destroy those who don’t agree because…why the hell communicate with those of a lesser human form. That’s the liberal mindset. Former Speaker Newt Gingrich aptly noted that some Democrats have adopted this position that they have a divine right to win elections. In the real world, it’s just called being a sore loser.

The purpose to undermine all elections is to have them end up in the courts where they will lose in the end and claim racism in the SC.

Wonder what she thinks about the guy on the Left with the 37mm launcher on his AR. Not sure what Knucklehead #2 is doing there. Guess he isn’t allowed to carry, yet, so he just holds up the sign. Probably hasn’t fully completed the whole Black Panther Q Course. Knucklehead’s #3 & 4 are good because they have a shotgun and an AK, not ARs, so they’re good.

Huh? You never needed to concede elections - conceding simply means you give up and let the other guy win, usually when there's not much hope for ballots to count your way. If no one concedes, the race simply counts all the ballots and declares a winner.
