By not doing the recount the Democrats have given the Greens a real chance to score some major ...

... propaganda points.

The last time the Democrats capitulated we ended up with George W. Bush. I am not crazy about Jill Stein, but at least she is giving people a chance to fight. What are our guys doing besides whining? Anything?

[Thinkingabout]

1. Scoring points?

[RKP5637]

2. Same thoughts here!!! At least someone is saying something. I'm not crazy about her either, but at

least something is happening.

[wcmagumba]

3. Nope...

Said in another thread, it seems that Hillary has moved on...sigh...having a peaceful transition and all...not much actual fight in the Dems as a whole...sigh...

4. Why does the Democratic Party give up so quickly?

I just do not get it?

[EricMaundry]

5. Good question

Making deals? Doing business?

Why not fight?

[shraby]

7. Maybe they are accomplices to the right wing agenda? Just an attempt at a possible

explanation.

17. Some of the anomalies found in the pres election

Were also found in the democratic primaries. Saw it here in one of the original articles by the statisticians who called this out.

13. The market does not like instability.

And the Democratic Party loves the market.

6. Dems kinda of fell into Trumpy's trap...

...with the "questioning the foundation of our democracy" stuff when he said the election was rigged. They can't question it now, with no evidence, without looking like major asshats.

[treestar]

16. Trump looks like a major asshat and it never hurt him

Why do Democrats worry about how they look? Rs would have no trouble with that cognitive dissonance.

8. If there is going to be questions posed about the election, it couldn't come from a better person

Jill Stein is in a perfect place to make these waves. I don't think Hillary should be anywhere near this. Because if it came from the DNC or Hillary, it wouldn't be about the recount. It would all be about Hillary.

[Dream Girl]

9. You are right and there may be more to this than meets the eye.

[AgadorSparticus]

10. I am beginning to think that, too.

[triron]

18. Would really like

to know content of communications with Clinton camp.

[Apex812]

11. That's true.

The Republican party are full of people who lie, cheat, and steal for a win. They haven't legit won a general election since the 80's. The Democratic Party is sadly looking like a party full of losers who sit down when told to. The Green Party has slowly gained some respect from me for having the courage to challenge the results.

The Democratic Party and Hillary could've won some respect had she challenged the results. Nobody cares what the media or Trump think or say about you Hillary! Fight for the people! Fight to save this country Dems! But... looks like it's the Green Party fighting for the people this round.

[Dream Girl]

12. We dont actually know what's going on behind the scenes.

Hillary cannot touch this even if successful,her administration would be tainted. She needs distance from this effort. If Hillary were to push for a recount this is exactly how it would be done, through a surrogate . And Please don't say well Trump is tainted and illigetimate too! He doesn't care.

[mythology]

14. Except for the fact that it's not going to change anything.

There's no propaganda value to the nothing that Stein is claiming to want to investigate. She's going on a fishing expedition. There is no evidence that there was any vote rigging.

[oberliner]

15. She is raising money for the Green Party

She is an enemy of Hillary Clinton and no one should give her any money.

[EL34x4]

20. She's grifting a bunch of people heartbroken over the election

with promises of a magical do-over.

No different than what Orly Taitz was pulling with her birther nonsense. "Just send me some more money to keep the investigation going!"

Except Stein has demonstrated herself to be far better at it.

[Madam45for2923]

19. Jill Stein doing this is fine by me! Gosh it needs to be done!

[JTFrog]

21. Bullshit. By going through Stein, the Democratic Party avoids a circus of major proportion. nt
