13. Oh, please
Welcome to DU, but for GOD's sake (and ours), please don't pontificate on things you obviously know nothing about. At least have the grace to pose your lectures couched in more modest terms of mere personal opinion.

On the other hand, if MASSIVE fraud that would affect the outcome of this election is found, and PROVEN, of course it should be pursued,

Chum, you can't find the fraud OR the proof of it unless you do the PURSUING (investigation) first.

Further -- and I like to ask all our skeptics this question: what constitutes "proof" for you? I never get an answer. Wonder why?

Jesse Jackson had it right today: we can take winning and losing, but we can't take fraud and theft.

This isn't about anger over losing -- it's not even about anger over having yet another election stolen. It's about FIXING things -- exposing the damnable machines, exposing the massive vote suppression, making changes at state and federal levels so that we save democracy, LITERALLY. That's what's at stake.

You can believe anything you want to, makes no difference to me. But your pontification is an insult, borne of ignorance of the subject. Of course, there are those who might say your argument perfectly mirrors rightwing "get over it" talking points. And I certainly would understand their concern about that.

If you wish to actually UNDERSTAND this issue, and why DUers are overwhelmingly on the "fraud" side of the debate, I challenge you to take a nice, long, leisurely walk through these threads -- all of them, including links:

Unless, of course, you have no desire to educate yourself about this critically important issue.
