Hillary will not contest anything in the future. For one the results are muddied enough that it will be difficult to overturn the results if not impossible. With the electronic machines there is no way to verify a damned thing. Other factors that the GOP set up made the election close in the first place.
The most important reason is that Hillary and her family would face a RW backlash that would endanger her and her family. She would have no Secret Service protection. The militias and Oath Keepers would be danger because lord only knows what they would do. Everything that is going on now in relation to Hillary is about being silent. Imagine how hard it is for her right now. Se is still getting vilified every day in some way. And you must realize some nutcase might actually go after her.
Hillary still faces fake prosecution and jail. Look at what happened to Don Siegleman who still has not been pardoned. We now will have a power structure that can actually make something up and go to trial with it. We will have a system that will really and actually use kangaroo courts.
Look at what is waiting in the wings. That view should tell you something. Hate crimes in the future will go uninvestigated and ignored. Our version of krystalnacht may soon begin. We can only imagine the storm coming.
So if Hillary tries to contest it will be brutal. Really we actually have a PSYCHOPATH now in the White House with all is henchmen.

(3,194 posts)They fucking hate her already. That's why the election was close enough for them to steal.

(10,291 posts)and pretending that the US will 'erupt with hate" so that is why she shouldn't or won't contest is some pretty weak tea, to say the very least.

(10,602 posts)No matter how strong you are you can only do so much. Hillary has done far more than anyone alive for this country. To be rejected and character assassinated and taken it with grace takes such a toll. We really cannot ask her for much more really.
If it were me the way he treated Hillary a bullwhip would have been my next reply. That one debate was so horrible.

(12,051 posts)what they deserved. It's been obvious for a while that this country is going rightward and that reason, science, fairness and common sense are going by the wayside. In addition, she wouldn't be able to get one goddamn thing done anyway, because of the House and Senate. So, really, what's the point? We'd just have another hamstrung semi-corporatist Obama for 4 or 8 years. Even if she magically became a progressive firebrand, nothing would get passed.
We don't have time for that -- and, in fact, it's probably too late already to ameliorate the effect of climate change no matter who is in office. The Pubs don't believe/care, the Dems would be hamstrung. So we are stuck no matter who's in. Maybe it's better that the shit really hit the fan for a serious wakeup call. Maybe the wakeup call won't matter, but nothing we've said or done has mattered, either.
