**You should reverse your concession, call for both a full investigation of criminal activity and demand hand recounts in all seven swing states.  **

In my professional view there are multiple and extremely clear indications the Presidential vote was willfully compromised.

Because the Dem leadership and the billionaire-owned media are too invested in the institutions of democracy to defend democracy itself by pointing out that those institutions broke under pressure from hostile actors that they treated as legitimate.

Also, they're probably worried that their reasonable inquiries based on actual reality will be equated with the fraudulent "stop the steal" AstroTurf campaign.

Doubt it, if there are credible claims of systemic access and manipulation of vote totals, people would be all over that shit. That's not the same as claiming the vote was stolen, and then presenting zero evidence.

Yeah, that's what they said about all of Trump's crimes too, but here we are..

I know. What I'm saying is that they're using the risk of people impervious to evidence as lack of same accusing them as one of many excuses to not admit that the system they hold as more sacred than any ideal is broken and that they did a crappy job defending democracy.
