Time to fight back

I hate it when Democrats quietly to political oblivion without even a little fight.  If the shoes were on the other feet after Nov. 8, there would be so many Republican lawsuits clogging the federal courts, Hillary wouldn't get a mention on the news except as the illegitimate winner of the electoral college.  Electors would be getting death threats if they wouldn't agree to vote for Trump, the real winner with 2.8 million more votes than Hillary.  They would be frothing and screaming the election was stolen.  Where is Dem outrage?  Instead we hear senators and representatives opine as how they will work with Cheeto Jesus if he has the "peoples" interests in mind.   What about the flagrant interference in the elections by the Russians and the FBI.  For decades, republicans have excoriated dems for being soft on Russia.  Now they silently accept the gift Putin put under their Christmas tree.  Had Jim Comey published damning evidence of collusion between Trump and the Russians ten days before the elections, he would be sitting before oversight committees in the house and senate for the next ten years and would be wearing a prison jumpsuit shortly thereafter.  I am not advocating revolution, but someone needs to forcefully remind America that our elections were hacked and interfered with by foreign and domestic players and the result is not legitimate and in no way confirms any mandate on the supposed winner.  This election makes Bush vs. Gore look like a picnic in the park and this time around we need to make republicans own every slimy bit of it.
