Stacey Abrams Did NOT Concede, She Never Lost, She Was Cheated

"This is not a concession speech."

Stacey Abrams, who served as minority leader of the Georgia House of Representatives from 2011 to 2017, is a living revolution wrapped up inside the package of a fierce, intelligent, and independent confederate flag burning black woman. At times, it has been said that surviving as a Black woman in the United States is a revolutionary act in and of itself. Revolutions are not won on just one battlefield, or at one time. Some revolutions are like a gentle breeze upon the sea, a breeze that builds waves, waves that roll and build into tsunamis; eventually those tsunamis break the levees of oppression, washing away old powers to make room for new coalitions.

But the levees of Georgia unfortunately held, and it took every underhanded, scandalous, unfair, sneaky, dirty, rotten trick to ensure they held. The levees of white dominance held this time... but its foundations are crumbling.

This particular revolutionary wave, while it did reach the Georgia coast, did not deracinate the "Good ol Boys" from their cozy haunts in the upper echelons of power where they have been planted for generations. What this wave did do was test the strength and durability of the levees around the boundaries of white male supremacy in the South. The waves found cracks aplenty in the flawed system, and it forced the would be "Lords of the Land" to be blatant, bold, dishonest, and disreputable while under public scrutiny. The nation was watching aghast; America was filled with anger, sadness, disgust and misery, yet strangely, it was fortified with determination and resolute about changing the future. This will not be our tomorrow, America says to itself. For the first time ever in a long time, America believes itself capable of fulfilling that promise. The inheritors of the bulwarks against black liberation and empowerment are living on borrowed time, and Father time always collects his debts.

The Voting Rights Act was supposed to be our salvation. It wasn't. Broken and weakened, the VRA has become so impotent, it is and was unable to do its fundamental duty of ensuring that black people are allowed to vote and participate in our Democracy as equal citizens. It was bound to fail, perhaps even born to fail, in a nation where basic Civil Rights for black people are left up to the whims and vagaries of the inattentive and often unempathetic white majority.

4. hoping when we get back congress and the white house we pass a new voting rights act

because my goodness, do we ever needed it.

just imagine the absurdity tossing out registrations and ballots because "signatures don't match" when the decision is made by someone with no training in handwriting! and no chance for the voter to explain what happened or "try again".

I say we use voter ID and Retina scan match...

13. She's left us behind, but has bloomed into a voice to be heard by many more.

She's powerful now that she's no longer constrained. It's not often we get to see this happen. Honestly, I don't recall it ever before.

10. Every Real American Should Vow To Make Brian Kemps Life Unbearable

Find some way to attack (legally) this piece of shit Kemp.

Be unrelenting.

When he slimes out of his scumhole have a thousand protesters lined up wherever he goes.

Sue the crap out of him and Georgia if you were screwed.

12. Thank you Stacey.

I will call you Governor Abrams just like I call Hillary Madame President.

Both elections were stolen.

Put their photos next to President Gore...

This shows why insane people never realize that they are.

Okay. I'll admit it. In a way, i suppose it could be said that the socialist woman was cheated by a number of her "voters" not being allowed to cast a ballot for her: however, this was done out of compassion. Almost every single illegal and dead person that was prevented from voting for her would have had to go through an extremely unsafe democrat section of town to get to the polling place. Abrams and her shills ought to be thanking Kemp and the local poll workers, but I guess she and her people do not have any care for illegals and dead people.

The Bravenak moron found a bigger audience? Hard to say with a blog. If a braying ass goes to the top of a hill, does it have a bigger audience or are more people annoyed by an ass?

Stacey and the Ds cheated as hard as they could and she still lost! Not fair!!!

I'd love to see a demographic breakdown of the GA vote. Did blacks in GA vote their skin color the way DUpipo, the Ds, and Abrams assumed they would?

You're asking the totally wrong question, the one everybody asks even though it's unimportant.

Screw the demographics; I'd like to see a breakdown between real people who voted, period, and votes that were created out of thin air.

Then after determining that, we could get around to deciphering demographics.

They simply cannot accept the fact that people think differently than they do. Not only do they think differently, they vote differently, and we have different outcomes from the elections.

For instance, the economy is better than its been in a decade. That isn’t an accident.

That was a nice subtle dig at Lil Willie Pitt. 

[Skul]

She had an intervièw with Tàpper on CNN.
Tap did his best to o get her to admit that Kèmp
wa the legitimate winner.  (fat chance with that)

“Sherrod Brown says the election was stolen. Do you agree that it was stolen and do you think that Brian Kemp is not the legitimate governor-elect of Georgia?” Tapper asked.
Nothing wrong with that question, nothing at all.
Now the fun begins.          

Read Àbrams response below.
“The law, as it stands, says that he received an adequate number of votes to become the governor of Georgia,” Abrams began. “And I acknowledge the law as it stands. I am a lawyer by training and I have taken the constitutional oath to uphold the law. But we Who is "we", butt-nugget? know sometimes the law does not do what it should by allowing endless time to "find" thousands òf votes so I win.  and something being legal does not make it right". In this case, it IS right.

Also, FlippyDo, those dead people would have been at risk from those people who got carried away watching the Walking Dead.  They may have gotten an ax in the noodle!

As I posted at CU, Democrats NEVER lose elections, they are stolen or are cheated.

It orginates from a famous golf mantra...any real golfer never misses a putt, they were robbed.
