(13,390 posts)Democrats are not above conspiracy theories and hysteria, though.
The fact that 46% of the population didn't vote means that the public impetus to go all in and provoke the anxiety we saw in 2000. It would not endear people to her more, if anything it will backfire. Repubs win a veto proof congress in 2018. After hundreds of books defending the original results were published and that conventional wisdom would become Hillary supporters were outraged that Trump said he wouldn't accept the results and turned around and did it themselves. We cannot have it both ways and would pay dearly in the future trying. We will have wasted a lot of time and energy building a precedent to challenge every future election.
Be spiteful and resist, but lets not be dumb enough to ensure a nightmare presidency and who knows what kind of unrest.
