I think a win we need to talk about more tonight is the fact that Brad Schimel conceded and he did so immediately. This is a Republican, who was backed by DT and EM who literally tried to steal the election and he conceded - ThreadSky

This is why it was so important to beat him by such a large margin. Way to go Wisconsin!

Praise the action of conceding elections and punish those who won't.
We need to make it a criminal offense to not concede an election in the face of overwhelming evidence.
That way they get their day in court and can present all the evidence they want to a neutral body. And if they lied then jail.

An important point. I was half expecting an immediate Trumpian repudiation of the result and the kind of pissy “legal” challenge we have seen so often when the whiny Orange Fuhrer gets bested in a fair fight. Maybe this is the tide turning.

This feels like congratulating a preschooler who just lost at Candyland for not throwing a tantrum.

It's a low bar, but also one so many Rs have recently failed to clear.

phunkinpunk.bsky.social•2 days ago

Agreed. The bar is so low the Rs could trip over it, but at least there’s no energy, time and resources being wasted this time by them disingenuously disputing Crawford’s win and undermining the perceived integrity of our voting processes.

MAGA is nothing but preschoolers losing at Candyland.

Someday, America will have adults back in charge.

This is true, but look at North Carolina as an example of why we should, in a positive manner, acknowledge the Schimmel concession.

I mean, he lost by double digits, so even by GOP standards it would've earned him a lot of raspberries, but sure, it's something

goldenfinch.bsky.social•2 days ago

Definitely not! Talk about it sure but … NOT MORE than such an historic win in the face of such election interfering corruption by Musk. Things have come to a fine pass when politicians have to be congratulated for conceding they lost - behaviour that used to be considered normal - let that sink in.

I was so relieved to hear that he'd conceded. I was expecting a situation like the one that's still problematic with the NC Supreme Court election last November.

I didn't realize how much anxiety I'd been holding over the possibility of post-election ugliness.

This is a good point. Thanks for making it.

We in NC wish that Jefferson Griffin would rise to that low bar & concede the election he lost in November rather than continue his quest to disenfranchise NC voter’s.

And we wanted to make sure that we ran the table to win by a large enough margin for Schimel to concede right away.

Looks like Crawford will win by 10 points, almost parallel to the 2023 Wisconsin Supreme Court race.

That's a decent thing to do, but I'm old enough to remember it was the totally expected thing to do.

lizamazel.bsky.social•2 days ago

yeah he gets no brownie points, more: oh, it IS still possible to do this, look and learn, GOP scuzz

This is the kind of result we need to deliver in the midterms.

So that when - not if - Trump rejects the results, there can be NO room for question no matter how motivated the reasoner.
