Al Gore is an adult. He conceded
Moore is pathetic. He will never ever concede. Very sore loser. One of the most sore losers ever in an election.

Al Gore
“I accept the finality of the outcome, which will be ratified next Monday in the Electoral College . And tonight, for the sake of our unity as a people and the strength of our democracy, I offer my concession.”

Pretty classy statement.


You are right a pretty classy statement. Now if only get all the dems and lefties were to issue a similar classy statement about Trump winning the presidential election the US could get on with its life.

I called Moore a pathetic man.

You felt the need to respond by bringing Al Gore into it for some reason. Al Gore conceded.

It's that partisan "both sides" reflex that you righties often rely on to try to make a point.


You said I defended Moore. Read your words from the previous post you made. I agree with you that Moore is a pathetic man. What is wrong with you that you can't understand that? Moore asking for a recount is one of his least objectionable actions. Just like with Trump, lefties like you can't seem to focus on what is really wrong with someone, and have to include everything that person says or does as a terrible thing. Trump and Moore have so many weaknesses, if you stick to the real ones your points are stronger than if you try to besmirch them on everything. Too bad you can't understand this.

That is correct.

Roy Moore doesn't concede.

Quote:
He ran for governor in 2006 and 2010, losing in the GOP primaries in each race. Moore lost 66%-33% to Bob Riley in 2006. In 2010, he finished fourth, with 19%. He never conceded either race.


He is a pathetic POS.

check the timeline, this was after the supreme court decision. BTW I am amazed at how people have forgotten what we were headed into: it appeared possible that we would advance into the new year without a settled election.

Trump is worse than a sore loser. He's a sore winner.

And so are many, if not most, of his supporters.

They're not content to have won the election, they want to rub it in, and they want the opposition to acquiesce to all the lies the Orange Twit and his enablers propagate and believe, from the magnitude of his electoral victory (barely won in reality), to complete unquestioning agreement with his policies (in reality he's pandering to the worst elements in the GOP).

Well, it was Trump who started with all that nonsense about the size of his crowds at inauguration. It was the beginning of a long line of dubious claims.

Is it really that hard to understand why he doesn't get the classy response?
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?
