doing that would risk a civil war and all hell breaking lose, better to investigate in the shadows until enough evidence is gathered then nailing trump's nuts to the wall before he can be sworn inThe Dems might as well invalidate the election RIGHT NOW and remove all the results of the election until every swing state is investigated.
Why wait until Jan 20tb to see how MAGA is gonna react?
That will happen anyways whenever it gets announced (if it does).doing that would risk a civil war and all hell breaking lose, better to investigate in the shadows until enough evidence is gathered then nailing trump's nuts to the wall before he can be sworn in
it might, it might not. better to have preparation rather than jumping into the shyt blindThat will happen anyways whenever it gets announced (if it does).
We can hold our own nuts.
People are giving you some absolute BS responses but there’s more than a few reasons we haven’t heard anything yet from the Harris campaign:
1) there is already an active investigation by the DOJ and they aren’t speaking about it until it progresses further (edit: I have no proof of this; just saying if there was an active investigation in its early stages, we would not be hearing about it yet).
2) a sitting VP investigating the election results after the election has already been called could be construed as a violation of executive power.
3) the optics of Harris interfering with a peaceful transition of power between the incumbent president and president-elect could undermine efforts to ensure peaceful transitions moving forward.
4) questioning the integrity of the electronic voting process could greatly undermine public trust (even further) and cause civil unrest, opening up more doors for foreign agents to sow discord.
5) any serious challenge to election results would ultimately end up in the hands of the SCOTUS, which would be… bad. The conservative majority would likely argue that there’s no verifiable method or process in place to hold another election, so the election results stand. (Awesome. Legal precedent at the federal level for looser election certification process. Great.)
6) the disinformation campaigns and challenges from the now emboldened republican party would be massive and that would make it next to impossible to actually convince the public (and therefore representatives) to do anything about it. If nothing results from proof of election tampering due to bipartisanship, Americans (and the rest of the world) now have to contend with the fact that elections aren’t secure and our democracy is a sham. That is very not good for geopolitics, let alone national.
I’m positive this story will continue to develop and we will learn there was some level of election interference, but I suspect it will be from the media and not from the executive branch. Frankly, if there was any concern that the voting process was compromised, actions should have been taken ahead of the election. It’s the responsibility of the standing government body to ensure a fair election — detecting and investigating it after the fact is a failure of massive proportions.
I want this to be investigated, truly, but the damage is already done. If there was voter fraud, is the new administration likely to do anything about it? Can the current administration do anything that won’t be repealed? Will the vast majority of the public even care, believe, and accept the news? No, no, and no.
Edit to get ahead of this: I’m just giving possible reasons why we haven’t heard anything from the Harris campaign or executive branch, and also why they may be hesitant to react quickly to this news. I don’t think these are necessarily valid reasons for avoiding the truth, as much as I think they are plausible reasons.
Many of you are right in pointing out that the GOP is just as guilty in sowing doubt in the election and the integrity of the voting process (amongst all of their other divisive tactics). Considering democrats have taken a staunch stance opposing claims that the voting process is compromised, it puts the Harris campaign in a very difficult situation. My hope is that whatever happens next is handled with caution and care — and that, if there are any issues, they are addressed in such a way that they can’t happen again.
This is why all those indictments were just a dog and pony show trying to put convicted felon on his jacket because they thought it would matterBiden presidency has been a monumental failure. The US have a corpse in office. Trump should have been prosecuted from day 1 Garland is a piece of shyt. I have no idea how Trump was allowed to run again. They did not acknowledge the major threat that trump posed. You simply can’t combat rule breakers with no ethics with warmth and class.
Yes, they needed to crush him and leave no chance. To see what’s happening now makes me sick.This is why all those indictments were just a dog and pony show trying to put convicted felon on his jacket because they thought it would matter
They half stepped
As expected. Not a damn thing will happen.as quoted from "WelcometoSilentChill" on why nothing has been public about this
If he gets in office, laws don't apply to me or you either.As expected. Not a damn thing will happen.
This is why they had to get him out early. Trump and co probably realized they could do whatever and went for it. It’s amazing how ppl need to follow the law but Trump has made a mockery of the law and every major, respected infuriation in America. All because Dems were weak and delusional.

You think I'm gonna let a criminal ass leader who is committing crimes in front of the world tell me what I can and can't do?
Millions of people will feel like this going forward.
And now Trump and his cabinet are gonna dig in and stretch the rules as far as they possibly can and laugh while nikkas get madAs expected. Not a damn thing will happen.

I would hope at this point that people can see the difference in reception between Republicans and Dems
Dems are perceived by their inactivity and language. I emphasize language a lot in these discussions because nikkas keep downplaying it and downplaying what the right is effective at. Dems are always talking about what they can't do or what they working towards doing. Republicans do the shyt then look at you like do something" That makes a world of difference
