22. Sour grapes syndrome, maybe?

Dec 2016

I've not sourced any evidence that it's being financed by the DNC. They may be contributing to it now that HRC is onboard. And I'm sure Hillary supporters like me donated to the cause because of the benefit to Hillary in the long run. It appears to be all Jill Stein's thing but I am still stymied as to why. There's no love loss between her and Hillary. They trashed each other during the election cycle. Stein says she's doing it for the integrity of the voting process, which would be noble if I hadn't missed signs of altruism in her persona during her campaign.

But you know what? I don't care who's doing it or why. I'm just glad election mischief is finally getting the attention it deserves that it never got in 2000 or 2004. And if it proves the election was rigged, hacked, flipped, stolen or whatever and the People's Choice gets the presidency she deserves, especially if it exposes Trump for the loser he really is, then I will feel that justice was served and I'll be a happier and much relieved little camper.
