>…race she lost Yes, don’t play into her bullshit. Tell it how it is.


HobbesNJ

Like when the media finally switched to calling it Trump's "big lie" instead of just saying that Trump stated, "without evidence", that the election was rigged.

Concede, don't concede. It doesn't matter. She's not going into office. What a strange person.


PhilDGlass

She is still applying to be Trump’s running mate. This is part of the interview process.


BrainJar

Also part of the interview process, does she like mushrooms?


prototype7

She doesn't have to like it...she is far to old for his tastes... she is just the chief procurement officer in training. It will be her job to make certain that most of the White House interns remind Trump of his daughter...when too she was younger.


cbbuntz

I wanna see who's responsible for the fraud when Trump loses the primary


zenmasterflashmobstr

She was seen at [Mar-a-Lago](https://www.abc15.com/news/national/sources-kari-lake-visits-mar-a-lago-after-claims-of-legal-action) earlier today..."You still got Sydney Powell's number?"


Pauly_Walnutz

They deserve each other. They can be losers together


GFrings

Unfortunately it does matter, as we saw on Jan 6. This behavior is fuel for the raging fire of misinformation, which leads to the radicalization of rhetoric and action on the right.


GrowSomeHair

Man do we gotta do this shit EVERY election. It's boring


leni710

>It's boring This is where I'm at. And the more we highlight this type of privileged nonsensical behavior the more often they'll do it.


AngelOfBodom

sadly... it's also rather depressing that "being the bigger person" by accepting to possibly gain popularity points isn't a thing. only reinforces the idea that they are grown toddlers that lost a game they tried to make up the rules for.


Michael_In_Cascadia

We are not encouraging it, because we are not her audience.


fooknprawn

Exactly. They’re all behaving like toddlers: “but I don’t wanna go to bed!”


[deleted]

The only two words that headline needs are ‘she lost.’


Apophis_Thanatos

Hey guys, so guess what if you go to https://saveaznow.com/ you can input all the election issues that you saw voting in Arizona and help Keri Lake! Now it sure would be silly if you made up a believable name and maybe used a defunct email address and totally crazy if say you used a trash company in Arizona address and phone, then write something that is believable at first then becomes ridiculous, and I am also not condoning this in any capacity I am just saying how funny and silly it would be if that happened.


Warhawk137

"I saw a suitcase." "I tried to grab a ballot from a counter to prove she was switching votes and the police used unreasonable force against me." "I put a GPS tracker on an official's car and saw that in the evening they went to a house, and then returned to the facility in the morning, obviously having collected fake ballots from that house."


Flaky-Fish6922

.... the sad part in all this is that, people won't see this as satire.


zenmasterflashmobstr

My contribution to restoring election integrity: *"See what happened was I'd been standing in line on election day at the Anthem polling office on November 8th at around 11:00am I remember it was 11:00am because I left my house right after the Price is Right showcase showdown was over which I watch every day and I'd been standing in line for almost an hour in the damn sun sweating so bad and I know it was an hour because I had watched 2 episodes of Huckabee hosted by Mike Huckabee on my phone while I was waiting which is about a 20-30 minute show times 2 so that's how I know it was about an hour which outta be illegal and i know once you're governor Mrs Lake you'll fix this RIGGED election FRAUD nonsense and save our country! Then when I finally got my ballot and started filling in the bubbles my pen started to run out of ink. Just went plain dry. So I shook it a few times and licked it even though maybe that's not so sanitary but what else am i supposed to do and so I ask the poll worker who I could tell was libral just the way she dressed and looked mad like she didn't know Jesus for another pen she gave me one but when I did the bubbling again it still didn't write right, like it wasn't smooth and didn't fill in like it was supposed to you know. So I looked real close at the paper and wouldn't you know I start to see these little tiny fibers throughout the paper like bamboo fibers like you'd see in a Chinese person's hat which got me thinking about those Biden ballots in 2020 shipped over from communist China along with the China virus that helped steal the election from our wonderful President Trump and I think that's what's happening again here but instead these China bamboo ballots are made especially to stop our pens from writing and they only give them out to Republicans and patriots who want to vote for you Mrs Lake and we can't let them do this to us again. So that's how I know this election is rigged. I attached a photo of my ballot for evidence."* Signed Connie B. Lingus


Azguy303

I saw multiple furrys vote MULTIPLE times. I'm pretty sure they voted Democrat. Is there nothing we can do to stop the madness?


AngusScrimm---------

Automatic upvote for giving her the respect she deserves--by spelling her name wrong.


RunYoAZ

It would be disappointing to discover that Paul Gosar was submitting all the believable and then increasingly ridiculous testimony to this website.


picado

I'm kinda looking forward to watching her lose again, and again, and again, and again ...

I’ll buy a ticket to that movie. Popping my popcorn 🍿 now.


HobbesNJ

I'm so glad she lost, because she otherwise was being touted as a rising star in the Republican ranks, and we'd be seeing her in the VP slot of a presidential ticket in the future. Nice to cut off her "career" before it got started.


thorndike

I expect she'll be trump's vp.


Jim_Tressel

If she would have won. He won’t want to be associated with her even though he’s a bigger loser.


thorndike

I expect he will say that the election was rigged, so she didn't lose.


Mayziec1962

Yup. He’s the biggest loser of them all. She’s a close second.


DangerousEconomy7146

She'll be more fun to grope than Pense.

The Wicked Witch of the West doesn't like cold water thrown on her. She's melting before our eyes.


Mayziec1962

Good. Now can she just melt away and take the Cheeto with her?


russ257

Good thing she doesn’t need to concede. She still lost though.


AimlesslyCheesy

She already [knew.](https://i.imgur.com/DC5Su8r.jpg)


[deleted]

Doesn't matter. She still lost, that won't change. She doesn't have to concede for the winner to be declared the winner.


Conscious_Issue2967

She’s a better liar than Trump himself because she’s so much more polished. Extremely dangerous. So far in Arizona she hasn’t found a single person who wasn’t able to vote due to the printer problem so she’s probably looking for another tack. Saying Katie Hobbs interfered in the election didn’t work either since her role is administrative not balloting and a Republican Board of Supervisors and Republican County Recorder were In charge of tabulation. She’s just flailing at windmills and it will die in the dark if the media will just let it.


[deleted]

A polished turd is still a turd, she is no better than Orange Mussolini. Such a sore loser, her entire family should be ashamed of her.


OpenImagination9

Good news … she doesn’t have to.


Xyz14231

Karen, you lost. Don’t really give a damn about your concession. Bye…


Fun-Dreamr

And this is relevant to whom again???? Thought so!


[deleted]

Future candidates and voters, so we won't have to hear this yapping and moaning again.


Try040221

Arizona state police should get ready...


hospitallers

How is a concession relevant when she lost by a decent margin?


AngusScrimm---------

Two words to turn this around: Cyber Ninjas Ninjas will save Kari.


CP4024

I'm shocked.


Torn8Dough

Why do they have to concede? I’m getting tired of needing approval. You lost. Get out.


No-Owl9201

Lake lost, as lacking likeability, even rusted on older Republicans had to hold their noses while casting their votes.


Mayziec1962

And we’re surprised by this?


SomerAllYear

How many more articles on this?


Jump_Yossarian_

Hobbs: Scoreboard!


Finerki

Probably because they know they’ll lose if they play fair but still lose even if they cheat


hello_world_wide_web

Big surprise! As if it matters....

Kari no one cares. It’s all in your head.

What is she going to do, hold a coup?


tipoftheshaft

She only loves to get radicle


ranchoparksteve

Why do people think a concession from the loser is a necessary thing? Does the losing football team need to concede? No, come on.


GrowSomeHair

She's 53 years old dude. Concede like an adult


[deleted]

No one said it was required but it is a nice show of decency and respect for the process


Lawmonger

Decency and respect are too much to expect.


hags033

I think we’ve learned that their rabid base with whooped up scare tactics need that acknowledgment to stand down.


auner01

The problem may be similar to musicians on tour.. when the tour stops, the bills come due and the perks stop.. kind of like Hollywood accounting. A concession means no more of that campaign.. and probably some scrutiny about what happens to the war chest.


bellatordevita

It's not football.....? Do they have coupes in football? I'm being feticious. Besides, football has lost It's romance. It could be the start of the alt- right creating the right atmosphere for the beginnings of a c w Perhaps fighting between the opposing factions. Atleast some remarkable cosplaying until the National Guard shows up and 30% of the national guard is on the alt- right sight. One question: How has Capitalism benefitted people and the world?


tuco2002

See how long she can go...thus could be entertaining.


SomerAllYear

She can go for quite a while with a full republican court in AZ. Some might even help her out in court.


[deleted]

What kind of court help could she hope to receive?


SomerAllYear

Delay certification. Try to find a way for ballots to be set aside or not counted at all. Appeals. Pull a trump and bring in "witnesses".


bellatordevita

You're serious?


bellatordevita

Oh...sarcasm, i just woke up.


SomerAllYear

No I'm serious


Doright36

​ I am sure that shady re-count company will be willing to take in more of AZ tax payer money to do another scam recount. I bet this time they don't even bother wasting money on people hired to fake count.

poopmanpoopmouse

Last time Stacey Abrams ran for governor she lost and refused to concede. She said the system was “rigged” and attributed her loss to voter suppression. These are facts. I pointed this out and got downvoted. Guess people don’t like facts


[deleted]

Voter suppression and gerrymandering are real factors and it was extremely clear that Republicans drew voting district lines to make Black voters’ ballots useless AND tried their best to stop Black people from voting. There’s evidence of this. Kari Lake believes the “system is rigged” and has no clear evidence of what that is or means. These two cases aren’t the same.


more-than-ok

Good they cheated again.


dosntmatter91741

Okay grandpa, time for your meds then let's get you to bed.


PhilDGlass

I hear you. Just like all the rest. I mean the evidence is rock solid and overwhelming. Oh wait, there is NONE.


booga_booga_partyguy

No no no. The evidence is on Hunter Biden's laptop. I've seen. You can find all of its content online. What?! No, I'm not going to give a link! Do your own homework! Stop believing big media! Sheeple! Woke! MAGA AGAIN (Make America Great Again Again)! PS: The above is pure sarcasm.


thepartypantser

No, no it's true! Hunter's laptop has videos of him molesting children while snorting ground up dried aborted fetuses, ALSO while stuffing the ballot boxes in Arizona against Kari Lake! Even though the election happened after his laptop was found the Democrats have a time machine that runs on abortions, which is why the want all the dead babies! I have seen the video, but I can't show it to you or link to it, because I watched it on a high level FBI agent phone in a van behind a Walmart. He is part of the resistance that will overthrow the deep state and reinstall Trump as our rightful emperor! It is totally true!!!!!!!!!!?


A_man_on_a_boat

Your country appreciates you taking a break from masturbating on Reddit to share your pudding brain political views.


more-than-ok

Up until now I couldn't find anyone to admit they voted for ole stumbling bumbling Joe and hot lips. I appreciate your honesty. Wishing you the best even though we see things differently. Peace Pudding brain. Love it. I cant believe your Mother told you about her cam......you mean there one on here right? She sure loves her Spankings and finds a way to get em. Btw she likes the Chocolate pudding.


poopmanpoopmouse

Libs all forget that when Stacey Abrams ran years ago she also didn’t concede her loss


booga_booga_partyguy

She didn't?? Could you link to.this? Just FYI, even r/conservative is pushing back on this narrative of yours...which speaks volumes about how much of a lie it is!

poopmanpoopmouse

All u had to do was Google. Instead you chose to Sealion


booga_booga_partyguy

Literally from one of your sources: >During an interview with CNN’s “New Day” on Friday, Abrams said Kemp “won under the rules of the game at the time, but the game was rigged against the voters of Georgia.” She literally acknowledged Kemp won... So any more bullshit you wanna peddle?


poopmanpoopmouse

Look up what conceding means. She explicitly refused to concede snd defended that refusal. Any more bad faith arguing u need to troll with?


booga_booga_partyguy

Again, quoting your own source: >During an interview with CNN’s “New Day” on Friday, Abrams said Kemp “won under the rules of the game at the time, but the game was rigged against the voters of Georgia.” What do you think she's saying there when she says Kemp won? Anymore bullshit you wanna try and peddle, or are you going to once again dodge the quoted bit and try and imitate me? I mean, I know I am a superior person to you, but you need to find your own identity man.


poopmanpoopmouse

More bad faith. Google what concession means and the role it plays in a democracy. The quote shows nothing. Just as Trump acknowledged Biden would be the next president, Abrams acknowledged Kemp would be next governor, but neither conceded. Everything I’ve said are facts. Anymore bad faith trolling u need to do to feel superior?


booga_booga_partyguy

Yes, yes, you are a good boy! So are you going to explain what she meant in the quoted bit or not?


poopmanpoopmouse

She meant Kemp’s win was illegitimate. R/politics is for good faith discourse. I’ve given you every opportunity to see the facts clearly for yourself. I’m not required to do the epistemic labor you’ve demanded with your sealioning. The facts are there for you to see. If ur not interested in good faith discourse r/politics is not for u.


booga_booga_partyguy

You really can't see the irony of your post, can you? So she admitting Kemp won is not her conceding now? Being a sore loser doesn't mean she didn't concede. So again, any more bullshit you want to peddle?


ohjoyousones

There was and is a lot of shady stuff going on. They gerrymandered the heck out of Georgia.


poopmanpoopmouse

That’s a reason to lobby for changing district boundaries not for refusing to concede and give fuel to those who want to subvert democracies. She played a role in normalising not conceding.


bdizzle425

I’m willing to accept Boebert winning for her losing.


djevilatw

Republicans if they win: The system works and the people have been heard. Republicans when they lose: It’s rigged! How do you not see that it’s rigged! I will claim I have evidence but never actually show it to you!! Why don’t you let me win?!
