Gabrielle Hanson, the failed MAGA mayoral candidate from Franklin, Tennessee, has yet to concede defeat in an election that ended Tuesday night with her defeat, News Channel 5 reported Wednesday. Journalist Phil Williams wrote in a post to X, formerly known as Twitter, that the city’s incumbent mayor, Ken Moore, had still not received a concession call from Hanson as of Wednesday afternoon. Hanson’s social media accounts, which had been posting daily, were equally silent. Her final post came Tuesday morning, when she claimed that voting machines were malfunctioning (which election officials denied). ...

Sports teams shaking hands after a game--a courtesy of good sportsmanship. Sometimes you win, and sometimes you lose, but the competitors would still show some bloody respect for each other at the end. Those handshakes at the end were a way of teaching integrity, decency and humility--in the face of victory *and* defeat. Win or lose, you were saying, "We competed, one side won, the other didn't, but now that's over, and we'll leave the playing field in good will."

Traitor thugs are spoiled hyper-privileged brats who never learned any of those lessons. They were all raised by violent, amoral sharks who care only about winning at all costs. For them losing is not an option. Only they can win, and if something prevents that, it was because the other side cheated, somehow. Can't be that the other side were better campaigners.

I say good riddance to white trash.

I get your point, but shaking this Nazis hand would do nothing but normalize her.

She can shove whatever "concession" right up her ass.

Even if she gave one, it should be declined in the way I mention above.

She should be shunned by sane society. The entire world will be better off if it NEVER HEARS FROM HER AGAIN.
