I know that nobody will never do it, but I would love to hear a defeated incumbent say something like this on election night:
"I would like to congratulate my opponent, but I will not, for he is still snake in the grass. He is just a winning snake in the grass.
As for you, the electors, it appears that you are misinformed enough or stupid enough to fire me in favor of the snake in the grass. Best of luck. You'll need it.
I am now off to vacation, to get away from you fools. "
@gshevlin this is why you and i would never run for election. b/c we would actually say this shit.
@Liliki @singlemaltgirl @gshevlin
I think a straight white man could TOTALLY get away with it...probably even gain some new admirers.
Oh, but a black woman, especially, can't get away with it ~ women and POC get dinged for failing to perform "gratitude" just for having the opportunity. It's not as if we've heard the last of Harris; she's keeping her powder dry!
