[A progressive just won the special election for a Florida Congressional House seat. In response her GQP general election opponent refuses to concede, despite getting shitstomped by a **59 point** margin.](https://news.yahoo.com/florida-republican-defeated-59-percentage-202832444.html) His excuse is that he has "stuff" proving there was fraud, and no you can't see it because *neener-neener*. Oh and he filed a lawsuit against her even before the election was over, because of course.
That's the unsurprising part. What is...also unsurprising is that her Democratic primary challenger also sued her when he lost.
> Holness, a former Broward County commissioner, filed a lawsuit in November seeking to invalidate the Democratic primary results, alleging that Cherfilus-McCormick's **advocacy for universal basic income was tantamount to bribing voters.**
Real masks off moment with that assertion. Republicans think letting people vote is a "power grab" by the Democrats, while Democrats think giving people a reason to vote for you is "bribing voters" by progressives.
Reminds me of when a progressive won the primary for a NY mayoral race, their Democrat opponent - in a display of "Party Unity" - told Democrat voters to just write his name in the general instead of supporting the winner against the Republican. When the progressive still won that general election, NY just got rid of that city's mayor position altogether.
Never forget that as bad as the GQP are (and they really, really are), the Republican and Democrat party are in truth just the offensive and defensive arms of the same party. And those arms aren't fighting for you.
