  1. She doesn’t have a choice. Harris has class- she’s not gonna entertain false electors. I can’t imagine it feels good for her though.

  2. For a man whose fully unqualified to hold a security clearance due to brazen espionage Russian money up the wazoo (according to Don Jr) grape 5mil settlement white people literally chose their orange god who should be rotting in jail with the Rosenberg diseased) and Robert Hansen

  3. Oh ffs.. most of his cabinet/staff picks said the same or worse. Vance called him a moral disaster and “Americas Hitler”.

  4. Maybe if she could have convinced Biden to do his damn job and fire Garland in order to get a AG that would prosecute criminals then we wouldn’t be in this situation.

    I guess the thought of a former President being tried for actual crimes was a bridge too far for our ruling elites because if a former President can be held accountable to the law then all of them can.

  5. Trump IS a danger to democracy. Don’t kid yourself.

    He’s a literal Fascist who tried to overthrow an election, lies constantly, was impeached twice, has a history of sexual assault, was convicted of multiple felonies, suggested snake oil remedies and injecting disinfectant to combat Covid, leading to countless unnecessary deaths, trashed the economy and looked directly into a solar eclipse. Twice!

    The country was stupid enough to elect him anyway.

    Good luck, y’all.

  6. Because she has integrity and respect for our Constitution, unlike him.

    That’s why people were stupid not to vote for her.

  7. If she didn’t it would be no better than what Trump asked Mike Pence to do and caused the J6 riot

  9. It would be amusing for a moment if she acted like she wasn’t going to certify and watch MAGA heads explode

  10. Just like Pence, she has no legal choice. There is no option to not do this.

  11. To be clear, she’s not certifying Donald Trump. She’s certifying an election. The _election_ is what selected Donald Trump.

  12. That is the consequence of failing to arrest and prosecute a terrorist WHEN HE COMMITS THE CRIME.

  14. America has the President it deserves.

    Remember, MAGA: You wanted this.

  15. Correct. Because she is not a danger to democracy.

  16. Yeah, I’m not gonna follow politics much this presidency. I can’t take this shitshow.

  19. What is she to do though? She has to uphold the rules set. He won the election, the American (stupid) people picked him. There needs to be serious discussion and rule changes. We need age limits, mental and health checks on candidates. Also a good chunk of the dang country needs to re watch school house rock.

  21. She doesn’t really have a choice, despite what MAGA would have you believe

  22. She is going to do what is constitutionally required of her . Only until recently that has become an issue. Harris also conceded when she realized she could not win the electoral vote, showing her respect for this country’s democracatic system and doing exactly what is expected of every losing candidate.

  25. I don’t see a contradiction to in this statement. It’s her job. She will do it with dignity unlike him. He’s a colossal ass hat ready to ruin the economy in sooooo many ways.

  26. As it should be. One was her trying to get a job. The other is her job.

  27. Democracy chose to put democracy in danger. It’s an interesting philosophical question, but I see no problem with her giving the US what it wants.

    The real surprise is how Republicans said over and over they wouldn’t accept the results of the election (they don’t believe in democracy) and yet suddenly they’re all on board.

  28. What is she gonna do? Overthrow the Democratic will of the people? I don’t think so.

  29. The vice president does not certify the election. She presides over the session where Congress certifies it. She has no role in deciding.

  31. Ask an average Conservative what’s the difference between a Patriot and a Fascist. They won’t know what either means.

  32. So she should not certify the election and become a danger to democracy herself?

    What is the writer trying to say?

    She is doing her job which she is supposed to do even if ahe does not like the result

  34. Awful article headline. She’s pretty much just there to watch it happen.

  35. That is her Constitutionally mandated role. Gore had to do the same regarding GWB.

  36. Guess winning by majority and popular vote isn’t democratic anymore. Who knew 🙊.

  37. Okay? She’s required to by law. He IS a danger to democracy. Unless something comes out in the next 24hrs she doesn’t have a choice. Just like pence. Let’s just get this shit over with and get through the next 4 years. It’s going to be a complete dumpster fire.

  38. I was told in school there were checks and balances and no man is above the law. The fact that Trump has avoided all responsibility for his crimes and has been thoroughly protected and defended by the system has really destroyed all hope for America for me. I’m done with all of the pretending . The system did not protect us from Trump or his parade of greedy corporate oligarchs poised to steal everything and make all of our lives more miserable and difficult.

  39. “If Kamala Harris still has the courage….”

    Of course she’ll certify it. There’s literally no way this election would or could be overturned short of video showing Trump himself pouring lighter fluid into ballot boxes and holding a match. And even then the smooth brains will claim he’s just protecting America or some shit.

  40. I don’t understand the point of this article lol.
    She’s doing her job as an elected official.
    She’s doing what she’s supposed to do

  42. So she is doing her part within the democratic process… She has stayed true and transparent the entire time to her commitment to respecting democracy. 👏🏼
