Jill Stein may still be pressing ahead with her recount crusade (she’s raised all that money, after all), but it looks like she won’t be able to count on David Axelrod for his support:

Recounts are cathartic. May help bring closure. But I can't think of a race with these spreads that have been overturned in recount.

Well, shoot. When even a dedicated lefty like David Axelrod is suggesting it’s time to move on … maybe it’s time to move on.

Yes. Baseless recounts undermine faith in elections. Dems have set a new norm. Imagine close Trump loss in 2020

WHAT THE? Did David Axelrod (yes, him) just DEFEND President-elect Trump?!
