When I read the various post here I constantly see responses that basically say "I am not playing anymore'
If I have learned anything in my 50 years on this earth it is that the system will find you whether or not you choose to play. Go ahead and be disappointed with the election outcome but don't imagine that you have put yourself in a better position or have taught the system a lesson by not playing/voting. If I were from the left I would be all over conservative sites right now with defeatist post about how we should not play and not vote. Then I would laugh my leftist head off when some here agree! This is not time to sit it out. The left will overplay their agenda and we will have a chance again in the near future but we need to play the game and make smart votes ... not pout in the corner like children. |

Quite the opposite. We need to start playing their game and get good enough to beat them at it.

The only path to winning is to play their game better than they do. It will take time (maybe our lifetime) and we will not always win.
Activism, time, money, votes - the recipe for success. |

We have rules. We'll have to break some of those rules for it to be a "fair" fight.

I will always vote regardless of the results of level of fraud.

What I don't think: 'next time will fix everything' or we have to love the 'republican party'
These things are often said sarcastically here but no plan for victory is given after it is said. Just pouting and 'I quit' or 'Things didn't go EXACTLY as I would have wanted with the Republicans so I hate them completely' To those who feel this way, let the Left have their way truly unopposed for a while. They will find you eventually. Honestly, the only options are: play the game better and fight for what we want. Win some / loose some but fight for it at the polls ..... OR suffer under the yoke surely to be placed upon you. |

Until vote counting is completely transparent and accurate to anyone that looks into it, confidence in the result is steadily decreasing. As long as Republicans are locked out of the counting process in the deep blue cities, it's a hard sell to convince people that the winner of the election is the people's choice.
That's not to say people will hesitate to vote in local elections where the counting process is more accessible and transparent but the vote for President is going to see less participation. |

We can't play to win unless the powers that be give us a true choice. Trump was as clear of a choice that there ever was. We still lost. The people in power now will never allow it be easily taken from them. As the saying goes you can vote communism in but you you have shoot your way out. This is not a game to be played, this is real life and these folks are not playing around. Out of all the federal level republicans how many are true to the cause?

What would happen if the fans at a Harlem Globetrotters show pitched in to hire a real team to play them instead of the Washington Generals? Trump got in because he didn't have to play in the money primary. He bought his way in. That scares the shit out of the Bundlers which is why they want to close the door to self-funded candidates.

Voting is controlled, conducted and counted at the local level. No where in the country do we have centralized state vote counting.
To the extent that there is any fraud, it occurs in a few urban filth centers scattered around the country. Otherwise, you have to subscribe to the completely insane and loony conspiracy theory that every election official in every precinct in every town is all part of "they" and a secret lizard person. Think about it, the GOP picked up seats at the local and state level all around the country? How did this happen if the entire system is rigged? And no, the aliens didn't just forget about those races. The vast majority of precincts and states DO NOT use dominion voting machines. Data analysis shows, precinct by precinct what the returns are, and those can be compared to previous elections. Mail in voting is a problem. Fraud occurs there. Ballot harvesting is a problem (if only one side is doing it.) But secret aliens and statewide counting simply doesn't exist. If you are a mouth-breathing moron who decides that you won't vote, then you are the definition of a useful idiot. |
