All that our people have done so far is made efforts on TV and elsewhere to humiliate GOP senators into standing up to Trump and telling him it's time to move on. We've all seen how that's turned out. Meanwhile, Trump just goes on forever, lying as usual, lying continuously about it because he knows that his lies will eventually stick with the less intelligent segment of the population.
Maybe our people should turn the tables and make claims on TV how it's Trump who rigged the election...but how he didn't rig it quite enough in the states where Trump is disputing the results. Maybe we should start claiming that if anyone needs a recount, it should be us, not them, and suggest that recounts should be done in Florida, Texas, and North Carolina where Trump's efforts to rig the election were actually successful.
Maybe it isn't feasible to do that, I don't know, but instead of sitting by the wayside waiting for Republicans to do something that we know they will never do, shouldn't we instead do something to turn the tables on them for a change? Got any ideas?

For example, push an all paper ballot initiative, make it easier to register, expand early vote, reestablish parts of the voting right act that were gutted.

He is a world-class liar, too. That cannot be stressed enough.

(9,474 posts)When I point out that Trump has not proven that there has been any election fraud.
If an individual is not honest and/or not dealing with realty, the best bet to throw them is to go on the attack with whatever BS you can think of. That's what Republicans do all the time. Even better if you can pull off a gish-gallop.
