If the Dems lose this election, this is what they need to do
They need to use their power in Congress to change voting laws etc.

I'm in Ohio, we have that stupid law to show driver's license. We now have a democrat Gov and he should do something about this.

They need to change the game because right now it's set up too easily for repubs

1. If they lose this election
It's because they are too wimpy to stand up to Republicans, so they aren't going to change anything that the Republicans don't let them change even if they are in the majority!

2. If they lose, they need to give up as a party because they will be a fucking joke.

3. I Ohio
you can show much more than a driver's license. State issued ids, utility bills, etc. can also be used. Yes I agree it is stupid to show ID but at least it is much more broad than just a driver's license.

8. If the Dems lose this election, we need to march on Washington.
We can NOT and will NOT stand around crying about how the election was rigged for the third time and do nothing. Changing congressional law only to be ignored by Republicons will put us back in the same place we are today.

There are laws against rigging elections and yet the Republicons have done it in the last two presidential elections. More laws are NOT the answer.

We Must march on Washington and sleep in the streets for months if necessary. We stay there until a fair election is completed - a recount or re-vote, whatever it takes to get a fair election.

We can not let the corporate media and the Republicons steal this election again.

9. Ix-nay with the Ooze-lay.
Think positive, kids! Visualize success. Keep on working but keep it positive. Nothing to be gained by injecting fear into this thing.

11. I think we need to consider a plan for if/when the Republicons
rig the election. They have done it twice before (with fewer Diabold machines).

We should march on Washington wearing blue like they did in the Ukraine.

10. If they lose this election, they should be fired
especially the Dem consultant class. They are the most pathetic consultants in history.

13. By keeping the election close, the Dem consultants allow the election to be stolen
Obama needs to put aside the professor role and take up the prize fighter one.

17. The Long Knives Will Come Out For Sure
But can we wait for the campaign to end before we do post mortems on it?


That's a rhetorical question and not directed to you...

18. It's the job of the Secretary of State and from what I've read she is trying
these laws are already in place and she is trying to fight them. It may not be completed before this election
