Are any election fraud protests planned? |
|
At this point, I'm seeing reports already of voter disenfranchisement, voting machine "malfunctions", "spoiled" ballots, lost registration, voter intimidation. The point is that it's not a matter of if the GOP is cheating, but how much they are cheating.
Don't get me wrong, I'm actually optimistic. There's absolutely no way in hell the GOP can retain control of Congress given a fair election, and I'm cautiously optimistic that even with all the election fraud, the GOP won't be able to withstand the Democratic tidal wave, and we'll retake the House, and maybe the Senate.
But, as the saying goes, hope for the best, but plan for the worst. My wildest dreams (aside from Democratic victory) are to see a general strike across the US. Every city shut down. Businesses closed because employees didn't show up for work. University classrooms empty. City centers filled with protesters. A huge series of protests like those that happened in the Ukraine, or now in Mexico, demanding fair elections, and demanding the immediate resignation of everyone even slighly involved in election fraud. In short, an uprising strong enough to take our country back from the criminals that have been running it into the ground for the past six years.
Does anyone know if protests are being organized? Or what other plans are in the works for after the election?

We should not take it lying down again.

2. That pic is exactly what I want to see on November 8th. |

Whether we win or lose on the 7th, there's going to be election fraud, and I want enough of an outcry to make the motherfuckers who perpetuate that shit regret ever being born.
Why yes, I'm angry...
