The Democratic Party has to create a BIG committee dedicated to stopping the r's from stealing

[Maraya1969]

elections!

Republicans know that they cannot win without cheating. And this is becoming more so since our minority populations are growing and becoming a powerful voting block

It pisses me off that this election was hacked and stolen and that the Dems let it happen.

It pisses me off that the Dems did not stop the purge of minorities from voting rolls which gave the Republicans certain states and the electoral votes they needed to win.

It pisses me off that the Dems do not proactively create laws or do something that would counteract the continuous barrage of Republican laws whose only aim is to stop certain groups from voting.

We need to stop the current situation where Republicans do something evilly crafty to serve their own ends and only then some Dem lawyers file a suit to stop them. For them it is a law of averages. They enact unconstitutional laws continuously and they know that some of them are going to stick!

Where are our rules? What are we doing to make sure the elections are fair beyond fighting the unfair Republican rules AFTER THE FACT?


We need to start right now for the next election in 2 years. I don't know exactly what we need to do but there are people far more experienced and knowledgeable that can figure out how to stop those fuckers from cheating every damn elections!

If you don't think it is that important remember this.

The numbers of people who have DIED because of the theft of the 2000 election is way past several hundred thousand. That war also caused an untold number of dismembered, brain damaged, and mentally damaged people.

What is the next huge tragedy that will happen because the Dems did not proactively protect our democracy?

1. I''m pretty much with you except one important caveat:

Trump is not yet POTUS. I contacted my 2 senators and congress person asking them to demand that electors be briefed on the findings of the CIA and FBI on the Russian interference in the election and the the collaboration by the Trump campaign in that interference.

2. But that also goes to my point. It was obvious to me that there were tons of fake news

sites, which we find out now were probably Russian made for the most part.

But even if they weren't. Why wasn't the DNC fighting to get those websites down before the election? (Edit) It was pointed out that you can't take another person's website down. However you can stick up a bunch of Dem websites with the truth on them so they can at least compete with the fake ones!

I already wrote a post about it. You could type in something that was flase and find 4 Google pages of websites repeating the same thing. They caught on to our, "cite your source" thing. So they just made up a bunch of different sources and people thought, "Oh well, everything seems to be saying the same thing so it must be true"

Did the DNC not notice this and if they did why did they leave everything until after the election. Even FB said, after the election, that they would take the fake news sources out. WHY didn't the Democrats fight against this bullshit before the election?

I know that Trump probably won't be made president. But from what I hear these electors might vote for some other republican and then it goes to congress. And the fucking congress elections were stolen too so where does that leave us?

All I am saying is these things should be identified and fought before election day!

4. Because it would be a violation of the 1st Amendment

You don't get to take down websites because the content is is fake or because you don't like what they say.

Unless of course you like living in a police state

5. You can set up a bunch of real websites so they compete with the fake ones!

There was not much thought in the sites they put up. It would be easy for the Dems to do the same. At least they would be among the hundred or so first responses on Google!

3. Kicking. Tell me why this is a bad idea and I'll ignore it too.
