2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumThis century, the only way the GOP have won the oval office is by THEFT. We are the
biggest Banana Republic of them all. Stepping back... how do we not blame Democratic leadership?
Dem 'leadership,' and all of us, have done little/nothing to CURE this. We probably haven't had clean elections since ? when? and none foreseeable in our sad future.

(57,495 posts)We know how to raise funds, Bernie's and Hillary's campaigns both did that effectively.
It should be easy to adapt that online programming knowledge to to raise money to get this issue "bigly" in front of the American people.
Give the public the facts on the cheating and how twice since 2000 the candidate with the most votes did not win because of the unfair weighting of EC votes favoring sparsely populated states, and of course the repug cheating/dirty tricks Crosscheck program that scrubs AA, Latino and other POC-sounding names off voting rolls, not counting provisional ballots foisted quite often onto POC voters, broken voting machines not fixed in AA areas, easily hacked voting machines with no paper trail, caging, closing polling places in minority areas, shutting down early voting, voter ID laws let's make a HUGE ISSUE of all the sketchy tactics in the repug arsenal to steal elections.
And let's not let up on it through to the 2018 elections. Let's make Congress, and the complicit MSM have to deal with the issue of stolen elections.
The postmortems of "it was Hillary's fault/Bernie's fault have to stop now.
We know what we're up against. The election was lost to repug cheating which we haven't addressed. We need to NOW.
