I too am okay with Trump being gone. What I am not okay with is how it's being done. Long term this is disastrous for our election process. Trust is virtually wiped out, and it's going to cut both ways down the road. Most of America is rolling over for this because in the short term a Trump victory would have brought violence and chaos on a mass scale, perhaps as we have never seen before. Who wants that? I mean really, no sane person actually wants some "civil war". So in the short term we dodge that bullet, but longer term it's going to be the chosen strategy. Eventually it does blow up into an actual streetfighter, but for now we kick the can down the road. I don't envy the young in this country. Honestly I swing between relief and shame watching this unfold. Relieved the fight has been delayed, ashamed of being some frighted old man. Real bitch getting old. I suppose still having something to lose plays a part in all of this. One day that too will be gone and that is when the shit hits the fan.
Agree. This is a real problem. Sending ballots out unsolicited which include a prepaid return envelope is not the way that this is supposed to work.
This massive election fraud possibility must be rooted out and corrected if for no other reason to keep it out of future elections. I don't care how long it takes. It must be done. Remember, I have said that Trump has reshaped American Politics for at least a generation. I'm not wrong with this statement and it is a very Pro-American reshaping.
This is not our fight anymore, jarhead. Now is our time to enjoy our later years with our family, and stay out of history's way. All samurai must sheathe their sword someday. The best we can do is impart our knowledge on the youth and encourage them to think critically instead of doing what they are told all the time.
I completely agree that he has reshaped politics. The next Trump (and make no mistake, there will be another populist that comes to power) will be far more shrewd and far more dangerous because he (or she) will have learned the lessons of this.
Over the years there has been a consistent pattern of Democrats opposing transparency or antifraud measures concerning voting. Whether it is requiring IDs, purging voter rolls, or actually creating roadblocks in transparency as seen in PA, it sure does seem like Democrats are well coordinated and have an ulterior motive. Further, it seems astonishing that Democrats can keep winning giving their history of not representing their constituents or solving problems. The media is a powerful thing. Or is it extra ballots a powerful thing?
Perhaps they were collected, fraudulently filled out and submitted, no matching signatures or proof of identity required. As profound as that statement is, we assume it’s not the case but we can’t prove or disprove it. We should be able to verify the authenticity of every vote but the process we are using prohibits that.
And therein lies the rub with mail in voting. The only way to affirm that the person who voted was entitled to do so is the "signature match". I'm not sure how you sign your checks, but my signature looks like someone gave a sharpee to a doberman. When I voted, in person, in Florida I was asked to show my driver's license. I did, I got my ballot. I cast my ballot. Not completely fool proof but pretty damned secure.
