How can we, as republicans, fight back on the crazy that is happening now? (revolution, ideology)

But there is no evidence that any of the above resulted in fraud or error. Aren't you just admitting that the only way Republicans can win is by making it hard for people to vote?

Didnt the efforts on the post office kinda tell you that?

They only way you could win was to illegally change voting laws and use a global pandemic as a political weapon.


Here's some chit for you to ponder, Sherlock:

Voting isn't supposed to be THAT easy

There's supposed to be a system in place that alllows for verification of people voting LEGALLY.

Of people being verified as being American citizens.

Of not voting twice or in two or more locations.

Of actually being alive.

That's why many countries don't allow mail in ballots.

It can't get much simpler than that. That they refuse to get it says a lot about our culture these days.

We lost the ballot box and we lost at the ballot box mean the same thing.

We lost the game, and we lost at the game mean the same thing.

No Clara, you're wrong.

They don't mean the same thing.

We lost the ballot box means losing the ability to decide who takes office by casting votes. That's what Pilot was conveying. He feels that way because he feels that Trump actually got more valid votes than Biden did, with the final totals not being true totals. Not being true totals is materially the same thing as not having a ballot box (a true (correct) ballot box). It's a criticism of how the election was handled.

We lost at the ballot box is not questioning the validity (the results) of the ballot box (the election). It's the same as saying/acknowledging we lost the election. It's an acceptance of how the election was handled.

Guess not.

Your statements and positions only validate the veracity of mine.

Exactly! Thank you. Voting and elections no longer matter. We have lost that institution to fraud and corruption. .

Oh, they get it.

They're just complicit with the way things are now because it's working in their favor.

Kind of like the way they're all for "private companies doing what they want".

cd :O)
