I disagree. If enough Americans stopped being cowards, there could definitely be a change.

Wrong attitude. You're giving away the whole kit and kaboodle.

I hear what you're saying and have similar concerns. But here's the thing. There are certainly a lot of very good reasons to question the integrity of the process and validity of the outcome, but that's where we're at right now - questions. Elections are still a very distributed, decentralized process. Even if all the concerns we have are completely justified, there's no guarantee that your district or my district are corrupt, or so corrupt that there's literally no point in casting a ballot.

Don't view it as a demonstration of faith in the system. View it as doing what you can do within the system, while also working outside of that process to return integrity to it.

If you're complaining that the process is corrupted and state that you won't participate in it, then you're effectively arguing against the system altogether. At least that's how I'm hearing you. And that's also what the other side wants. Fight harder.

Its not half, its ~48% at best. And what you do, is use the radical left government to confiscate their wealth, their labor, & their future earnings.

Sorry, but its all over for the top 49% (not including the top 1%). Its just a matter of how long will it take them to succomb. The closer to the bottom of that 49% the faster you'll be eaten. People like me, in the top 2%, will be able to leave the country, so long as we don't wait too long.

Go ahead then tough guy. Curious to see how that works out. What is you're trying to restore exactly?

I also wonder what the rough plan is.
Is the goal to put trump back in office once you overthrow the government? Do you plan on removing every democrat? Does this involve executing government officials, judges, military leaders. Is there another country doing all the heavy lifting? Once the military is disbanded how do we protect out country and our overseas interests.
I have so many questions for all you posters who hope to do this.

You're clearly participating in this thread for the sole purpose of trying to annoy people. I would love to see your face when or if you ever wake up. Turn off CNN.

Complain?

There's certainly no shortage of that from the right.

Vote?

You have and you lost, get over it.

Violent revolt?

How many jail cells (gallows for treason?) should we plan on?

What?

Lose the lunatic fringe with its wacky ideas, get some quality candidates who actually have constructive
ideas and aren't merely opportunistic grifters who think a flag pin on their lapel makes them a patriot, and stop whining.

You know those on the left are Americans too right--

We become moderates, compromise, acknowledge that one party does not have lal the answers , that there is benefit to be gained to work together.

Or you can rant, rage and call names and insult.

It's a one-party Republican state around where I live. The Democrats are sitting at the third party table with the Libertarians, Greens, and Constitutionalists.

The fight here is against the corrupt conservative.
