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

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?
