when your country has become a criminal fascist state ruled by a dictator who has the media, the uber rich, the justice department, the Federal courts, the Supreme court, 2/3rds of states & Federal governments on his side?
What Do you do when you have an election and nothing has changed, when that criminal government continues to work with enemy foreign governments and that criminal dictator breaks laws on a daily basis with impunity?
What Do you do?

I love Conan without Borders. Shows that regular people are generally good hearted... it's the politicians who suck and create hate.

(151,563 posts)We're on a 2 and 4-year election cycle. Meanwhile, vote and bring others to the polls to vote, as well.
Defeatism never won an election. GOTV wins elections. I suggest that if you're looking for something TO DO.

I can tell you that elections in Minnesota, where I vote, are secure, accurate and free from fraud. Of that I'm quite certain. So, I'll be proudly going to the polls on election day and casting my vote, every time there is an election.
What is your suggested alternative for 2020? Should we boycott the polling place? That would ensure that the Republicans won.
One thing's certain: If you don't vote, for any reason, your vote will not be counted at all. Think about it.

How many years to recover though is what I am fearing down the road.
That and climate change predicted to wipe us in my so called lifetime?
