(12,397 posts)Right down to its roots the GOP offering is fraud, theft and false propaganda. While it might seem a throwaway just to maintain a fake smokescreen over undeserved Congressional and statehouse power it certainly is a total attempt to win anyway and any way they can. it is a test of impunity standards every year while Dems remain stationary in honest registration and moderation mode. What the Dems fail to do to protect the vote the GOP dares to take up and reverse on their heads alone.
The ticket represents the heart and core of the GOP whether their voters like it or not. This will end up being groundwork for next time depending exactly on how dependably little the Dems react to this steady encroachment against their vote totals and fair public forums.
It's quite a list, with names and organization trees and specified donors replete with naked agendas that no American in their right mind is quite exposed to by a heavily fraudulent or useless news community.
Registration: Limit all Dem and local efforts to register general voters but allow GOP fraud efforts and their targeted registration of their people. They grouse about early voting, trying to get their losing numbers in but count on big efforts to kill that if they "rebound" in still rigged states.
Removing people from roles. Individual battles and general war will continue with no question it seems of anyone able to lay down a general law or enforcement of the issue. Numerous, dirty and well known methods.
Trench warfare on Obama SCOTUS nominees. If no other obstruction happens, this will to the bitter end. This simply is their golden ticket at the end of the dark rainbow.
The electoral college. Roles have shifted. It is now the GOP, not just complacent but desperate to game the one way you can win with less popular votes- which is very likely since they will not ever benefit the people(47,50,60,80%). You would think with the simple Dem majorities in cities and big states this would be risky, but it is doable, necessary and gamed by "red" state giveaways which is the flip side of the once consistently limited Dem electoral strategy.
Electronic voting machines. For a system of INHERENTLY, by its very nature, insecure electronic translation of ballot choice and counting every stage where an electronic transfer occurs is "hackable". Nothing, nada, has been been to halt or reverse the increase and dominance of this adulterated crap. Every part of the process works for the GOP, from breakdowns(long lines, shrinking number of polling places, ballot switching, bad numbers) to outright total manipulation with man in the middle editing, even out of state is entrusted to GOP leaning companies with proprietary software that rarely follow the weak guidelines and checks where they are in place. The vine of party leadership does not feed reform (or anti-false reform)efforts.
The general corruption of politics by money. The general lack of law and order in elections except for irrational GOP bullying.
Finally, when collared the old political shrug. "We just have to swamp the swamp with more Dem votes, lean more to the general propaganda enforced delusions, live with corruption, face up to the people never being able to match big money(most of which is ending up as our tax and savings funneled into the noose that hangs us)." No vision for reform anymore, nearly as muted as blacked out media news.
By the way, it seems the stories spill out without digging about them using every dirty election trick that ever existed to get the impossible tyranny over the under-served majority. The fact is, pols don't want election laws applied to them as a matter of greatest self-interest. There public treason flourishes as in few other public areas of law.
With a principle of no accountability honest voting is merely the last remaining threat to their careers.
