44. it should go in the fantasy election game forum

...or the old conspiracies group.

It doesn't belong in the faces of people working to elevate and support the people we goddamn already voted for and won in a democratic process.

This is like something I'd expect in a country that has no regard for the democratic process of elections, and works to organize something resembling a tyranny with elected officials using the weight of their offices to overturn votes cast in an election.

This isn't 'bed wetting.' It's finger pointing at anti-democratic twaddle posing as populism.

The shitting on voters like republicans, contemplating an entirely new slate of candidates; alternative candidates, if you will. Fake electors picking a nominee FOR US (there's your CAPS).

Get it right.
