BUT, Stalin's quote about those who count the votes decide elections always comes to mind with these bastards. Trump pretty much admitted it when he commented on how he won Pennsylvania.
I remember thinking back in 2004, that the Dem were making the same damn mistake that they did in 2000. The person responsible for organizing elections and counting the votes in Florida in 2000 (Katherine Harris), and Ohio is 2004 (Ken Blackwell) also served as W's freaking campaign manager in that state. The post election stories of lost (& found when necessary) ballots was frightening, along with not enough and/or malfunctioning voting machines in Democratic districts.
Why does stuff like this keep happening? Does anyone REALLY think that rat bastard took ALL the swing states in 2024? And how did McConnell, Collins, and Lady Lindsay all manage to come back from being behind in all polling right before the 2022 elections to winning by the exact same margin? And I think those were all Diebold machines. Why do we allow machines owned by companies whose owners are supporters of either candidate to be used at all?
I am SO tired of "measured and reasonable" responses. We have a lot of young guns in Congress right now who can bring the fire. Schumer needs to pass the gavel and let them. Because as long as the Rethugs know that Dems will listen to the freaking consultants and fold winning hands, they'll never stop.
I've been saying this for a while now, First of all, Democrats need to fire every damn "consultant" they have and hire some damn SALESPEOPLE!!! There are still too many people who think the ACA and Obamacare are 2 different things. It was one of the Democrats biggest accomplishments, and they had no idea how to sell that victory to the public. People thought $35 insulin was done by Trump, not Biden. The Dems should have the likes of Frost, AOC, Crockett, & Raskin (to name the obvious) in front of cameras every damned day calling out the cowardice of the media and the constant lies of republicans. Secondly, we need to use paper ballots for the next few cycles. We're adults...we don't have to know who won 2 minutes after the polls close, and you can't hack paper. Closely monitored voting & counting locales shouldn't be an issue.
