(8,572 posts)The elections were sliced, diced, and hacked some too. There are so many ways it was cut up and re-arranged you need a spreadsheet to track them. Hacking was only one part of the whole scheme and didn't apply everywhere. We know about Crosscheck and the several million voter registrations removed via this criminal method. Others were simply tossed as in the Charlotte DMV. Many more voters were threatened and denied through illegal voter ID laws and programs in a number of GOP controlled states.
Let us not discuss the enabling of Trump by the MSM as a sideshow. Let us ignore the many streams of Faked news throughout the primary and general elections. No mention will we make of the activities of the FBI Director and several subordinates, or the irresponsible (if not treasonous) actions of McConnell.
Let us never remark on the documented divisive activities of the DNC and HRC leadership, or on their utter failure to field an effective ground game in the upper Midwest in the last weeks of the campaign. Of their hubris that it was all but won we will say nothing. Yes I have issues with how that all fell out. Even so there are still 3 million voters in Cal who had their votes effectively nullified by an archaic sop to the racist history of our country.
We campaigned damn hard here in NC to the last minute. We know the territory and the numbers and they DON"T add up. But we also know what the game needs to be within the party. The middle way is over. It failed, massively.
What we need is a party that works every day, not just every 4 years. That is one effective difference between them and us that really hurts. We need party leaders that are willing to fight for us, every damn day, who enunciate the truths Obama referred to in his speech in the face of the endless lies and bent liars in Congress.
