It's like watching the NFL and getting hyped when a referee throws a penalty flag.

  1. It's entirely subjective (the ref can do whatever he wants, so long as the other refs agree).
  2. You had no influence in the decision.
  3. No influence in the outcome.
  4. Both teams are owned by the same people.
  5. And finally, this is all over a game which was made up, and is in the hands of other people.

And yet, you still get pissed off about the outcome. Why?

Power doesn't come from political theater. You are doing exactly as you are being told: "get upset over a symptom, ignore the disease".

You are entirely right. We have to keep voting, even though voting is rigged, because if we don't it will appear we have given up.

Also, the dems can't use your voter id when they are rigging it.

My experience with dem voters (socially) in non-political orangization settings in general is that they're going to do the dem cheat behavior there too. I'm set on not trusting them anywhere.

Also important is that /ourguys/ need to start running in uncontested races, becoming Republican electors, do poll watching and counting and more.

There are so many offices that just get defacto turned over to some globohomo piece of shit simply because no one bothered to run against them it's unreal.
