In reply to the discussion: Magats Stole The Election By Disenfrancement And Purges [View all]ReRe
(12,188 posts)25. Because
we are the hand wringers.
And we are the ones who don't like to be called bad names.
And we don't want people to think we're bullies.
And (even) because Jesus said to turn the other cheek.
We just can't seem to fight. We just take everything laying down.
We just seem to be gullible. Too damn nice.
And we aren't helping nobody being like this.
We're like a bunch of chickens running around in circles with out heads off!
But if you step out of line and raise hell with Republicans for Trump, you're called "too progressive", or "left wing", or " you're too new" or some other Democratic no-no that you've never heard of before.
The Democratic Party needs to get the lead out, once and for all. We need to take lessons from Greg Palast!!!

You need evidence given all of the open and conspicuous effort of the GOP machine to subvert

Absolutely I need evidence. Anybody can just make up numbers and say they show that Trump lost

So you're saying that Palast made up numbers? BTW, nothing in my comment says that I think

I'm not saying Palast made up the numbers. I'm saying he gave no evidence for me to trust they are

I read the article. There is no evidence presented. Just numbers apparently pulled out of thin air.

This is what I have been saying for well over a year, as the gerrymandering & purging have proceeded...
