They tell the retirees one thing: "Vote (D) if you want your Social Security checks to keep coming." This does. What is different here is that a wealthy individual is paying money to the election operations to do the campaigning for them. If they want to pay campaign volunteers, that's one thing. But paying a government entity to do it is an entirely different thing. >> Even in Georgia, which should have been a Trump stronghold, Trump lost there. Right. Because Fulton County Elections Operations was targeted with millions of dollars from Z to use various efforts that are not acceptable to the voters to rig the elections there. Not only that, in Fulton County there were rather massive numbers of unaccountable ballots because chain of custody was not respected by election operators. >> It's not hard for me to believe that Trump lost "fair and square." Me, either. He is inherently unlikeable, had been under constant attack for four years by Pelosi & others, Covid was a disaster for everyone, and everyone had at least some complaints about it was handled (in fact, even Barr has stated that he believed Trump was unstoppable as of Feb, 2020, before Covid subsumed the country). Democrats were able to weaponize Covid. Good for them. But what they did was over the top. Going around the country getting laws changed, Barr suggests is just how it works and Trump failed by not fighting it in real time. Well, he had other shit going on. It was just messed up. But my complaint is solely about the rigging, because it hasn't gone away. We are in an extremely tenuous position right now, because if Dems are successful in institutionalizing it, there is no reason to think anyone else might be able to win future elections.
