Why NOT to vote Republican

[iris lilies]

Well it's not like I was making public pronouncements during my thought process...I suppose politicians can't ever say "I'm still formulating an opinion on that issue."

Yes I wish they would say that. My local alderman guys do say that but then we’re more in touch with them

Well, the Texas GOP sure went full-Trump at their convention this week.

Among other things, they passed this resolution:

"We reject the certified results of the 2020 Presidential election, and we hold that acting President Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. was not legitimately elected by the people of the United States. We strongly urge all Republicans to work to ensure election integrity and to show up to vote in November of 2022, bring your friends and family, volunteer for your local Republicans, and overwhelm any possible fraud."

And the platform they adopted contains the usual motherhood, apple-pie, and hatred we have come to expect.

Ludicrous! Unbelievable that anyone would vote republican in the future.... The article below was from 2017, interestingly that is what trump wanted done to his VP.

I am so embarrassed of Texas lately. They have gone certifiably nuts.

there’s nothing wrong with motherhood and apple pie although I’m not so keen on hatred. But if more Republicans step up to work the election process, that would be great. Nothing is going to stop any real fraud in St. Louis since it is deeply ingrained, most likely. But if more Republicans would volunteer regularly at the polls, it could make an impact long-term.

years ago I knew the process here and it was that there was supposed to be Democrat and Republican “election judges “and each polling place. The “Republicans “are so few and far between that people who are actually Democrats fill the role sometimes. I believe the process was the local precinct committeeman had to approve the person claiming to be Democrat or Republican. I’m not sure if that process is still in place. I just remember thinking that a couple of the people I saw appointed as Republicans were honest friends, so whether or not they were actually Republicans did not matter to me.

Same where I am IL. Not enough Republicans to poll watch but here independents fill the gap not Dems.

"We strongly urge all Republicans to work to ensure election integrity..."

Translation: "If the Republican didn't win, yell "fraud."
You notice they never challenge or question the results in their favor.

I have never once heard of this in my state. Must be a swing state phenomenon.

Not necessarily--this is a concerted effort to make the electorate skeptical of election results throughout the country.

"Secretary of State Kym Wyman, the only Republican currently holding statewide office, said in a statement that this is “the new reality” for elections officials.

“It doesn’t matter how wide a margin in the results,” she said. “You call everything into question and it undermines the validity of everything in the process.” (Yahoo News)

This bullshit fake election fraud is going to be the undoing of our country. Some people will quietly sit by and be pleased with the results since team ugly red will be the winner when that happens. All I can say is **** them and the god damn ugly horse they rode in on.
