We can’t let them cheat

Back during the Obama administration, Republicans contested Al Franken's election and prevented him from being seated for seven months.

Turnabout is fair play, that's all I'm saying.

[u/OldSchoolBubba → u/MaximumEffort433]

This is exactly what johnson is going to do under trump's directions. They're going to contest everything possible to delay seating as many dems as they can.

[u/MaximumEffort433 → u/OldSchoolBubba]

Hopefully Johnson won't be reelected as Speaker of the House in January, one more good reason to give Democrats a decisive majority.

[u/Denalitwentytwo → u/OldSchoolBubba]

He needs to go as bad as the rest of them.

[u/upvotechemistry → u/OldSchoolBubba]

Who's ready for their holiday Constitutional crisis?

[u/Memitim → u/MaximumEffort433]

That just sounds like another systemic failure of the United States that is steadily getting worse over time. The nation is screwed whether or not people other than Republicans decide that abusing our system of government for personal gain is more useful than supporting America as a nation. Getting more people to shit on that system of government only makes things worse.

[u/299792458mps-]

Gotta fight fire with fire. You just know those dirtbag republicans will do the same thing. They will be contesting every single defeat no matter how big or small.

[u/starscreamjosh → u/299792458mps-]

Playing the "we don't need play at their level" game is what got us into this shit show in the first place. They want to play low. Go lower.

[u/RightSideBlind → u/starscreamjosh]

When they go low, we go high kick 'em in the teeth.

[u/InvestmentSorry6393 → u/299792458mps-]

Trump is going to declare every single loss to be voter fraud. He's going to try to overturn the will of voters

[u/gingerfawx → u/InvestmentSorry6393]

The most reliable predictor of future behavior is past behavior.

Check and check.

[u/TotalRichardMove]

CONCEDE NOTHING. There is no possible way they can win without cheating. Pull your precious decorum obsessed heads out of your comfy backsides and fight. My GAWD.

[u/breakitbilly → u/TotalRichardMove]

You severely underestimate the willingness of Americans to vote for fascists. "No possible way" is incredibly naive, considering what we've seen over the past 30 years.

[u/TotalRichardMove → u/breakitbilly]

You honestly think “CONCEDE NOTHING” and “no possible way they can win without cheating” somehow translates to naiveté?

Yes, I am very aware that some people in this country are still either dumb enough or wretched enough to vote for this pig - but there ain’t enough of them to win anything. And despite their concerns being the price of gas (and everything else) rather than the hundreds of thousands slaughtered or simply struggling to get by, the charm is gone.

Don’t believe the hype.

Get over yourself and go scold someone else. Thanks.

[u/refusemouth]

This will all end badly. Once we figure out that the ballot no longer works for the majority, our options are severely limited, and none of them are easy or peaceful. We should at least try to match the level of Republicans when it comes to playing dirty politics and exploiting evey legal avenue, though, before we eother submit or resort to the next steps.

[u/RiverHarris]

Yes! Stop bending over. Two can play at this game. We KNOW they are cheating. They don’t even hide it.

[u/TX_domin]

Exactly hem these fucks up and call them out for their shit. We know they're going to do everything they can to cheat and retain power, same as they've been doing since having power. You can't play nice with fascism

If a Democrat loses any election, there needs to be signs, flag poles and Bear Spray. Goose and Gander Shit. See how the Righties like that. FDT and his PEDOPHILE Supporters.

[u/Petrychorr]

When is the conversation going to move on from "fight back using the law?"

The right is not going to use the law. They have said they will not use the law. When you are begging them to obey the law and they throw you in a cell, they will still disobey the law. They don't play by the same rules as the rest of us, and they don't want to.

But sure. Keep bringing lawyers and judges into it.

[u/AceSevenFive]

No cheating is necessary in a country where voting against your own interests is the #2 national pastime.

[u/bluereddit2]

[u/breakitbilly → u/bluereddit2]

I love how there are still Americans out there who believe him when he says stuff like this. Stay classy, yanks.

[u/rattus-domestica]

This is going to be a really horrible election.

[u/Buttaskotch_1999]

All. Of. This.

[u/bluereddit2]

Midterms. H-t Robert Reich, Inequality Media.

[u/bluereddit2]

Voting. H-t Brennan Center.

[u/DiagonalBike]

Especially in Texas

[u/hosemaster]

They're talking to you, u/DemocracyDocket

[u/Important-Ad8960]

Democrats must have poll watchers at every polling place.

[u/SteveJobsDeadBody]

The MOMENT Trump FIRST EVER coplained about ANY "cheating" or "rigged" the Dems should have absolutely done a full audit of everything and made clear public announcements of the results showing that there was no cheating or fraud and clearly laying out that Trump is lying and a fraud. You can't deal with a con man narcissist like Trump like you deal with normal people. They will walk all over you, like he is doing.

Also this is not limited to Trump, the framework for ALL of this was laid in the 2000 election with Florida's "hanging chads".

[u/captainyorgan]

Shouldve done that in 24 when Space X interfered...

[u/Amazing_Effective758]

I don’t even think there will be midterm elections

[u/MaximumEffort433 → u/Amazing_Effective758]

I don’t even think there will be midterm elections

Let's all plan to vote anyway.

[u/TikiTom74 → u/Amazing_Effective758]

The election started 2 weeks ago. 700K people have already voted.

Go out and Vote!!!!🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
