I think the mid-terms will be the moment that becomes clear to everyone here.

    I won’t be surprised if they fumble the bag again listening to lies and cruelty.

    There's no need for electoral fraud. For the past half century the turnout at the polls for mid-term elections has been around 40%EV. (For presidential elections it's around 60%EV.) All they have to do to win over the astonishing sloth and apathy of the American voter base is rally an extra 2-3% to go to the polls. And they have the built-in tools to do that given that what passes for the "left" in the USA is determined to stay the course on their "Operation: Foot Bullet" plan.

    Imagine how difficult an 80 or 85% turnout would have been to defraud or steal an election from.

    Can’t tell them this though, ‘you don’t understand’ is the answer you get. Then a litany of ‘reasons’

    The saddest part to me is that people think these midterms will do anything.

    The American voting public is still filled to the brim with sloth and apathy. The American political system still only offers two faces of fascism: the ugly face and the kind-seeming one. The American cultural rot is still proceeding apace with no reduction in sight until the nation disintegrates.
