Burn it down, WI

[Great Caesars Ghost]

It's war now.

1. Polite midwesterners don't burn stuff down.

We get even...

Eventually.

2. I am extremly angry... this, to me is a blatant theft of our election...

I understand your righteous outrage... we need to sleep on this and figure out how to deal with it in the morning...

9. To what do you attribute the outcome? I think money from outside WI had a lot to do with it.

The unfortunate reality of elections for several decades, or maybe much longer, is that many voters are easily influenced by simple exposure. Elections are largely bought.

I wish people would be more thoughtful. I choose candidates very carefully, I think others should too.

But I am learning to accept that other people often won't do what I believe they should do.

10. I am extremly angry... this, to me is a blatant theft of our election...

yes, and what is making me even angrier is all the 'dems' trying so hard to convince us the election was fair, as if they haven't been paying any attention to the last 12 years, as if they are not even dems.

3. Burn what down?

If you're going to encourage others to commit arson, you may as well be specific.

5. I give up.

I am tired.
I am demoralized.
I am fed up.
I am so glad I am as old as I am because the way things are going this world will be a wholly corporate-owned hell hole but I will be too old to notice, or hopefully dead.

I hope this feeling passes, but right now I just don't see any hope anywhere.

I think I will just go and hang out with my cats.

6. I feel EXACTLY the same way.

Oddly, it made me feel a tiny bit better to know I'm not alone in being completely and utterly defeated and fed up with all of this right wing shit. I'm also really, really, really angry which doesn't help because I have no where to go with it.

8. I've been hanging out with my dogs

ever since Raygun. I love them more than most people I know.
Never been to a Starbucks and I still wear my college
clothes--bluejeans and Ts. Just sayin.

7. The war is over. You missed it.

Losing is part of politics, Great Caesars Ghost.

11. election theft must not be tolerated

[slackmaster]

16. Of course it must not be tolerated.

[Meiko]

13. Agreed

and there is no evidence that anything was stolen. Just because some people think that it was doesn't make it that way, and before everyone goes off the deep end I am not saying elections haven't been stolen in the past, I am saying there is no evidence this on was. A rumor gets started and before you know it the rumor has spread to every corner of the forum and people are seeing booger men under every rock. It throws the entire forum into disarray and the freeps just kick back and laugh at us. But, if you feel you are bored, go ahead.

18. why do you assume there is no evidence?

On the one hand, election laws are written by the voting machine manfacturers and our state GAB has created laws that make it nearly impossible to verify election results. EG, It is illegal for us to inspect source code on voting machines because that code is "proprietary". It is also illegal to view paper ballots that are read by opscan machines unless there is a recount, or with a court order (often difficult to obtain).

Election experts, attys and statisticians are looking into this very carefully now. Here is one of the reports

14. Your avatar

disturbs me every time I see it. I'm not sure what I find so disturbing about it, but it just is!

[Great Caesars Ghost]

17. I'm sorry

I'm just so pissed off to the point there might be no other choice.

15. Know your enemy

It is Fox news.

There are a hundred Walkers waiting in line for every political position out there. Defeat Walker and his clone awaits to push the agenda.

Until Fox loses credibility and influence, we are playing a losing game of " whack a mole".

19. Take It To The Streets!

The struggle MUST continue and it MUST be unrelenting!

We MUST take the struggle to the streets and to the boardrooms ---

And NOT just in Wisconsin!

We MUST channel our anger in a way that brings revolutionary change!

The time is NOW!
