Reply #47: They stole this fair and square

[The Jacobin]

Here's what I mean:
We will NEVER get any traction on the line "Bush stole the election" or "Selected not Elected."

It doesn't matter anymore. It's over. It won't be changed. So drop it. If you keep pushing this line, you will be completely marginalized in the MSM.

What needs to happen now is a push for election reforms. A rational and evenhanded approach that acknowledges that both Democrats and Republicans (and many local politicians in non-partisan elections) have rigged elections in the past. What we have now with the change in voting technology is to prevent all kinds of election fraud in the future.

And this has to happen quickly. We have to pummel state officials with arguments like "accountability" and "integrity." It will be very difficult to withstand pressure like that.

Moaning about the past will only ensure that those reasonable politicians who might do something about this will see us as conspiracy kooks and do absolutely nothing -- the worst outcome.
