A very encouraging poll. [View all]

First a little background....

This is a poll conducted on a deep south college football fan site. Deep, deep south, in fact. I used to be a regular poster there until the very right wing board owner decided he would allow his right wing subscribers to run rough shod over any Democrat or progressive. Thus it has become about 95% trumpian. And when I told them to fuck off with their nonsense I was banned.

Anyway... here's the poll question:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Poll: If Trump loses do you plan on voting again? Posted on 11/13/20 at 12:19 pm

If Trump is forced out, unfortunately looking that way more and more every day. Most of us think its only a matter of time before shite hits the fan with all the policies that the Democrats have been discussing. Most of us believe that fraud occurred and if Trump loses this appeal, it will never come to light.

Do you plan on voting again if the system is so corrupt that it doesn't matter?

Upvote if Yes, Downvote if No"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Right now the Upvotes trail the Downvotes 86 to 90.

Now, I consider this big news. Theirs is a STAUNCHLY pro-trump, belligerent, obnoxious board. Delusional almost beyond belief. Fraud! Rigged! Stolen election! Hillary's emails! Benghazi! Benghazi! Impeachment hoax! Hunter's laptop! Blah blah blah blah blah.

Why am I especially encouraged? I know these people. Now, they might be lying... which would be typical, I guess.... but just to admit in front of their peers that they will not be voting in future elections is pretty telling. And if THESE folks are discouraged from voting right now I'm guessing that a few folks in Georgia, after their audit/recount proves no shenanigans, will opt out of voting in the two Senate races.

A comment from one of the respondents:

"If the Dems are allowed to steal this election in the dead of the night after stopping the count and trucking in ballots, then no. There will never be a free and fair election in the country again. whats the point"

To which I say BRAVO! You stay home, sore loser.
