That's why Canada is looking so promising (I'll clean up after myself, Canada. I promise!).

5. Far too many already have the can't do anything about it attitude
When I ask people if they are getting involved, many come back with it will not make any difference. The republicons have drilled into the heads of so many Americans that they can't do anything to change America. They have brainwashed so many to believe that there is no difference in either party and they have just given up.

Most will just give up

10. The problem is proving they stole it............
It seems like it takes a couple years to accumulate enough evidence to prove they stole it. And by that point, alot of folks have lost the fire in their bellies and will do nothing. If the outrage is to be productive, the iron must be struck hot.

11. Why not? It happened the last two times, and this country wasn't rocked by it.
They accepted it as fact and moved on. Maybe if they lost their jobs because the election got stolen, then they'd do something about it. Until it affects them personally, they're apathetic. There are always individuals who stand up when the time requires it, but as a whole, people are apathetic.

13. No. Because Obama and Biden won't roll over and play dead.
And that will make all of the difference.

15. Only the last 2 times?
Hell, every repub president there ever was won because of stolen elections. If it wasn't for Diebold, Lincoln would never have even come close to winning (stealing) his presidency.

17. I believe so...
I love reading history and the times we are currently experiencing I liken to Ivan the terrible.

that monster set such a precedent upon Russia that it's psychological effect still remains evident today.

18. Yes.
Too many people are still too comfortable to risk rocking the boat.

If they steal this one, our country is toast.
