I'm struggling to find the words for how much I love this post. I get on my little soapbox nearly every day in the comments sections of Reddit and Facebook and YouTube and tell the world how little faith I have in the integrity of our elections. And here we have everything I like to rant about in one convenient place 😃.
If I'm not running an exit poll on election day, I'll be protesting for election integrity again. And you can too, reader! It's not just for Trumpers! We have to demand ballot images, at the very least. When Biden beats Bernie 165 to 5, we NEED to see those receipts.
Which I why I wrote it, I get tired of people claiming "Biden got more votes" "Hillary got more votes" "Nobody likes Bernie." It's just ridiculous. There are mountains of evidence.
I have this long time activist friend, who protested alongside me after 9/11 and GW's invasion of Iraq. She is a Green Party person too. Every time I say I HATE HILLARY she condemns me. "Well, I do not hate Hillary, etc etc". Somehow she is on some Etole thing and now fears all strong emotions, as if they must be irrational. Why would this be irrational.
It it was not bad enough Hillary did all this with DNC, she also got the DNC to use their media contacts to promote Trump as the Pied Piper Populist candidate in effort to get attention off Bernie. I recall Bernie in an interview complaining about why MSM was only focusing on Trump, when it was he who was getting record crowds. Sigh. How could he not know how much he has been betrayed, how much he betrayed us, and how much his action go against the very principles he claims to believe in.
It's very sad. Hillary is definitely to blame, though we know the entire political system is sold out and the media supports the corporate agenda. Bernie never really stood a chance. If we had a functioning democracy, he would have won by double digits. The people want real economic change, they want healthcare and a living wage. Instead we get neoliberalism, no matter which party is in power.
