we do a John Doe into him, he abolishes John Does, we get the courts after him, he gets a new court....he destroys all records...he is the master "out in the open" dirty crook. Remember his shitty book after recall was UNINTIMIDATED....He has always been out for blood. And we have all bled.

slow the WI GOP legislature and Walker down? Walker has no moral compass and neither do any of the GOP legislators. They will do what ever they want......they own the joint.

After Trump lost the Wisconsin primary, Roger Stone claimed that Scott Walker has rigged multiple elections, including his recall vote.

since GOP led congress is doing nothing to stop Trump, and GOP governors are just as brazen in their lawlessness

Great news. The fight goes on. Tuesday, April 3 is the day to vote for Rebecca Dallet for Wisconsin Supreme Court and help keep that Walker agenda in check. See you on election day!!

during our presidential primary which was easily won by Bernie Sanders. Unfortunately some of his supporters were so excited about voting for him that 12% of them didn't even bother to vote in the state supreme court race even though the ballot was right in front of them.
Oh, the conservative nominee won.

And what's the connection between the voting patterns in the 2016 race and the Supreme Court race in Wisconsin this Tuesday?? Will you be canvassing in your home precinct to bump up turnout and win NOW?

are probably still too fucking lazy or stupid to vote in an important race when the ballot is right in front of them. There's no presidential primary to get people fired up enough even to show up and vote this Tuesday. Are people really that disengaged from what is going on that they need to be reminded to vote? When you can't be bothered to vote in an race when the ballot is right in front of you it's hard to fix that kind of lazy stupidity. Why would I ever believe there's been a big change here in just 2 years?

Post on the internet about how lazy and stupid the left is, or let go of the name calling and take personal responsibility for making a change, working with the county and party Dems and talking to neighbors about the election.

Democracy is promised to no one. Work to build it and keep it, or it won't exist.

BTW most spring elections have turnout as low as 20 percent so it's motivated voters that make a difference. Also, if 12 percent of Sanders voters didn't vote in the judge race, 88 percent did vote for the judge, right?
