23. Trust Me: The Repukes Stole Ohio and the Election in 2004 ...
Sun Jun 24, 2018, 07:22 PM
Jun 2018

.. via polling shenanigans: Long poll lines (up to 8 hours) in Dem districts, electronic poll machine manipulations, and offsite election counting by "private" companies. These cretins have zero shame, unlimited funds, and now Russian partners and social media. It will take a lot of grit by us to overcome all this in coming elections! And we can't be divided by internal squabbles, like Susan Sarandon, Jill Stein, and Nina Turner. We need all hands on deck for the greater good, not pity parties and pseudo purists, or the Trumpsters will prevail. UNITE!!

And 2016 only emboldened them. sandensea Jun 2018 #1
