"Yes, I know. But I just didn't like Hillary"

57. Thanks for your very thoughtful response.

You ask:

I don't assume a collection of voters who are assumed to be "enemies of the state" will be listened to.
Why should I continue to believe the FBI would listen to these complaints?
Why should I continue to believe the DOJ would bring them to trial?
Why should I continue to believe a GOP controlled congress would do anything to protect systems that could remove them from power?"

And they're all good questions. First, even the GOP can't afford to pretend that we're all "enemies of the state." They have to maintain the pretense of a republic if not a democracy for their own base, so they cannot recommend cancelling elections without backlash from their base, not to mention ours.

As for the FBI and DOJ, I will persist in believing that these organizations can be made to function adequately in a sufficiently serious national crisis, which this would be. The alternative to trusting our own governmental departments is to give up early the pretense that America can fix its own problems. I don't see that as a good strategy. I would rather proceed on the assumption that a definite number of Americans can be shown to have broken existing laws for the purpose of stealing elections. They can be punished, and a new law passed which would protect all general elections. The learning curve during these procedures will be enormous, but enormously rewarding.

And as for a GOP controlled congress, I don't think the fixers can steal every election--they still have to maintain some semblance of real elections. It behooves us Dems, of course, to use the power we would acquire with a Democratic controlled congress to actually do something about this, rather than kicking the can down the road.

If we could rouse the media to talk about this issue as though it really existed, that would be a great help. They will have to be dragged, kicking and screaming, into this story. But they spend a great deal of time congratulating themselves on their vocation to "speak truth to power." Let the media put their jobs and egos where their mouths are.
