(15,435 posts)people are talking to me about this. There is some Real HIGH LEVEL OUTRAGE that I'm sure will be building to enormous numbers as time goes by.
We call this country A Democracy?? I've been calling it an Oligarchy for some time now, but beginning to think it's something worse! I'm going to go to youtube and "like" it and will be sharing this information where I can.
I've been suspicious for some time and have on NUMEROUS occasions posted my own thoughts about how WEIRD what I see on the ground happening that simply doesn't reflect the outcome after people actually vote.
Once again I'm going to state my feelings. My posting here has dropped because when issues like this happen so many Bernie supporters have been called various names IF you even have any issues about Primary outcomes. And I expect after this post the COMMENTS will be the same. Still, I'm going to say again what I've become more and more convinced of. It doesn't matter to me WHAT any Hillary supporter wants to reply to me because my feeling is something that's out there and growing.
It simply makes NO SENSE that Bernie has RALLIES that thousands and thousands of people attend, he's consistently raises MILLIONS of dollars over and over and over and yet SOMEHOW this phenomena doesn't convert to votes! Why would people attend these rallies, GIVE MONEY and NOT VOTE?? I've heard ALL the retorts from Hillary supporters which are repeated all the time, but I'm not buying it. Sure some may not have the correct information, but the same pattern is showing up everywhere where people are having voting issues.
I can give you an example of something that happened here in Florida, a state that I actually felt Bernie would lose, but this still happened here.
My daughter and her husband were Independents and DID switch to Democrats to vote in the Primary and did so IN PERSON at our SOS which is mandatory! My son and his wife registered as Democrats quite a few years ago. ALL of us voted ABSENTEE. So, when you vote ABSENTEE you are supposed to get a notice that they received your ballot and I DID get one for my husband and me. You HAVE to give your email address AND you can go online to see if they received your ballot. YOU can't actually verify IF the vote was counted though.
So, I talked with my daughter and asked her if they got a notice about their ballots being received. THEY DID NOT! She checked online to see IF her ballot was received AND it WAS NOT! I didn't even bother to ask my son & his wife because there seems to be NO recourse for them. UNLESS a law suit is filed which will probably take a very long time and lots of money, and by the time it goes through the courts it really won't matter.
If you're just a "citizen" who doesn't have enough $$$$ to follow through all you're left with is the feeling of DESPAIR! So yes, THIS is Florida but NOW I'm seeing this stuff reported over and over again in other states. VOTER SUPPRESSION is ALIVE and on STEROIDS. I don't think it's only for Democrats, but who the hell knows??
WHAT has happened to this country when far too many people don't give a rat's ass about this as long as THEIR candidate wins? Every Single Citizen in this Country" should be outraged, because maybe the NEXT TIME it's going to be YOUR candidate who will "supposedly" lose!!
It now seems it's ALL UP TO THE POWER BROKERS who are playing "we the people" as mere puppets who have control. The time has come for people to rise up against this. It's only going to get worse.
Other countries are LAUGHING at us!!! I know this because many of my FB friends are from many different countries. Perhaps IF Trump gets elected the people with the blinders on will start to PAY ATTENTION! And if you think it can't happen that's even a bigger problem for you AND US!
