Here a little bit of counter-ratfuckery we can employ for the next election

It's simplistic but could be effective both in blue and red states.

Using one's buying power, contract for goods and services after November 5, 2024, and tell the merchant, "My decision to go forward depends on the outcome of the election. If the Democrats win, you get the contract and my money; if through chicanery and cheating the Bloated Ticks steal the election, you get nothing."

Since Democrats have more buying power, that'll hit the MAGAts right in the pocketbook that's shoved up their collective asses.

But if you make it personal in terms of money, which is the only thing these fucksticks care about, that may wake them up out of their fever dreams.

I'm not asking an owner to vote Democrat, I'm telling the owner whichever way it turns out will determine whether I engage their services.

Gives a little incentive to voting with democracy and decency.

Again, I'm not asking you to lay out money for material, supplies or labor, I'm just letting the power of my purse do the talking.
