Elections are a thing of the past. |
|
Tonight demonstrated that clearly. The corporate machine will install a 'president' for us. Our role is to simply play along.
BushCo got rid of election-day entrance and exit polling, only to have these same services contracted out to private orgs (read: GOP Loyalists). Bush has done sooo much harm to the world where does one begin?

10. I guess I'm talking about the media more than the election |
|
I just don't believe a word of it. Election polling has been decidedly accurate forever, until the Bush years. Suddenly EVERY race is a nail-biter, with dramatic shifts in tallies at the eleventh hour.

13. Pay little attention to the incessant polling. As always, the only poll that counts is the vote. |

Do you have proof or is this just more sour grapes over Hillary's win?

9. Basically other posts are whining about Hillary winning... |
|
and blaming the machines because they can't accept the fact that PEOPLE voted for her over their candidate of choice.

5. We can't let them see us sweat... |
|
Iowa, New Hampshire, and probably South Carolina are all Conservative states. Liberals have little chance of winning with that and the media blitz.
Republicans voted in Democratic races is all I can see right now as to the winners. They want the top two to win so they can beat them. They know that don't a chance otherwise.
