More than 30,000 demonstrate against election fraud ... but not here ...
are democrats prepared to take this battle over election fraud to the streets? I'll believe it when i see it ... while many on DU may "live their politics", I think most Americans lack passion ... we've become lazy ... we've become complacent ... democracy is somebody else's business ... when the masses sit at home and watch "the democracy show" as if it's just another one of those reality TV shows, there is no democracy ...

Massive voter fraud is being alleged in the Ukrainian elections ... look at how people there have reacted compared to this country ...
