Can You See It Coming?
What A JOKE Of A Country We ARE!!!

I know this won't be a popular post....I'll probably get a lot of people saying, "if you don't like it, then leave."

But seriously, don't you think other countries will look at us and our election process, and think our so-called "democracy" is a JOKE!?

Face it, the prospect exists for this country to slide further into the abyss, while those GREEDY, ELECTION STEALING, FACIST, DICTATORIAL BASTARDS sit by and watch!

If the Dems get this election STOLEN from them again, then I'm seriously done here. I will look towards options of where to go within the next couple of years. I was in Europe last summer, and met 2 people who had already left in 2000 and 2004, after the elections, and I can do it too.

If the Dems get FUCKED again, then this is NOT A DEMOCRACY, and it WON'T be a democracy, even with the help of the Democrats, who have no chance if the game is RIGGED and FRAUDULENT.

4. There are other democracies on this planet who hold fixed/stolen elections.
The difference is that in those countries the people take to the streets and unleash holy hell over it. In
this country we pop open a beer, open a monster bag of chips and settle in for a night of American Idol.

That's what happens when citizens devolve into consumers.

6. I'll tell you what then, and I agree with you on most of what you
said, BEFORE you give up on America, I want to see your ass in the streets fighting to take it back!!! If that doesn't work, then I'll throw in with you on a rowboat out of here.

8. one problem with leaving: US is big dog that shits in other yards
What you gain in safety, you lose in any chance of changing things here.


And Pakistanis already used up our immigration quota to Canada for the next 20 years (I would have split if I was them too).

11. If it gets stolen again don't you think people will take it to the streets?
It will be massive civil unrest.

12. We don't see you guys as a joke, at least those of us with some savvy don't
Oh no, we realise the unholy alliance of corporate interests and loopy political ideology that has screwed up the good ole US of A is fighting for its collective life. If the Dems take both Houses these creeps have nowhere to go except from a court room to a prison cell because what they have done is so egregious. All their trickery is just THEIR reaction to THEIR desperation, not a symptom of general incompetence on the part of the American people as a whole.

This is make or break - it is difficult to overstate how much is at stake today. But you know that and so do we.
