When the GOP watches Democrats suppress the vote and marginalize the people, they know who their real friends are. It's good cop and bad cop, back and forth, in American politics, and at the end of the day, the good cop and bad cop live in the same neighborhood, they work together, their kids go to school together. Get it?
"The populace will not be allowed to know how its convictions were generated. When the technique has been perfected, every government that has been in charge of education for a generation will be able to control its subjects securely without the need of armies or policemen. As yet there is only one country which has succeeded in creating this politician's paradise"
~Bertrand Russel
Regarding recent primaries, there were significant discrepancies between many polling figures and the final vote counts in several states. If one just considers that in Texas and California alone, had the vote count reflected the exit polls, Biden's charge would have been seen as challenged, such is the difference in delegates assigned. These are discrepancies that both the UN and the Organization of American States recognize as sizeable enough to warrant suspicion.
You and I both know that many voters are going with who they perceive as a winner, especially late in the season. This kind of thing is how the 2016 primaries went down. Significant irregularities were brushed under the rug and the media led the charge, in unison and on message, that the momentum had shifted. The same thing happened with Biden. Many expected him to take most of those southern states that he took at the beginning of this "charge" but that's not how it sounded all across the airwaves that day and the next. Nope, this was a comeback, as if Bernie had been on his way to winning fifty states.
It's all about how fast and hard you can sell a narrative because, once sold, they often take on a life of their own.
Roughly a week ago, somebody compiled the numbers, comparing CNN polls and others in determining just how far off the vote counts were from the exit polls and the difference was alarming to many, exceeding the margin of error expected in transparent election processes by many.
All it takes is fraud in a handful of strategic moments, in strategic states, and the rest can be totally legitimate. It only takes one day, as long as everyone connected to major media outlets stays on message, to shift the momentum of a campaign and one day of staying on message is a lot easier than maintaining such an effort over weeks, which is why this was going to have to happen on a day like Super Tuesday, especially with more and more people watching the process closely than ever before.
New tricks are forthcoming in future elections, rest assured.
Then there's the crap in this meme. This stinks. Have you noticed that we no longer talk about intervening in other countries to spread democracy? It's because it's a losing argument in a country without its own free elections. We have conceded that we don't have the high ground in this matter any longer; even making such a claim opens up a dialogue that is not convenient to these oligarchs. Instead we talk about national interest, because if we don't invade this country or that, we won't have squat due to the fact that manufacturing is disappearing from this country!!
If you don't make your own stuff and you want to have stuff, you have to take it because if you don't make our own stuff, you don't even have anything to trade for the stuff that others made. Enter banking and currency to obscure that it's simply theft. Anybody that insists on having a lot and not making much is going to have to have to use force. This is the simple truth that we all fail to grasp.
A vote for anybody but Bernie is a vote for empire and climate destruction.
