A lot of what needs to be done is making sure that the Harris win is large enough that you can’t easily claim that a handful of ballots should be tossed and change the outcome. That means:
- Check your voter registration — part of the Republican strategy has long been invalidating registrations so people can’t vote
- Volunteer — nothing in the world quite like talking to people.
- Donate — money is used for everything from ads to voter turnout operations
- Organize; be prepared to turn out with others in your community to actively object to any effort to ignore your votes
Eh, there’s one additional way we can stop them. A landslide victory that puts her massively over the electoral college threshold would make a handful of compromised counties completely irrelevant.
I mean they already admitted it out loud. The smart thing to do now is to prep their countersuits. What we really need are federal voting laws, but good luck with that. “The States shall decide” is one of the dumbest things in the Constitution. They need stronger federal laws to protect and cover elections for federal office, if nothing else.
This could be what leads to abolishing the electoral college
Okay, now hear me out. What if we treat them like traitors?
America has rarely treated its traitors like traitors. That’s how we got in this whole mess.
It’s never too late to start!
Promise?
There’s a point at which you can’t start. But any moment before that and it’s still not too late to fuck up a traitor or two. For funsies, even!
Send them to Saudi Arabia since they seem to love their rule of law.
I may not want their coup, but they have the same rights as any other citizen, including a speedy and public trial, and not being subject to cruel and unusual punishments.
Tolerance goes both ways
Edit: for those downvoting. I’m saying fuck being nice to seditionist terrorists
Not really, check out the Intolerance Paradox. It is damaging to society to tolerate the intolerant.
So, tolerance should really only go one way: Towards the disadvantaged and needy.
All the billionaire fuccbois ruining our government deserve zero tolerance for their immoral and illegal ways.
Bring back hanging as an execution method for sedition.
Over noticed that peiple dont really fear the social consequences of their actions, especially sinve scammers and con men keep getting chamce after chance to steal money. Cant help but feel that coincided with the decline of a good ol’ tar and feathering.
It’s basically a cheat code for society. So much of our functioning civilization is built on honor code that just noclipping straight through has shown that there’s no backstop and you can just about literally get away with murder.
Well, it’s a cheat code for the rich. There are only consequences for your actions if you’re a poor
Oh there are consequences for the rich, just that some cultures (like us) are so complacent with bread and circuses that we haven’t yet felt the collective urge to pick up rocks and bash in the heads of the callous owner class.
History shows what happens when the rich live consequence free for too long.
Cant help but feel that coincided with the decline of a good ol’ tar and feathering.
I legit think that’s part of it but more in a broad sense that we’ve lost nearly all sense of a local community. People act differently when they legit don’t care about the opinions of others around them.
That didn’t used to be the case back when everyone knew everyone else in the local community because ratbags would get cut off from doing business and retaining services and everyone would publicly shun them which is a significantly more powerful tool for social shaping than people realize.
We need to bring back the sense of local responsibility that being a part of a community used to involve. I have no idea how to do this.
If this comes to pass it is only karma, chicken of America’s bloody past coming home to roost. You reap what you sow even if it is done on foreign soil.
I suppose then you would enjoy the resurgence in foreign blood when Trump ascends the throne and begins launching nukes into Gaza and the West Bank?
This is the same excuse given when big corporations fail due to their own bad decisions. What is happening in US are its foreign policies getting implemented on its own soil. You shouldnt have made such decisions if you didnt want its consequences.
If Israel wants to nuke Gaza and West Bank it will, it won’t matter who is at White House.
In that case I will look forward to seeing the look on your face when I inevitably put on my jackboots and am ordered to train weapons in your general direction when your turn comes under that administration. Hooyah, and no hard feelings, just following orders.
And like all the wars since WW2 US will lose this one too.
Too bad that won’t give you any comfort with all the unexploded ordnance in your playgrounds, white phosphorus burns, Agent Orange in your soil, PFAS and mercury in your water supplies, and destroyed infrastructure after we deliver some Freedom.
That will happen no matter who is in the power. Just like in Pakistan, millitary wants power. Its a wonder coup didn’t happen earlier.
