Rachel Maddow: What Worries Me Most About Election Night
Georgia Republicans have empowered local election officials to delay certifying the vote.
You're viewing a single thread.
Every state needs to help make Harris a clear winner.
Like GA, a battleground state, where they just made it legal for the elections board (3 Republicans and 2 Democrats) to refuse to certify the election results for absolutely no reason, indefinitely, without any burden of proof? Even if 100% of people in GA voted for Harris, they'd find some bullshit reason to refuse to certify the state's results. Kemp is too much of a fickle piece of shit to stand up against it, so we've already lost the state in November.
That's literally what the article is about, you clearly didn't read it.
I absolutely read it, I was replying to the comment that "every state needs to help make Harris a clear winner" by pointing out that the Republicans literally already made it impossible to make Harris a clear winner in GA.
But ok, tell me more about what I did and didn't read.
It doesn't matter if Georgia certifies or not if Harris clearly wins enough states to get 270.
both georgia and arizona have recently passed laws that allow their elected officials to effectively ignore the vote and most of the rest of the battleground states will have something similar too before the election; so where are those 270 votes going to come from?
she'd be guaranteed to win if would say something small and simple like: we should stop bombing defenseless palestinians.
No she wouldn't. I 100% agree we shouldn't be doing it mind you. But thats ignoring the reality of the situation and just seeing what you want to see.
Morally Israel should have been harshly rebuked decades ago, as well as today. There would be a lot of push back unfortunately. A lot of money, resources, and votes taken from any candidate that pushed back too hard. So it unfortunately becomes an either or choice. And not a simple do it and get everyone to vote for you type of situation.
The problem is ideologues and authoritarians don't understand the need for diplomacy or how it works. They simply jail and Slaughter those who disagree with them. Which in and of itself evolves to immorality. Unfortunately wherever humanity is involved you can have either power or Purity but not both.
It's sad that this one issue is all that some people see. So much more is on the line.
and all of it is less pressing than the imminent loss of life that they're experiencing where we can help by continuously applying pressure.
