Your Vote Won’t Count

Original Article

Posted By: Imright, 10/13/2021 1:22:46 AM

We’re coming up on another election of national importance—the Virginia governor’s race is November 2. My friends are hopefully suggesting on social media that this will be the election that turns things around, where the full anger of the common folk at being bossed around by autocratic overlords finally manifests itself and we throw the bums out.Mind you, they were saying the same thing with the same hope about the California recall election. And I said at the time, weeks before the vote was tallied, there was no point in hoping that patriotic anger would outbalance the massive machinery at work behind the scenes: Your votes didn’t matter

Sounds to me like Dan Gelernter wants us to stay home so they don't have to work to steal an election. I/m not too sure which side he is on. Vote. Then if the election is stolen again, that proves it is time to move on. Don't vote and let them win, and you have no standing to go to the next step, whatever that may be.

I believe the author is a realist. Everything he said is the truth. However, nothing will keep me from the polls because sitting at home is giving up and I just refuse to do that. He is right, we have been betrayed by our own party and for the exact reasons he laid out. Furthermore, I do not believe he is urging us not to vote. He is merely stating the truth about our present situation. Of course, we should all get out and vote but with the understanding that we are facing a monumental force driven by a political class consisting of both parties who hate us but cannot eliminate us, yet. The system that they have created is for the sole purpose of nullifying our vote. Once they attain their desired level of power which is rapidly approaching, they will begin to marginalize us in earnest. Did you ever believe we would ever see medical mandates in this country? Now they come under threat of loss of employment. Doctors, nurses, health care workers, pilots, law enforcement and the military are in their crosshairs. They are purging the critical thinkers from the workplace. This two headed cabal is actively destroying the economy because it is the most efficient way to bring us to our knees and into submission. Never believe them when they say these unconstitutional mandates are put into place for the good of our health. They are put into to place to force us to submit. Now that we know the truth, it is our patriotic duty to get out the vote and make it as hard as possible for them to steal what they know they cannot win. Maybe our numbers will prevail. Only God knows, but now is not the time to go wobbly. The political class has declared war against us and we must show them we will not quit. We will vote and in massive numbers.

Don't kid yourself, he is absolutely correct. I am a Trump -conservative and I am telling you to come to reality. If our elections laws are not fixed and enforced to the fullest, it doesn't matter if we had 200 million votes-they will have 300 million. They can print more paper ballets that we can get voters. I'm NOT saying don't vote. The more votes we get, the harder it will be for them to pull it off. Yes, absolutely take an hour of your time to to vote but what is really necessary right now to the put these election cheats in jail and it's not happening.

Ben Franklin: "He who lives on hope will die fasting". The article is correct. Our problem is the Republicans. The Republican Party has been fully infiltrated by Democrats, and half the party is really a Democrat. The government has abandoned the constitution, by agreement between both the Democrats and the Republicans that do not want to bother with the desires of the people. The government has immunized themselves from accountability to the people by transferring law making to the administrative state, and making the administrative state unfireable. The laws are all written by special interests without any regard to the public interest. Congress no longer debates, or passes them through committee. Everything is passed in omnibus just before midnight on the expiration date of another debt ceiling. The people have zero say in the election process. They do not choose the candidates. The electoral process is controlled by politicians. They do not allow any independent party to be involved, nor do they allow any audits or review. Recounts are nothing but adding up the fraudulent ballots a second time. Now, Zuckerbucks provides 10X the past funding by government officials, effectively taking over the elections.

(a) How is a Constitutional Convention going to be staffed up cleanly if as his guy says every election is a cheat? . (b) Telling people their votes won't count is a notorious approach to vote suppression. (c) The top Republicans are not as bad as he says they are. This is also vote suppression, saying there is nobody out there worth voting for. (d) 2020 was very dirty, but a lot of good people won. Those wins are what is holding us head above water today - as Nancy can't pass her bills. (e) On the whole, this guy reminds me of David Brooks, who wanted to be a socially acceptable conservative and his approach was always denounce the battle in front of us, always promote strategic retreat from whatever, always supposedly in the name of a deeper truer set of values. Same here but worse.

Vote in every election and demand your state legislature conduct audits and pass laws to strengthen protections against election fraud. Demand that electronic voting systems be disconnected from the internet and that both the hardware and the software be open to audit. The integrity of elections is too important to trust any supplier, both the hardware and the software of election voting systems must be open to independent review. Prohibit private money paying election workers. Prosecute any people complicit in election fraud. Publicize all instances of election fraud.

Not every election is a cheat but some locations in this country have been cheating for democrats every time the polls open and have been for decades. The people know it but nothing is ever done. The usual culprits, besides crooked democrat politicians are labor unions, teachers unions and other local criminal elements. New York, Philadelphia, Columbus, Detroit, Chicago, most of New Jersey, California. Until we clean it all up, we will continue to get stuck with the morons who run these cities and their choice of substandard people in Washington. Also, don't forget the China influence that helped turn the tide with Dominion. We don't call our current cabbage heads China Joe and China Mitch because they like egg rolls.

There are volunteers from all over the country at work in VA to support Youngkin and others on the Republican ballot. No one needs this fatalistic view. No one is counting on hope alone. They're putting their shoulder to the wheel to get voters to the polls. I'm sick of blowhards like this. The Dems certainly will not pass up the chance to cheat and have already been blocked from removing witness signatures from absentee ballots. VOTE Virginians and take your neighbor, brother, sister, grandma etc with you when you Gordon's! Don't skip going to the polls because of the mentality demonstrated in this article.

Nothing new here. Just move on. Since the days of Tammany Hall cheating has been a way of life. How do you think Lyndon Johnson got elected? He cheated. How do you think JFK got elected? His dad bought West Virginia and Illinois for him. Cheating is a way of life. Want to win? Stuff the ballot box. It is not who votes that counts, it is who counts the votes. And you cannot influence the counting of ballots. That is done by Democratic operatives, under the control of the Deep State. And they won't let you take part. Go ahead and vote. it won't matter.

I lived in Virginia for 24 years and watched it go from deep red to deep blue with the influx of DC bureaucrats and aliens, both legal and illegal. I’ve posted this on other threads but will do it again here - watch Fairfax County on election night. It is always the last to post its totals because that is where the fraudulent votes are stored and then unpacked as needed to drag the demonrat over the finish line. I saw it happen several times. Don’t believe me? Just ask Ken Cuccinelli.

The National School Boards Association, the group that urged the Biden administration to investigate parents who speak out for the rights of their children as potential domestic terrorists, has political ties to the democratic party and labor unions. What a surprise! While most funding for the group comes from state school boards, the National Education Association, which is the largest teachers union and a major donor to democrat candidates, donated the last two years. As reported by the Daily Signal, the union contributed $68,000 in 2020 and $50,000 in 2019. Leaders of the National School Boards Association have also worked for and contributed directly to democrat politicians.

This is what Dr. Robert Malone, inventor of the mRNA technology warned about. The spike proteins are not staying at the injection site and they are dangerous. Protein in the blood can be very dangerous. A Canadian cancer vaccine researcher said last week, “We made a big mistake.

Millions of retirees will see a significant boost to their Social Security checks as the Biden administration gave its cost of living adjustment (COLA) the most significant boost in nearly 40 years. Social Security checks will raise 5.9%, about $92 for the average retired worker, in a shocking display of inflation. For the last 10 years, an inflation lull has led to checks that rise only 1.65% per year on average.The Social Security Administration has not raised benefits so drastically year-over-year since 1982. A typical retired worker will now receive $1,657 a month starting next year while a typical couple's benefits will rise $157 to $2,753 per month.
