Making yourself even more irrelevent has zero chance of success. Retaining at least some activity, especially on the local level where you can still have an effect, is better than zero.

The problem with people today is that they’re only interested in politics on the national level, where the topics are more exciting, when politics on the local level (where the issues, like schools and parks and roads are boring) is what really decides things. The Democrats this time won because they aimed at changing things to their favor below the radar, usurped the legislatures in key states, places we should have been guarding.

The ‘massive’ fraud you witnessed was miniscule compared to what Elias pulled off in court changing election rules.

So you want BidenHarris to get unlimited years rather than just 2. Yeah, that’ll teach ‘em.

I agree with following comment from this article (which is what actually happened and not the so-called fraud as suggested by way too many on this and other sites):

Democrats “leap-frogged Republicans’ process, strategy, technology and tactics, and that is to the credit of folks on the Democratic side,” Price told Just the News. “They have perfected harvesting, I believe it is harvesting, of absentee ballots, and I think the numbers will show in these runoff races, the same as they did in November, that Republicans who lost by close margins won the vote on Election Day, won on early voting in person and lost heavily in absentee ballots.”

There are not more Dems than Pubs- Dems only number about 36%. What there are is a large body of apathetic people who don’t spend any time thinking about complex issues, who can be nudged one way or another, but only the Dems try to push them, so only the Dems get results.

DC pols, whether R, D or I, want their comfortable business-as-usual cooperative back. It’s them first and home-grown Americans and what’s proper for good governance last.

The GOP is dead if they impeach Trump. They think people will come running back to stop Bite and the Ho from destroying the country. “F” them. Look at the massive omnibus bills during the Trump era. Trump signed them to get money for the wall, but tell me the difference fiscally between the two parties! On social issues, Freedom of Religion, 2nd Amendment and Abortion are our major conservative social issues. Beyond that the RATS and RINOS are in bed and playing us like the fools we are.
