If the people behind these suggestions were really just trying to head fake conservatives into wasting their resources, diverting their attentions and setting themselves up for repeated failure this type of article is exactly what you would push.

Focusing on future fake drag and drop elections totally controlled by commies is a sure way to end up in a hard core totalitarian state. WE ARE NOT GOING TO WIN RIGGED ELECTIONS, PERIOD!
In my opinion we should focus ALL of our time, money and resources at the individual state level. Forget DC, it's gone. Take back our states where we live. Nullify the power of the federal government to the point of nearly becoming a separate nation.
Yes, local involvement is the first step. Lots of talkers but the ones who join and become active in local politics can control the direction. So few people are willing to do the foundational work..compared to those who can throw stones and never truly help.
