You don’t seem to understand what I’m saying. The CONCEPT of recall elections was invented and put into place by progressives, that is historical FACT my friend. I’m not saying that we can’t use their invention against them. You dig?

“The CONCEPT of recall elections was invented and put into place by progressives...”

Where do you get this sh*t from? Recall elections go back to Aristotle and the Constitution of Athens.

More for you:

Recall first appeared in Colonial America in the laws of the General Court of the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1631.[3] This version of the recall involved one elected body removing another official. During the American Revolution the Articles of Confederation stipulated that state legislatures might recall delegates from the continental congress.
