H.R. 1: For the People Act of 2021

No, not interested in what Douglas is selling.

If it isn’t banned on Facebook then it must be bad.

All of Soros’s corruption groups purport to be anti-corruption.

The video idea of voting and ranking choices so one votes for more than one candidate and party for a position sounds like a total mess.

1) Vote from home?.....No thanks.<<

LOL.....isn't that how we got here?

2) Independent commissions for district line drawing?<<

wasn't the “Debate commission” independent?

Douglas is trying to dress up the problems to sell us condoms...so we can have a false sense of security while were getting screwed..

“”in societies like Athens [under Pericles] or the United States, they are haunted by dread of the tyrannical [castrating oedipal] Father, [thus] the more intelligent the candidate, the more he has to waste time on smiling, joking or playing the buffoon... kissing babies, donning Indian warbonnets... otherwise he risks being defeated by a landslide....

The one thing no “civilized” country tries to do is to turn its citizens into intelligent and mature adults, because [they] are supposed to be hard to govern... for the ultimate goal of the state [should be] not to produce citizens made on the assembly lines but to teach citizens to govern themselves. Only a group of mature and intelligent adults is able to govern itself... ..

Hence the demands that the politician who solicits his vote reassure him by playing the buffoon, incarnating the good natured incompetent dolt - whose very incapacity insures he will never be the castrating oedipal father [but] a mother imago...

It is miraculous that a Pericles is willing [now and then to appear] and be willing to take the role of first magistrate in a political nursery.”

...

“[modern man] assumes an infantile stance and stubbornly takes wishes for reality, conditioned so by his environment... [he mocks the primitive] for believing magic sanctions and confirms reality [his scientists of fake science] will confirm that telepathy is supported by statistics and science...”

Yep, so, this is from a psychiatrist in the 60s... very prophetic in terms of the schizophrenic state of our country and government, with that imbecile Biden and his cotterie of jug eared smiling speaking buffoon cute serious acts of Obama or Bill Clinton.

Every “Independent Commission” on redistricting has been like Stalinazi Satanist Demonrats on steroids. California and Arizona are premier examples. Not a damn one has ever remotely given a fair shake to the GOP (indeed, in AZ, which has majority Republican voters, they willfully gave the Demonrats a majority of Congressional seats. The GOP should have a 7R-2D or 6R-3D majority, instead they’ve barely got a 5D-4R “minority”, added to the theft of the Senate race and Presidency).

Just like his old man, hardcore lib forever. Not interested in anything this Hollywierd democrat has to say. I’m sure it renders down to “quit disagreeing with us, recant and maybe we’ll forgive you”.

Oh stop freaking whining and just watch the damn video !

I did watch the video. The successes they cite are liberal causes.

They're talking about expanding voting and voting by mail which didn't help Republicans this time.

Maybe we can discuss these proposals but I get the feeling this won't help Republicans.

We should have been working to fix the system the day Trump took office.

Remember Trump was going to try? Remember Kris Kobach? Democrats forced him out and Trump never brought it up again.

If there's one thing I'm angry at Trump for it's this.

He didn't deliver on election reform and now we have Biden/Harris.

In the 00’s, Arizona voted for an “Independent Commission’ to redistrict. % people, 2 R, 2 D and 1 I. Only the I lied and Brewer bought the lie. Our Districts were created by 3 Dems. They met in secret (illegal), drew up lines to benefit themselves (illegal), voted on their map (illegal) and that map was implemented. Brewer sued to stop their map and an Obama judge threw out the lawsuit. That was the beginning of Blue Arizona.

The final nail in the coffin was the election of Fontes (sponsored by OurRevolution) as the Maricopa County Recorder, in 2016. Ballot harvesting brought us Sinema. 2020 brought us a ‘Dem’ Maricopa County. Fontes was ousted in 2020, but Kelly and Biden ‘won’ Maricopa. Really??

Part of “re-districting” is to create regions and social environments permitting unfettered and unhindered electoral Fraud.

Think parts of cities where Republicans are feared to tread. This is the beginning process of turning a Red state purple.

There are more of “us” than “them” A whole lot more

Its all kayfabe. Its what they want you to believe, its what they want you to “feel”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kayfabe

The left is LARGELY an illusion supported by media propaganda and created by fraudulent electoral processes

“honest” votes for Biden were 30-35 million. At most.

What the left has done, ever since the 1984 Reagan-Mondale blowout-(and Mondale was a “moderate” Democrat!)-is to start electoral fraud programs in the largest states to turn them from Red-to-Purple-to Blue. They realized they had no future otherwise. It started in California and New York

This last election cycle local Texans managed to turn it around at the precinct level-their Rhino Governor not withstanding

Extreme involvement in your local precincts and making sure paper balloting on ELECTION DAY, with hand counts and recounts in a transparent fashion and setting with open audit trails available to the general public, among other measures-are key.

Its dirty, tough work and initially confrontational
with the existing perps, but it beats the heck outta the
alternatives -which are bearing down like a runaway freight train

The left has focused on corrupting this process-which originates in the deep urban centers. The process is very active presently in Georgia, using Atlanta as its base, the last 2 election cycles. This process is seditious.

We the People have no future otherwise

These people INTEND to “rule”

Right off the bat front and center on their webpage a hyperlink titled did your politician challenge the election? If you scroll down and look at the people who are involved, it’s nothing but a bunch of left wing Hollywood idiots. I stopped looking and left the website when I saw Alyssa Milano is involved. Don’t fall for it.

“Independent commissions” quickly become road-kill for leftist zombies.

They inevitably start spewing out leftist propaganda...

Yeah....no. The states (swing states) broke their own election laws then changed then retroactively.

"I stopped there."

And you got it wrong, anyway. The real order is "brain dead", conservative, and independent.
