Since Republicans can’t win on accomplishments or popular policies, they must cheat. But now they realizing that even their methods of cheating won’t be enough to stop Harris and the blue wave about to wash away their careers.
Yet the one time a moderate’s rhetoric could possibly save them, they must remain under the spell of #CountTrumpula for fear of the dark orange one’s wrath.
So they must stick to the toxic rhetoric and their implicit support of Project 2025, knowing full well that its implementation will unmake America’s greatness.
We will be downgraded to a #TangerineRepublic, third-worlded by Christian Nationalists, billionaires, and CEOs who have the GOP in their pockets.
These #NeroCons know that their cowardice will unleash economic meltdowns with worldwide implications.
Let’s face it. Letting the GOP get away with stealing this election is providing the shortcut to the end of human civilization.
Our climate, mass migration, and resource allocation challenges are not best met through capitalism gone wild. We need our largest corporations to be subject to humanitarian ethics rather than profit maximization.
Maybe the generation coming of age now will find a way to eliminate the disproportionate influence of corporations on policy and budget. It may be somewhere between democratic socialism and pure socialism at the top end where the most damage can be done.
Imagine if all corporations with gross income over $400 million could only act for the benefit of the most people possible, not for the enrichment of their board members and stockholders.
I call this #SocioCapitalism. This path is core to #22ndCenturyThinking that needs to be considered later this decade.
Please look for a full rundown of this option for species survival on my Substack feed this Wednesday.
I found myself purged in 2022. I found out when my wife received her bail-in ballot and I did not. So while it was too late to mail in a ballot I got registered and voted. Not really expecting to be purged again. I nevertheless checked two weeks ago and found I was once again removed. And so I duly reregistered.
Why have I been removed twice? No explanation is forthcoming. So I've made up my own reason, that after including name, birth, address, and no party affiliation, when it comes to being male, female and having a race or ethnicity, I leave it blank. Technically you are supposed to be able to not answer, as they are optional. As of late though I've noticed I am having difficulty signing up for even an online social media account who say they have to have the information for "statistical purposes."
For my purposes, I am not statistical. And I will reject the statistician. They are not really rejecting me even if they think they are; they are rejecting my rejection of their statistifying me.
The only way to have "voting rights" is to reject registration altogether and force the governmental policies that require it. Everyone must be automatically eligible to vote when they are eligible. No one should have to register and no one should not be eligible who is eligible.
Until then I'll register everyday if I have to...and I'll argue for one more constitutional amendment to be put on the ballot: No one who is eligible to vote can be denied the vote and no one who is eligible can be denied eligibility.
Amazing (including all the comments). It's a good thing you have nothing else to do with your time.
It's great that you offered the link to register/re-regoster/confirm registration, but I still say you're preaching to the choir. The people who desperately need to know this don't read Substack.
In case you hadn't seen this, it looks to be PRECISELY how the G☭P plans to steal the election - by assigning loyal election deniers as Electors in key states:
1) MAGA secretaries of state in certain states refuse to certify the (perfectly valid) voting results ... thus
2) Neither candidate can get enough votes in Electoral College, as those states’ votes are unavailable to either candidate ... so
3) The election is thrown to the CURRENT House of Representatives, one vote per state ... and since
4) There are more Red States than Blue States, so GOP “wins” ... then
5) Democrats Immediate appeal to SCOTUS ... in which case ...
Clarence and friends take 30 seconds to reach a decision that Tr*mp “won” the election ... begging the question ...
Which step will we block, and how?
The size of the landslide win by Harris will be irrelevant to their tactics.
Bro, I know you have zero time to function but you've gotta check out the substack I wrote about the dnc and the rnc. It's like 2 minute read tops. They're all insane and all get paid by the same pigs on the Forbes list.
The point is when they register to vote, they are already presenting their ID. An ID already accepted by the state government and verified by the state government. It doesn't make much sense to have yet another ID to confirm the already confirmed ID.
Another EXCELLENT article! I can’t wait until we get unified government again, maybe 2024 will be the year and we can finally pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act.
All those suppression tactics. I’m aware of all of them but when you see them all listed out together, one after the other it kind of makes me sick to my stomach and angry as hell.
It would be nice just to have an even playing field where both sides play fairly. I know that’s a pipe dream but a girl can still hope for better days ahead and maybe passing that bill, (oh and getting rid of the electoral college) she will finally feel like the country is turning a corner and will be going in a better direction
Duh!!!!! It's been the alt-right Republican game for years. We must do something about this. People aren't paying attention enough to this issue. Let's get the word out and insist Congress act! The Congress is shameful. It's all part of the real ongoing coup that started decades ago. Republicans took over, slowly while we watched, the media, the courts, the Congress, the State Legislatures. This is the result. Tump's own commission in 2016 and another in 2020 found virtually no election fraud!!! Let that sink in. So where is the main stream media? It should have been the headline every day for the last eight years!

Great and Comprehensive Summary.

Who would have thought voting was so complicated. Here in Canada we take our ID and go vote.

Hello—so if a person discovers they have been purged, what is suggested that they do first? Is it as easy as just re-registering?
Yes, please visit this website and re-register: https://www.usa.gov/register-to-vote
"Banning only certain forms of voter IDs disproportionately used by Black or minority groups"
I suggest that, when you register to vote, they provide you with an alternative state I.D.
Maybe this could be a state constitutional amendment so that those who want to suppress voting couldn't change it with a legislative vote.
(Maybe couch it with a sentence or title "voting requires an I.D.")
The point is when they register to vote, they are already presenting their ID. An ID already accepted by the state government and verified by the state government. It doesn't make much sense to have yet another ID to confirm the already confirmed ID.
Great work Qasim, as always!
Thank you Mark!
Another EXCELLENT article! I can’t wait until we get unified government again, maybe 2024 will be the year and we can finally pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act.

Thank you Beth. And yes we so critically need to pass a revival of voting rights protections. Our democracy literally depends on it.
Duh!!!!! It's been the alt-right Republican game for years. We must do something about this. People aren't paying attention enough to this issue. Let's get the word out and insist Congress act!

Yep. The GOP can only win by suppressing votes, and they know it. That isn't democracy, it's dictatorship.
