Election Reform Is the Only Issue That Matters
As a followup to more than one of @drbastiat‘s fine posts, and the discussion of the impeachment of the Texas Attorney General, this latest article from Jay Valentine at American Thinker should be read.
He’s got the numbers. His group has documented techniques for controlling elections all over the country. Voter rolls that get thousands of additions, who vote and then are deleted. Printer settings changed so that they print votes that won’t scan. Ballot harvesting is just the tip of the iceberg.
The last presidential election isn’t the one to discuss; last year is the one where they rolled out most of these scams, which is why we got a red trickle instead of a wave. All the polls, all the conventional wisdom said the red wave was coming. Didn’t happen. Elections were blatantly rigged with no consequences. As in Arizona. They have been planning this for years, and most of it is in place and working.
Biden’s unpopularity doesn’t matter. Harris’ poll numbers don’t matter. The Administration’s destruction of the economy won’t make them lose the election. The outrageous overreach of the Executive Branch won’t turn them out of office. Whether Trump or DeSantis gets the nomination doesn’t matter. The way things are now, no Republican can win the Presidency, and Republicans cannot take back the Senate. Now that the Democrat left has seen what we can do with a tiny majority in the House, we’ll lose that too. Unless we can overcome the systematic, well-planned, well-funded conspiracy to control our elections, we’re done as a free country.

Without getting into election shenanigans, the larger problem is that even creating a great new party won’t fix things if too many people aren’t smart enough to support it.
For example:
That will take too long. By then they will accomplish what they tried to do as soon as Biden was elected: write into law all the “temporary” COVID variations to elections.
The problem with going for a new party is that it takes time to get established.
Then after all the work that goes into that process starts succeeding in terms of becoming a political force, that party gets co opted.
Lather Rinse Repeat.
Every day that goes by where we don’t create the opposition party means it will take one day longer.
No matter how long it takes, the project must begin.
It only took six years from the formation of the Republicans to the election of Lincoln, while the Whigs disappeared in 3 years. Of course, the parties didn’t have 150+ years of writing the election laws to ensure that only they can compete. Ross Perot’s Reform Party was likely the most successful minor party as it did win a Governor’s race. Alas by 2000 it had collapsed with Donald Trump briefly joining the party, but famously declaring on his exit:
Maybe we should start a party call “Free Stuff!!”, but the free stuff will actually speech, religion, guns, privacy,…
Not bad. Can we rename the Bill of Rights to “The List of Stuff Too Basic to Vote On?”
Or the “List of Stuff You Can’t Vote Away”.
add “No matter how stupid you get.”

Sad to realize how the naive Donald Trump of 2000 totally believed the Uni-Party’s branding of Buchannan as a White Supremacist.
If he had been more aware of the media serving as Slanderous Lies R Us, he might not have been caught off guard when Uni-Party turned on him.
Buchannan is truly a weird duck and he might not quite be a white supremacist, but there aren’t many words around to describe exactly how he is awful.
