Democracy Raised from the Dead

Paul Revere, hero of the 1st American Revolution

Paul Revere's heroism in our first revolution was cinched by galloping on a horse to warn colonists that British soldiers were coming to shoot people.

Galloping is thrilling. But it turns out that, to be a hero in our current "political revolution," I have to look at the math of exit polls.

I Don't Like Math.

Reassuringly, it's apparent that no-one in mainstream media likes math either. For instance, to count the delegates that Clinton has compared to Bernie Sanders, they look at the amount and decide, "That doesn't look like enough, so let's throw a steaming pile of superdelegates in there too" (even though superdelegates don't vote till the convention at the end of July.)

Imagine if taxpayers did math like that: in last year's itemized deductions, you throw numbers at the IRS that represent what you'll probably spend later. We peons would never dream of attempting what corrupt wheeler-dealers like the Clintons commit exponentially.

"Exponentially" is a mathematics word! I like words. And pictures.

Nonetheless, like a true hero, I did check the math. [Full disclosure: I had an ischemic brain injury where I need to practice calculations to maintain my ability.] I agree with Richard Charnin: "Adjustments made to force the final....exit poll to match the recorded vote.... are mathematically impossible."

Lee Camp's raw data isn't "corrected"

Big media goes out of its way to convince us that exit poll numbers don't matter, even though they're what the United Nations and our own State Department use to validate elections in former dictatorships worldwide. Polls expose when voting machines are hacked. Why pretend exit polls require more than simply asking someone, "For whom did you just vote?" Why persuade voters to accept a charade?

Biased Republicans don't merit analysis. More complex are biased liberals who want people to get involved in politics. We want to stop cynicism and engage all citizens in the democratic process. We want everyone to vote, even in a rigged election.

....NOW can I go gallop a horse?

How rigged? The majority of New York City Board of Elections Commissioners knew about the purging of nearly 160,000 residents from the voting rolls as early as July of last year.

Evidence of fraud is overwhelming. Thank goodness some lawsuits are emerging that maybe will expose the extent of criminals misusing our tax dollars.

[To stop Election Fraud, blame the Russians]

Wanna gamble? How about THESE odds?Nevada Delegates on May 14.

Do you think elections are always a mess, and it's happenstance that the mess benefits the corrupt status quo? Wonks on the gravy train dissuade us from reviving government "By the People and For the People" by using numbers to intimidate us. They get payola to trick us to accept them at their word... and at their math.

But we can add two plus two.

2017 Update: Trump is STILL the lesser evil!
[Trump won the popular vote]

[October Update: Remember how the media lied about Bernie? Hillary's minions have been twisting all our perceptions: Video of "Violent Bernie Bros"?]

I have a thing for guys with snake hips.

(Forgive my superficiality: it's just a hormonal reflex, like my attraction to thickets of facial hair and to shirtless, sweaty construction workers.)

But hip girth isn't why I find Donald Trump repulsive.

Nonetheless, I may vote for tRump.

If our national hero Bernie Sanders is side-lined, electing Trump may be the only way to prevent entrenched corruption in our government from becoming completely intractable. We all know Clinton's propensity to break the law. On scrutiny, the devil we know is looking as neo-fascist as the insurgent devil.

Clinton's goons silence dissent; the real difference from Trump is that we liberal Bernie supporters aren't armed to defend ourselves from them.

Election fraud by the Democratic Party may not be worse than the GOP's. But it certainly isn't better. Hillary Clinton has adopted Machiavellian campaign tactics; evidently pilfered Bernie's database; hired a mercenary army of trolls to shut down democratic discourse; flaunted election violations in multiple states; and now her numbers look suspicious as hell. (See #ExitPollGate on Twitter.) At least Trump didn't rig voting machines.


@LeeCamp documents #ElectionFraud

Nevada's Convention on May 14 removed any doubt. Trump is heinous; Clinton however will end democracy and squelch any chance of restoring honor or taxpayers' rights to our government.

Clinton slush fund is NOT a charity

"Why I'm #StillSanders"

Bernie's greatest appeal -- one reason he gets crowds of 10,000s where Clinton's lucky to get 200 -- is his insistence that we can revive real democracy. Rigged elections destroy the inclination for citizens to vote and -- unless they themselves are corrupt -- repels them from participating in our government.

However upbeat, idealistic and pure we'd prefer to remain, we need to take election fraud into account. That's why I'm trolling around with my petition and steeling myself to vote for Trump in November.

I'm not the only dedicated but anxious Bernie supporter who's starting to think this way:

Even Hillary Supporters Should Want Her Defeated: President tRump would cause liberal candidates to sweep the 2018 midterm elections.

Trump would keep us agitated and active instead of defeated. Apathetic cynicism is anathema to civilization. Hillary's "fog of lies and payola discourage civic action," I say in my petition: "Big media's collusion with President Clinton#2 would perpetuate the illusion of democracy that numbs voters into passivity." We wouldn't have that problem with populist Trump and his outrageous behavior that mainstream television won't stop displaying. He'll keep us protesting.

Furthermore, checks and balances can rein in someone like him but not the juggernaut "Clinton Machine" and the bag of ruthless tricks on which Hillary Clinton relies. And he opposes toxic trade deals like the TPP.

The 1% owns our government now. Maybe our "political revolution" can ally with genuine Trump supporters -- those belligerent yokels -- to wrest back voting rights for the 99%. They too notice rigged media and election fraud. Trump's chanting hordes frighten me. But where America's left and right are "the spineless versus the shameless," Trump voters are brawn we might enlist for the ultimate good of the whole country and (in the light of Climate Change, wars, et cetera) the whole world.

From "Never Hillary" on Facebook

I'm a lifelong Democrat but as soon as the Primary's over I'll join the exodus of disgusted Bernie supporters. Schooled by Karl Rove and David Brock, the Democratic Party has grown as depraved as the Republican frat house. Clinton has slandered Bernie repeatedly including lying that he opposes Planned Parenthood (he has a 100 percent rating from them) and lying that he opposes gun control (he has a "D-" rating from the NRA.) Proven by the hacker Guccifer 2.0, the DNC's sabotaging Bernie Sanders is a direct attack on American democracy and, as such, amounts to treason. We must do everything possible to derail their toxic gravy train... including voting for the (racist, sexist, bizarre) Trump. Bite this bullet: think of the fun that comedians will have.

It's wretched that Hillary Clinton stinks even worse.

At the very least, please share this blog and/or my petition so establishment Democrats will hear about it. Post it in response to the #MillionDollarTrolls. That'll rile 'em! It's empowering to stand up to the Clintons' arrogance and subvert their dubious narrative that "At least we aren't as bad as Trump!" Our threat to vote for Trump could even blackmail the Democrats to stop sabotaging Bernie Sanders and democracy.

"I can stomach a bad election that gives us a bombastic billionaire buffoon as president" but not a lying criminal who knows better.

Don't write-in Bernie: vote AGAINST Clinton

I adore Bernie and will be beyond heartbroken if he isn't on the ticket in November. Election fraud is precluding his success.

Let's hope for a legitimate presidential election in 2020.
Of course I'd love a woman president. Or a guy... with snake hips.
