If they steal this election again, what are you prepared to do?
Just want to ask my fellow DU'ers, how far are you willing to go? Are you willing to risk your job? Your livelihood? Your freedom? Your life? Are you willing to brave tear gas, pepper spray, stun grenades, and possibly beatings by overzealous right wing cops? If you haven't answered yes to any of these questions, then just know that we will never get our country back, should they succeed in their electoral theft again.
I can tell you that I have been tear gassed, pepper sprayed, and arrested during my career as a protester. Although none of them are pleasant, I assure you that you will survive. And you will be much stronger when it is all over with. I ask all of you to join me in pledging resistance in the event that our third presidential victory in a row is wrongfully taken from us again. We must organize and work together, for united we are strong. Join with me in pledging that if McCain steals this election, for the next four years, our government has such a difficult time with it that they NEVER try anything like this again.
VIVA LA RESISTANCE! (If necessary of course)
It's a very big bonfire, so only the Primitives of Prominence:

1. There will be no next four years of McCain if the Republicans steal it again.
We're going to Washington and we're going to stay there until the elected president is sworn in.
Period.
We need a web site and we need to develop this plan every single day from now until the fourth.

62. But the people don't support them. Or McCain would have a chance of winning.

24. They've worked for years to discredit exit polls.
Exit polls apparently don't work in the United States!

23. Close race, Bradley Effect, voter fraud. We have to mind how the story is shaping up. They need a story to make it work.
The bonfire blazes on and on, with all sorts of suggestions about what one might do, everything from merely accepting it to moving to another country to "I'm disabled and can't do anything" to blatant subversion; one primitive, allegedly a "roller skating (? not sure) champion," pledges to not enter various competitions.

48. Highly Unlikely The Election Will Be 'Stolen'. If It Is Then No, I'm Not Willing To Do Those Things

63. I'd like to think that if that time came, I would have the courage to do something like this man did
after which famous photograph of man standing against tanks in 1989, in a socialist paradise of the workers and peasants with free medical care for all
One suspects, no, the salacious primitive wouldn't have the courage.

64. Why would anyone ask posters to potentially incriminate themselves with damning posts?
This whole exercise is ill advised, for a variety of reasons.
I dunno.
As most here know, I start copying-and-pasting a bonfire on Skins's island before reading the whole thing, reading as I copy-and-paste. I was hoping to learn what the lying titty primitive plans to do, but when I got to the end of this bonfire, the lying titty primitive hadn't showed up with his M-16 yet.
