@Heretictus @AncientRedwood @Digitalis_Man You sue, you demand investigations, you vote them out, you demand the legislature investigate & write new laws, you run for office, you publicize the issues with press conferences, meetings, & papers, you call & email & write your representatives, you have rallies, . . .
@Heretictus @AncientRedwood @Digitalis_Man . . . you build coalitions, you create programs to teach people about the issue, you keep pushing your point. Do you think it was any less existential that women couldn’t vote, for example? /2
@Heretictus @AncientRedwood @Digitalis_Man Resorting to using the military to resolve legal issues & particularly those involving elections is to abandon the constitution altogether. There is no basis for doing that now. /3
@Heretictus @AncientRedwood @Digitalis_Man If what you’re asking is what is the immediate mechanism to making Nevada for example redo its election because of its voter roll problems, the answer is there isn’t one. That can’t be fixed now. It can only be fixed going forward. /4
@Heretictus @AncientRedwood @Digitalis_Man We have lost our ability to tolerate for any length of time things that we think are wrong. That is juvenile. That’s one of the things we correctly fault progressives for. It doesn’t mean you accept things that are wrong, of course. It means you have to work to correct them. /5
@Heretictus @AncientRedwood @Digitalis_Man Only children think problems that are complex can be made to go away through easy solutions or by resorting to some overwhelming authority figure or power who will straighten things out quickly. That’s not how life works after kindergarten. /6
@Heretictus @AncientRedwood @Digitalis_Man We need to demand accountability from our leaders & if they won’t give it, then we pick new leaders. We need to appeal to the principles of our fellow citizens to agree with us that reforms are needed & demand that the authorities undertake them or be voted out. /7
