This is WHY you don’t vote.
Going down to the church at the end of my street and placing my mark on a piece of paper will not change things one iota. It only gives the process legitimacy. If you place a bet at the casino, you can’t complain the table is crooked -- you knew that when you placed your bet, but thought you could beat the house.
People today KNOW the left is going to cheat (AGAIN) this November. You think if you cast enough votes they won’t cheat? Won’t be able to cheat hard enough? They already manufactured more votes than registered voters in some states. AND WON THE ELECTION. What makes you think they won’t go, however far they need to go, to repeat the outcome?
IF you vote, you give legitimacy to the process. Well, you tried, but the house won. Care to try again?

To paraphrase Churchill “IF you will not fight (Vote) when it is safe and easy, how should I expect you to perform when it gets dangerous and hard “?

The scripture about being faithful with a little and earning the Lord’s giving you more responsibility comes to mind. And yes,the scripture was about being faithful to the responsibility the Lord gave you.

People like to say “God bless America “. Maybe we should show our faithfulness in doing those things our Forefathers set up in the Constitution .

Joe, please show me in the Constitution where it says “Don’t Vote if it’s corrupt”.

Maybe I missed that part.

--Benjamin Franklin’s response to Elizabeth Willing Powel’s question: “Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?”

“A republic, if you can keep it.”

Looks like we failed.

You want me to guarantee an honest election?

History would show there was never a totally clean honest election in the history of the United States. Cleaned up for nice history books but never an totally honest election.

I’d welcome facts and links if I am incorrect here.

What’s that meme about “all evil needs to thrive is for good men to do NOTHING”?

When will we get started restoring the Republic and even IF we agree the Republic is restorable OR Worth Saving?

I’ve heard all those discussions here. Even restoration of the Confederation of States and so on.

And all of those six noted in Proverbs are in the democratic party’s platform and handbook.

Show some scripture that objectively ties the actions of the apostles- our examples- and any inferences or their actions in support of this “responsibility” you are insisting on. Or, how about Jesus? Who does this world belong to at present? Does not God bring about Kings to accomplish His will? Don’t make an optional thing somehow a dereliction of responsibility with no universal, moral standard.

towasi an fascinating question.

Let’s start by asking IF Voting for a KING ever happened in the Bible.

Nope.

Let’s ponder if any Kings of the Roman era were ever voted in.

Nope.

So actual scriptures pointing towards even the IDEA of people voting a King into office wouldn’t happen, would they?

The CREATION of the Republic was an event never seen before. The Kings and Royality of the World were baffled about the very idea that the Common Man would VOTE for Who was going to be their King.

But since I cannot find a direct scripture about voting for the leadership of a nation, you’re the winner.

And I leave you with this:

--Benjamin Franklin’s response to Elizabeth Willing Powel’s question: “Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?”

“A republic, if you can keep it.”

Looks like we failed.

I appreciate your humble reply- I wasn’t trying to win anything of course- but I love a good debate. Frankly- I take no offense to you or anyone else who chooses to vote- that is a choice, and certainly no sin. Likewise, if I choose not to participate, I do not sin, and I do not harm a soul. I think a man needs to be convinced in himself and be true to himself. I do appreciate you brother- you speak as one informed and honest in your own right. Let us stand firm either way, as men. (Universal men…includes the ladies).

Joe Blow -You are falling for the left’s psyop. You and tens of millions of others have been manipulated by the left into not only withholding your vote but also into spreading the false notion that your vote doesn’t count.

Sure, absolutely they will try to cheat but there IS a limit to their ability to do so. Case in point: Brandon. If they can just “cheat harder” and always win as you seem to indicate, then why isn’t FJB going to be on the ballot? Sorry, you are wrong -- the commies knew that there is no way in hell that they could manufacture enough votes to get FJB re-elected so he had to be jettisoned.

To defeat the massive cheating that is to come in favor of Commie-la it’s all going to require massive turnout on our side. Seems to me that at least half of the commenters on this blog (and other similar blogs) don’t vote, just on principle…. how can any level of cheating be overcome if we can’t get even get 50% turnout? And BTW, turnout for primaries is way much lower (well under 20%) which is how so many RINOs get into office in the first place.

If you and others like you allow this one to be stolen just to prove a point, well that’s on you. Unfortunately it affects all of us.

And your casino analogy is flawed. The house doesn’t always win.

Again, by what standard do you speak? Are you not participating in an obsequious manner yourself to the psyop of “your vote matters”? These are not facts you are sharing, but beliefs. All beliefs- that you gained somewhere

My question to you: After experiencing just 4 years of the FJB administration, why would you not do even the absolute bare minimum to prevent the continuation of that madness?

I have spent countless arguing with my brainwashed commie sisters to try to convince them to stop supporting that nonsense. So frustrating and apparently an absolute waste of time considering there are a huge number of folks on our side who seem to be completely down with the FJB agenda.

Do you really look forward to being a character in real-life version of one of Matt Bracken’s dystopian novels?

I see voting very differently. The system I consent to when I vote is the legitimate system, not their cheating process. I cannot stop them from committing fraud -- but I am not ‘consenting’ to their fraud. You with holding your vote signifies that you are content to go with their fraud. Not voting will not stop them in any way from subjecting you to the outcomes of their fraud.
I’m encouraged to see some progress being made in several states toward preventing the fraud -- and the investigation in Georgia establishing the fraud that took place.

No, it does not. Your opinions are respected, but not your subjective assumptions of my actions- or my choice whether to act or not. You don’t know anyone’s heart or motives.

Funny, I never really noticed the upvote thing before. How ironic that upvoting is allowed considering the attitude toward voting in general on this blog 😉

Interested on thoughts on how to remove consent?
One still have to pay taxes or be thrown in prison.
How do you throw a wrench into the cog?

I like Larkin Rose’s expression better. Consent of the governed is an oxymoron or even paradox. If one consents then they are not governed. If they are governed, then they didn’t consent.

I ALWAYS vote —-- and I write-in “withdraw consent”
Writing in anything else, says you agree to play the game. Then when your person/character loses, and you gripe, that just makes you a sore loser.

A couple of reoccurring thoughts.
Voting is not the problem. It is the cheating and lying that is the concern.
If it is Gods Will that we experience this, who are we to question His methods? He warned us of these times and days, He also told us how to get through them.
Also how many times do we hear lately that God will not be mocked? Could it be that by some of our own daily actions, thoughts and words, that yes, even we have been mocking God?
Yes our Rights come from Him and He alone, but this is not without periodic correction!
