Two Big Reasons Why You Shouldn't Boycott the Georgia Runoffs

2020-12-04

[RedState] There seems to be an online war raging over the Georgia runoffs within the Republican camp and the Democrats are loving every minute of it.

Trump allies Lin Wood and Sidney Powell have been attempting to convince Georgia Republicans to boycott the runoff elections. This would effectively hand Democrats the Senate, giving them carte blanche over two of the three systems of government, with only the Supreme Court being a relatively safe zone for the American people thanks to Trump filling three seats with textualist justices.

Despite this being an incredibly foolish move, Georgia Republicans have attached themselves to the idea that if Trump was defeated due to fraud then there’s no point in voting the elections anyway, and if Georgia Republicans won’t fight harder to find the fraud that defeated Trump then they don’t deserve the support anyway.

The Trump campaign and family both disagree with this sentiment and would like people to get out in Georgia to vote, but it would appear many won’t be moved.

If it’s unclear why this move is foolish then here are two big reasons why boycotting the Georgia runoff elections is just bad tactically.

#7 Election gets corrected, going to want those 2 Senators.

Bidenface gets hoisted, without the Senate they don't even have to pretend.

Vote, and let them try to steal the run-off with the entire country watching.

#6 If people don't want to vote (since voting seems to work so well here), then so be it. That is there choice.

If the GOP had someone worth a darn in the first place that didn't drive people to vote Libertarian, they might not be in this predicament in the first place.

#5 I agree that it would be foolish not to vote. However, there needs to be controls in place to prevent widespread cheating and fraud.

#4 The Red State article is misleading. Powell said:

“I would encourage all Georgians to make it known that you will not vote at all unless your vote is secure.”

Why vote using a system which is corrupted and has not been cleaned up? Giuliani has been trying to kick the decision to choose electors to the Georgia Legislature.

#3 If ~~the Republican party~~ the American public lets the fraud stand, then there really isn't any point of doing anything about GA defending our Constitution or rule of law.

How can anyone swear the oath anymore? To what?

This isn't about one bad actor. This is both parties, the security agencies and administrative state, the entire newsmedia and the corporate and tech oligarchs fucking up the very foundations of the United States.

This is sabotage by thousands of well-placed Establishment insiders.

Imagine this: We all love our mothers. So what does a loyal son do when he learns his Mom's a secret crack addict who's been turning tricks on her way to the grocery store?

What is to be done?

#1 It is very clear. The right boycotting the election because they didn't like something got Obama elected.
