This is a space for those who like and have supported Hillary Clinton, as we consider the way forward. Those who degrade her and her supporters will be met with recipes and pictures of pets.
In this edition of “Make the Impossible Possible” Monday, I’m merely going to refer you to diaries by Kascade Kat and the #AsktheElectors website.
We have seven days until the members of the Electoral College vote. The system that made a Trump presidency possible also has the opportunity to prevent him from ascending. If the electors understand their role and have read Federalist No. 68, it should be a no-brainer. Unfortunately, many/most electors probably don’t understand their role, and think their sole duty is to vote for whomever won the state.
They won’t change their minds without pressure from all of us. That’s why we need to contact the electors and otherwise do whatever we can to make them think twice about installing an unfit individual with disturbing Russian ties in the White House.
I would love to see the Electoral College scrapped. While it exists, we need to force it to serve the supposedly moral purpose it was meant to serve.
Is the task impossible? It certainly is if we never try. Let’s at least try.
Seven days.
This is your open thread.
