'Let's See What Happens' Is A Path to Election Surrender, Democratic-aligned Memo Warns
The press have to be paying closer attention to the potential for mayhem at the November midterm elections
The US news media needs to be covering more closely efforts by MAGA Republicans to attack and disrupt fair elections this fall, according to a new memo released by a Democratic-aligned newsletter.
Several key states contain large voting districts (usually urban, with pro-Democratic and with large minority populations) that can decisively swing close elections.
However, these large districts are uniquely vulnerable to MAGA Republican disruption of fair elections and the preparations for attacks of this kind are now occurring across the country, according to the new memo by The Democratic Strategist.
Voters will be going to the polls in November to determine the outcome of the crucial 2022 midterm elections, in which Democrats will be defending their razor-thin majorities in both houses of Congress for the remainder of President Biden's first term in office.
Although Democrats and others are taking steps against these potential attacks, the US news media aren't taking their potential seriously, according to The Democratic Strategist.
“The Democratic Party and independent election organizations are aware of this threat and some limited steps have been taken to organize resistance to sabotage on election day. The mainstream media, on the other hand, does not want to face the reality that this is an entirely realistic scenario and to warn Americans of the danger that exists,” a new memo said. “They much prefer to discuss ‘politics as usual' -- analyzing polls, predictions and historical precedents -- and to simply hope that the disruption will somehow not occur. They rationalize this by suggesting that responsible journalists and commentators should ‘wait until we see what happens.’
“But by the time it becomes possible to ‘see what happens,’ however, it will also be too late to do anything to stop the disruption from occurring,” the memo added. “The media needs to begin now to clearly describe the danger that exists so that the public recognizes this cynical strategy as it is being executed and refuses to be fooled by it.”
