The Democrats need a plan to stop Donald Trump from stealing the election

What would a mass, peaceful protest movement against the theft of an election look like?

CHARLOTTE, NC - AUGUST 25: (EDITORIAL USE ONLY) In this screenshot from the RNC’s livestream of the 2020 Republican National Convention, U.S. President Donald Trump addresses the virtual convention as he prepares to grant clemency to Jon Ponder, a convicted bank robber and founder of Hope for Prisoners, on August 25, 2020. The convention is being held virtually due to the coronavirus pandemic but will include speeches from various locations including Charlotte, North Carolina and Washington, DC.

Donald Trump spoke, his son spoke, his son’s girlfriend spoke, his daughter spoke, another son spoke – and that was only the first two days of the Republican National Convention. What they spoke was mainly lies, about Joe Biden and the Democrats.

Biden wants a “government takeover of healthcare”, said the former UN ambassador Nikki Haley. Not true. Biden wants to “abolish suburbs altogether”, said Patricia McCloskey, referring to an Obama-era rule designed to stop racial segregation in housing. McCloskey is famous for pointing a gun at Black Lives Matter (BLM) protesters as they passed her home – but you can’t point a gun at facts.
