The NY Democratic leadership: they see you when you’re sleeping, they know when you’re awake…
…they know if you’ve been bad or good, so be good for goodness sake.
And that means you better vote on Tuesday or they’ll find out. Got it?
Good:
The New York State Democratic Committee is bullying people into voting next week with intimidating letters warning that it can easily find out which slackers fail to cast a ballot next Tuesday.
“Who you vote for is your secret. But whether or not you vote is public record,” the letter says.
“We will be reviewing voting records .”‰.”‰. to determine whether you joined your neighbors who voted in 2014.”
It ends with a line better suited to a mob movie than a major political party: “If you do not vote this year, we will be interested to hear why not.”
“Interested.”
“Who you vote for is your secret.”
For now…
From this chilling letter, it is but a very small step to one that says: “We don’t officially know for whom you voted. But don’t think for a minute that we can’t find out. And if you don’t vote the right way — excuse us, we meant the left way — there might be consequences.”
Eek. And even that won’t scare some of them into questioning whether they should be supporting a party that would make an overt threat like that.
they sees you when your sleeping
they knows when your awake
they know if youve been f*cked real good
and when you masturbate…
The Left requires your obedience. They will not tolerate the worship or belief in “foreign gods”.
I apologize for being off topic, but I just wanted to mention that I am in a “bell weather ” area, southern NH, and no one has been door to door to solicit votes in my neighborhood. It is unusual or I wouldn’t bring it up. Could be it’s just down to the weather.
Nice constitutional republic ya got there. Be a shame . . . .
I hope this intimidation backfires and causes offended low-information Dems to vote against the Dems.
I mentioned before at Bookworm Room, that the several million Republicans votes that were said to not have turned out, may have just been the deletions from the rolls, to cover up how such votes turned Democrat after the vote.
So if Dems vote Repub, they would just get automatically changed to the Dem vote before people noticed, and since Dems usually vote Dem, there would be no correlation or unusual notice.
For the Dems, even ghosts and dead people can vote Dem. So why not Republicans in the millions?
Y…
Doubtlessly true in Chicago — now true everywhere.
The unsaid implication being, ‘Nice life you got there, it’d be a shame if something were to happen to it…’
Seems to be quite a bit of fraud in early voting. Too bad you don’t really hear about it in U.S. newspapers. You have to search on line.
The tone of the party matches the tone of the master, who is said to be extremely angry and frustrated because he only has 2 years left, he’s worked soooo hard for them, and these lesser beings (voters) and processes (elections) are possibly wrecking his presidency.
“That’s a nice gov-ment check you got there. Work’s for suckers, right? Be a shame if that check stopped coming. Capish?”
Are there people who are surprised by this? Why do the D’s favor card check for union votes? Nothing says love like breaking a few arms for the cause!
The funny thing is — what would Democrats say, if Republicans were to mail out letters like this?
I think we know the answer to that question, right?
THIS is the kind of behavior they expect from US… except that they don’t get it.
RE: “If you do not vote this year, we will be interested to hear why not.”
Since I don’t care one wit about satisfying their curiosity and don’t owe Democrats any explanation for my actions, they can pound sand.
I wish there were time to publicize this letter far and wide, with the caption:
THIS is how Democrats feel about you.
Perhaps you should teach them a lesson and vote for somebody else.
I was in Zaire, now the Democratic Republic of the Congo, in the early 1970s and President General Joseph Mobutu was president for life. He always got over 99% of the vote. You could only vote for or against because he was the only candidate. The ballot wasn’t very secret and anybody that dared to vote against Mobutu was beat up. I wonder if the Democrats are going to send the goon squad to visit people who didn’t vote properly.
Alan F, 2:25 pm — “I hope this intimidation backfires and causes offended low-information Dems to vote against the Dems.”
NOTHING will cause low-information Dems to vote against the Dems. The decades-long demonization by the enemedia and academia of all things Republican long ago took hold, and it holds fast. But it is conceivable that a few low-to-moderate-information Dems may not vote, despite (even because of?) the not-very-subtle bullying letter.
Enough to make any long-term difference? I kinda doubt it myself, but I’m your garden-variety pessimist -slash- realist.

This is an act of desperation. This veiled threat is being sent to registered dems, 20% of them “cousin pookies” who have realized bho is busy attending $30,000 a plate fundraisers with honky billionaires and cares not about their pathetic complaints.
As Erick Erickson writes, the Republicans have done this also in the current cycle. For some reason, it’s not receiving the same coverage:

EE isn’t happy about it, neither am I. It just feels wrong. And it doesn’t speak well to the character of our current leadership.
to bad that modern liberal politicians think that check and balances are the things you deposit in the bank and where you put your thumb… – artfldgr
Matt_SE: From Erickson’s article, Erickson’s wife received mail from the Georgia Republicans making reference to her past voting participation. (I believe it; I got a robo-call doing the same). But he does not indicate the mail included (and I did not get) the same kind of threat that the NY Democratic message ends with. I didn’t like it (and will be letting the Ga. GOP know it) but this is not quite ‘the same thing.’
