It is a fact that Bush stole the presidency twice and it is also a fact that he is the president. There is no contradiction here: you can own something by stealing it.

Given the fact that the terms like fairness, justice, equality before law have been devoided of their meanings; we don’t really have a reference point to fix anything if the objective is to fix a broken election system.

In this respect the fact that 49% of the voters voted against the president becomes more important. Since this is a purely mathematical information and the only message is that "half of the population is opposing the current president". Even with the "NewSpeak" it is not possible to change or spin this information since it is not contextual.

Boycotting elections is not an option when you are a real condender (more precisely the real winner but the declared looser). Eventually stealing an election will require fraud on a more massive scale that will be too difficult to pull off. At that point the group who holds the power may want to hold on to it by force. A minority holding on to power is always a losing proposition as has been displayed on many occasions.

So numerical majority should never back down from the attrition war. If anybody suggests otherwise they are emissaries of the minority.
