NRC Propaganda

De NRC bericht: Veel rijen, Amerikaanse vlaggen en buttons. Zo zag stemmen op Super Tuesday er uit. Wat de NRC angstvallig verzwijgt is dat de opkomst in de VS al sinds meer dan een halve eeuw laag is voor een land dat claimt een democratie te zijn. Neem allereerst een universiteitsstad als Boston: Boston is the only city that releases voter turnout on the day of the primary, but, according to Koczela, has a stable enough relationship with statewide turnout to forecast totals across Massachusetts. He projected, based off the 3 p.m. numbers, that voter turnout in the city would total around 153,000. That number would be about 40 percent of the 382,946 voters registered for Tuesday’s primary. http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/2016/03/01/super-tuesday-voter-turnout-massachusetts-projected-smash-presidential-primary-records/hA2o058KbN1MC9D6Nyf96M/story.html 'Veel rijen'? Waar ziet de NRC die 'rijen'? De mevrouw op de foto telt weliswaar voor twee, maar dan nog: in totaal zien we slechts 6 kiezers. Nog absurder wordt de bewering van NRC wanneer u de landelijke cijfers ziet van de VS dat overal ter wereld, desnoods met geweld, 'de democratie' wil afdwingen. Let de komende maanden op de propaganda van de mainstream-pers. De mythe moet levend gehouden worden, daar wordt de 'vrije pers' voor betaald. The following is a listing of all of the voter turnouts in each United States presidential election going back to 1828. Election Voting Age Population (VAP) (thousands)[1] Turnout (thousands)[1]  % Turnout of VAP[1][2] 1789 1792 1796 1800 1804 1808 1812 1816 1820 1824 1828 57.6% 1832 55.4% 1836 57.8% 1840 80.2% 1844 78.9% 1848 72.7% 1852 69.6% 1856 78.9% 1860 81.2% 1864 73.8% 1868 78.1% 1872 71.3% 1876 81.8% 1880 79.4% 1884 77.5% 1888 79.3% 1892 74.7% 1896 79.3% 1900 73.2% 1904 65.2% 1908 65.4% 1912 58.8% 1916 61.6% 1920 49.2% 1924 48.9% 1928 56.9% 1932 75,768 39,817 52.6% 1936 80,174 45,647 56.9% 1940 84,728 49,815 58.8% 1944 85,654 48,026 56.1% 1948 95,573 48,834 51.1% 1952 99,929 61,552 61.6% 1956 104,515 62,027 59.3% 1960 109,672 68,836 62.8% 1964 114,090 70,098 61.4% 1968 120,285 73,027 60.7% 1972 140,777 77,625 55.1% 1976 152,308 81,603 53.6% 1980 163,945 86,497 52.8% 1984 173,995 92,655 53.3% 1988 181,956 91,587 50.3% 1992 189,493 104,600 55.2% 1996 196,789 96,390 49.0% 2000 209,787 105,594 50.3% 2004 219,553 122,349 55.7% 2008 229,945 131,407 57.1% 2012 235,248 129,235 54.9% https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voter_turnout_in_the_United_States_presidential_elections Kortom, bijna de helft van de kiesgerechtigden in de VS stemt niet tijdens de presidentsverkiezingen. En wat de zogeheten 'midterm elections' voor het Congres betreft is de opkomst rond eenderde. Desondanks roemt een zogeheten 'Amerika-deskundige' als Geert Mak de 'vitaliteit' van de Amerikaanse democratie. U zult de bedriegers rijen dik in de massamedia zien voorbijtrekken de komende tijd. POLITICS 2014 ELECTION Voter Turnout in Midterm Elections Hits 72-Year Low Charlotte Alter @charlottealter   Nov. 10, 2014      Frederic J. Brown—AFP/Getty ImagesVoters cast their ballots at a polling station in Alhambra, Calif. on November 4, 2014.  The last time voter turnout was this low, the U.S. was fighting WWII The last time voter turnout for a national election was as low as it was on Nov.4, Hitler was still in power, and Mitch McConnell was only nine months old. Only 36.4% of eligible voters voted in this year’s midterm elections, down from 40.9% who voted in 2010, according to preliminary analysis by Michael McDonald at the University of Florida. The last time voter turnout was that low was 1942, when only 33.9% of voters cast ballots, according to the United States Elections Project. That was also a year that the U.S. established the European Theater of Operations in WWII, so a large share of the voting population was a little busy doing other things. Voter turnout in presidential elections is historically much higher than in midterms– 58.2% of eligible voters voted in 2012, and 61.6% voted in 2008, the highest turnout since 1968. In other words, turnout for Obama’s first presidential election was almost double the 2014 midterm turnout. http://time.com/3576090/midterm-elections-turnout-world-war-two/
