Embittered old shrew has discovered the radical right's plan to steal the 2024 election, and the Greenwich Invisible Ladies' knickers are already knotted

Hillary has stumbled across yet another diabolical plot, worse, even than the Russian Conspiracy
Former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in a video posted to social media accused "right-wing extremists" of having "a plan to literally steal the next presidential election."
The video was posted by an organization called Indivisible which claims on its websiteto be "a grassroots movement of thousands of local Indivisible groups with a mission to elect progressive leaders, rebuild our democracy, and defeat the Trump agenda."In the video posted to Twitter on Friday, the former secretary of state began, "Hello, Indivisibles. I'm here to highlight something that is keeping me up at night, and I know this group really understands what I'm about to say. I know we're all focused on the 2022 midterm elections and they are incredibly important, but we also have to look ahead, because you know what? Our opponents certainly are."
"Right-wing extremists already have a plan to literally steal the next presidential election and they're not making a secret of it."
"The right-wing controlled Supreme Court may be poised to rule on giving state legislatures, yes, you heard me that correctly, state legislatures, the power to overturn presidential elections," she added.
"Just think if that happens, the 2024 presidential election could be decided not by the popular vote, or even by the anachronistic Electoral College, but by state legislatures, many of them Republican-controlled."
"But there's also good news in the face of this very real threat to democracy," Clinton continued. "Indivisible has launched, 'Crushed the Coup' to make sure we're ready to defend democracy in 2024. They've put together a list of critical races in six key states and how you can get involved."
Clinton then pitched, "Will you support 'Crush the Coup' by donating to Indivisible and state legislature candidates? Each of these races is highly competitive and your dollars could very well decide the winners, and the winner of the next presidential election, this could not be more important or more urgent."
For those readers fortunate enough to have overlooked the local presence of “Greenwich Invisible”, it's a branch of the national group, formed by the Ladies of Belle Haven to elect “non-partisan” women to our RTM.
According to the organization's website, "Indivisible was founded in response to Trump’s election - but we know that Trump is a symptom of a sick democracy, not its cause. We face two fundamental problems: first, our democracy was rigged from the start in favor of the white and wealthy."
The groups added, "in the last few decades, an alliance of white nationalists and the ultra-rich have been actively working to further undermine democracy and cement their hold on power permanently. That’s how we ended up with Trump. We have to build a democracy that reflects a broad, multiracial “we the people,” one that works for all of us and is sustained by all of us. Only then will we be able to achieve a progressive vision for our future."
Membership in Greenwich Invisible is open to all property owners, not just Belle Haven residents: co-founder Joanna Swomley, for instance, lived and labored in the fields of S. Baldwin Farm until she sold her vegetable stand there (for $4.625 million) in April 2021, and moved to Florida and a Manhattan co-op. And the members’ domestics are also invited to join as auxiliary members, provided their votes are inspected and approved by their employers. It’s a swell group; or a group of swells — whatever.
