Don’t discount the lying, cheating, election manipulation, voter suppression and outright intimidation. If only votes mattered.

We mustn't forget voter nullification. At least one state legislature has given themselves the power to nullify a result of they don't like it. Which raises the question: if they are so sure their side is so great, why do they work so damn hard to ignore the will of the people?

Best question ever. Only those who think they are likely to lose a popular vote go to such extremes - all the while accusing the other side of doing what they are doing. Sort of like Putin and others of his ilk. Sadly, MAGAts are on board with a rigged election to get their cult leader. Not only to lead them to hell but all of us.

You took the words right out of my typing fingers. This will not be a fair election. Red states disenfranchising thousands, reducing voting methods, installing MAGAs in positions to refuse to certify a Biden victory, recruiting armed “poll watchers”…..

And the trolls, Sinclair propaganda on local stations, third party spoilers, the SCOTUS undermining voting rights… I no longer believe voting alone can or will make the difference.

As Stalin said, it matters not who votes, it matters who counts the votes. It’s not just Goebbels they have read and follow his strategies. They have mined the words of the worst.
