if not for the deliberate kneecapping of the US postal service, the purge of lawful voters from voter rolls, the scary robocalls and all the other tricks that the GOP used this election.

(17,283 posts)was a MOST POWERFUL move - along with the BULLSHIT that BunkerBoy has done since then.
We ARE NOT good - there is NO reason for us to be sweating this out right now. Moscow Mitch and his RepubliCon troopers have put us in this position.
NOW is when we must fight long and hard - WIN with JOE and start fixing things - otherwise - we're done...........

As to purging, show me just 5 voters, much less hundreds of thousands, who showed up at the polls and were told they couldnt vote became their name had been removed.
The robocalls were criminal, but at least most Democrats had already voted and are not as stupid as people seem to think. I hope those responsible are tracked down and prosecuted.
For this election, let the GOPers scream about being cheated.

And even with Covid, if trump had just attacked it like he attacks political opponents, I think he would have guaranteed re-election.

(11,465 posts)The good news is that, if it really is about Trump personally, a lot of his cult will abandon the GOP again once he's gone.

(3,904 posts)The USPS was deliberate destruction of an american institution, we've always been able to count on. The closing of polling places, or voter purges, reduction of days for early voting in many states, gerrymandering.
We need to reinstate and fortify the voting rights act, and make it irrevocable.
