we must never forget several things.
1) The gop has been trying to game the electoral college since Bush V Gore, because they know it was worked. They know that as long as the Electoral College says yes, then they do not have to giver one damn about what most of the country wants, especially those states with low actual population who think the rest of us can hang. We have to keep pressure on people to avoid tricks, all of us, from you and me to Joe Biden himself ,making sure that we are watching and ready to prosecute!
2) we know the gop have an accomplice in the media. There can be a Thousand skunks in a courtroom, and the media will say it smells like roses.
3) WE have to watch for those "lone gunmen" that will go to their deaths saying they are lone, yet they all will be shown to got to the same chatrooms, go to the same rallies, read the same books, etc. The real reason many love the first amendment is that they know that a gun beats a law every time, and that most people would rather NOT resort to that, as opposed to the gun shops that are LOVING this.
I am not trying to down enthusiasm, but I am reminding everybody that regardless of any good news Tuesday night, we need to be prepared for LONG FIGHT.
last and not least, we know that Netanyahu ,Putin, Xi and others will be happy to whip up some "October surprise." They know that Trump has damaged the USA more than they could have ever planned.

(38,624 posts)Should we prepare to double or even triple our daily post count?
but talk to people directly. Make the sorts of contacts that cannot be hidden behind a screen. I remember how in the bush election, people sabotaged DU, and it was like we were a turtle on it's back.
