?xmt=AQGzzyfsyDOcJ42tWlKwSrjKjiKYbW1wEHv1-Q9UpXMKygI have been assured here on Democratic Underground over and over that this cannot happen, and I am hopeful that it cannot.
Its sick that we have to control the House in order to ensure that the person with the most votes gets to be in the White House. Pretty confident we will take back the House but we dont know what horrific things these traitors will do.
My point all along about being so overly worried was that 100 million of us need to make it loud and clear to the traitors in the 5th circuit and Supreme Court that it will not be worthwhile for them to steal this election, we will make it very very uncomfortable if they do. They have to believe that there will be an extreme reaction if they steal the election, but if they do not believe that, well you know what I think.
The fact that we can guarantee that they will do this if they have the power to do it is what we should be talking about what the whole country and the media should be talking about, think about it they have said they will steal the election if they can. 🤬

For Mystals scenarios to even become a possibility, all Dem governors of swing states would have to roll over and play dead while the voters in their states are disenfranchised, or the republicans would have to control both the house and the senate, and then everyone would have to go along with disenfranchising millions of voters in 1-3 states to create the conditions for Trump to be declared president.
In addition, Mystal got several basic facts about the process wrong, which further weakens the believability of his nightmare scenarios.
