Biden won by millions and barely won.

Trump lost twice by millions and “won” the first time.

Districts are so gerrymandered that the democrats have to win by 15% to “win.”

Voting in and of itself is not enough.

Not anymore.

We need more than that.

If we could get at least a 90% voter turn out in every election cycle these fascists would not have a chance even with the system being "rigged". Overall the people in this country prefer candidates that are progressive. The problem is voter apathy, of which you are promoting with a defeatist attitude. You are so wrong.

GOTV is necessary, but no longer enough by itself.

Manchin helped republicons block voting legislation that would have stopped republicon dirty tricks. Including laws that will allow republicons to install losers if the Democrat manages to win despite the rest of their cheating.

Like I said if everybody votes they have no chance. Their tricks will not work. Yes it will take a massive turn out that's unprecedented, but if we can roll out the vote their game is fucked. Sorry you're wrong and are promoting a defeatist attitude which sucks big time.

Even if the democrat wins, they've passed laws allowing them to overturn future elections. GOTV alone is not enough, and does nothing about that.

This is on Manchins head.

I suggest you get up to speed before making such wrong and belligerent posts.

I don't know how anyone can be so unaware of what is going on! It's discussed right here on DU
