They're a minority. They control many states because every state gets two senators, regardless of population. They don't give a rat's ass about the Constitution, or fairness, or what America is supposed to be. They will suppress votes, "lose" the "wrong votes," and pull out all the stops to ensure that they win/steal the House, the Senate and the Presidency by 2024.
What's our strategy? What's our plan? How are we going to hold onto power?
And yes, GOTV is critical. But it ain't enough, given the thugs we're up against. (Republicans, if you don't get it.)
We're playing by rules. They aren't.
So, again I ask, how do we beat them? How do we ensure that America continues to be, America? How do we defeat American fascism?
Suggestions?

Then the WH, and hence the USSC.
But every November, elections have to be treated as dire and an event where democracy is renewed every year.
GOTV!
