(43,287 posts)Trump won't be on the ballot. Few Republican voters will be there to simply vote against Trump, and they were significant in 2020. While voting against Trump and for Biden, they voted Republican down-ballot. Without them we'd have 4 or 5 more Dems in the House right now.
I want to believe J. Alter, but he's historically optimistic. We're in a real dog fight.
Oh, yeah. Almost forgot. Republicans won't vote by mail. And they won't stand in lines.

Just as post election 2020 proved the courts even with frump appointed judges follow the constitution very closely and are not willing to support laws that clearly deny Americans the right to vote or overturn clear wins. If they try, it will go to SCOTUS. They were not even willing to hear some of the cases where frump and cronies wanted the election results overturned
I love Jonathan Alter...pretty much nails it
If you care to follow the suits filed

I am NOT sticking my head in the sand..so please dont go there. The above are facts and if HR1 doesnt pass, this may be the best we can hope for..for now.

And I know Im not some voice in the wilderness with this. The Dems will be pulling out all stops to, figuratively, attack and slaughter the Party of Goddamned Traitors everywhere.
