back when we had the house, the senate, and the white house, and could have done something about.

But it was too haaaard.
Never work, couldn't happen, forget about it, now send money.

The Right never works like that. They keep trying. It took them 50 years of careful strategizing and unrelenting campaigning to kill Roe. And that was just starters.

If we had at least tried, we might have enthused people enough to keep the House. History would be different.

Highlight:

How much of a landslide will be needed for Trump to accept a loss in Nov? [View all] agalisgv Aug 7 OP

He would find an excuse to have a meltdown no matter the result. dslyahoo Aug 7 #1

If he loses no matter by how much, he will not accept the results JohnSJ Aug 7 #2

I'm afraid it will lead to chaos agalisgv Aug 7 #4

Bring it, let's get this shit over with. Meadowoak Aug 7 #7

Is there a limit to how many times someone can try to steal an election? agalisgv Aug 7 #8

It wouldn't matter. He'll claim he won regardless. Ocelot II Aug 7 #3

What we need is a win robust enough that it can't be overturned in one (or preferably two) states. D23MIURG23 Aug 7 #12

Yes agalisgv Aug 7 #13

Unforunately,... Think. Again. Aug 7 #36

They'll try that, but I think it can be stopped. D23MIURG23 Aug 7 #39

The only thing that stopped it last time was pence covering his own ass. Think. Again. Aug 7 #42

He was scared to get into that SS car. orthoclad Aug 7 #48

And he was right about that. Think. Again. Aug 7 #50

It wasn't just Pence, it was a lot of people who resisted Trump. D23MIURG23 Aug 7 #54

It was only pence who's decision stopped it all. Think. Again. Aug 7 #60

Well, Harris will have Pence's role wrt certification, so if your theory is that only the VP matters, then no worries. D23MIURG23 Aug 7 #62

That isn't my theory at all, I don't know why you would think that... Think. Again. Aug 7 #63

Then why is it that only Pence matters and not all the other people who resisted? D23MIURG23 Aug 7 #64

As I mentioned, it was only pence's decision to certify that stopped the last coup. Think. Again. Aug 7 #66

Incorrect. D23MIURG23 Aug 7 #68

Like in 2000? orthoclad Aug 7 #49
