'Framing' . Unfortunate framing. Many people are missing 'if'.
It's delusion to get on the phone at WJ or write a blog or be a candidate and say:

The Democrats are going to take back the xxxxxxx.

The missing word 'if' should be used to keep their heads straight and do what they can for what it implies.

Many must say -

The Democrats are going to xxxx IF THE VOTE IS NOT STOLEN.

Rep. xxxx is going to win in my state IF THE VOTE IS NOT STOLEN.

The phrase teaches, warns, and causes peole to wake up. How many here on DU started watching the theft from the beginning. How many were woken recently?

We are in danger. It is not being negative to add the word and phrase. It makes us postivie. Teach, Teach. Teach. If not more.
