    The bigger the blowout is, the less marginal risk that any given precinct being fucked with can alter the outcome in his favor. Even greater reason to mobilize the vote as much as possible.

    The electoral college also has nothing to do with the midterms.

    It’s important to identify threats, but it’s also critical not to aggrandize their power and make them appear invincible. They are desperate to instill defeatism into the ranks of their opposition. But their bravado betrays their weakness.

    They absolutely rely on the obedience of various pillars of support throughout society to retain their power and legitimacy. Those pillars can be convinced and/or forced to cease their obedience and in some cases to actively provide support to the opposition. None of this is new or unique to America. Tyrannical regimes have been removed from power many time through nonviolent mass movements. We can learn from them if we choose to. UrEgBj03hDxV26s.png
