Just to be real, they really don’t care about the popular vote. They care about the electoral vote. And even that isn’t totally true. They care about the electoral victory. They long ago abandoned democracy; they don’t care about having democratically granted power. They just want the power.

A little felony by blacking out a mail-in ballot is literally the least they’re ready, willing, and able to do to win.

I continue to be incredibly frustrated by how little democrats have done to counter the fraud, voter suppression, constitutionally dubious laws, takeover of state election boards and volunteers, and armed, volunteer “ballot watchers” the Republicans have deployed.

The republican “ground game” that extends beyond simply GOTV efforts and campaigning and into the wide-ranging and widespread strategies and tactics to literally dismantle and inhibit the democratic process has been met with very little resistance by the democrats. Somehow they’re going to be blindsided by this, cry foul retroactively, and then be hamstrung trying to play defense from behind. Wilfully ignorant, short-sighted, and incredibly dangerous idiocy for something so fundamentally important.

The democrats don’t have to be unethical because the Republicans are, but they should have been being proactive and serious about countering these attacks on the democratic process. Instead the approach seems to be sticking their fingers firmly in their ears and going “lalalalala.”
