someone will be along shortly to comfort us with the fact that all we have to do is just GOTV and everything will be OK.

Voting is not worth it and won't change anything. We have no chance. Stay home and watch Netflix instead.

"Don't worry,

Perhaps I misread the sarcasm in your post? It seemed to suggest that those who preach "GOTV" are dying so in vain.

I've said many times that everyone voting is necessary. The difference is that mere GOTV alone is not enough any more. For example, the topic of this thread. We could win 95%-5% and still "lose" because a MAGAt refuses to certify, or in some states they just overturn the results. That's why we needed those election laws that Manchin helped republicons block.

Yet there are many who will continue to stick their head in the sand and tell us not to worry.
