that republicans are ratfucking the vote all the time.

We have not been vocal enough in demanding that they be stopped. Hopefully, a huge Democratic turnout this election will put us in a position where we can make those demands and make progress against this theft of our votes.

Without a huge Democratic turnout this election, I believe we will never again have the opportunity to save our Democracy.
