107. I think if Biden picks Abrams as his VP we have great shots at GA, NC, FL

Unfortunately, those are 3 of the most corrupt Rethug states in the US, especially GA and NC.

This is going to be a brutal election. Only way the country doe not partially tear itself apart is a MASSIVE Rump loss, with him then being tried and convicted and imprisoned post-presidency, and finally a 'de-nazification' (not literally, but in de-programming intent) scheme to try and ram the white power genie back in the bottle (which I doubt will happen).

I am afraid forces have been re-released and re-invigorated in the zeitgeist that are going to take decades to diminish.
