83. I hope the Biden campaign are SWOT analysing this to the hilt

Every one of these points, and ideas on how Trump etc can rig the election, need to be taken into account.

If the Biden campaign haven't done this yet, here is what I would do if I had an hour minimum with the higherups.

Under the banner of 'what will Trump do before, during and after Nov 3', I'd break the team into 3 groups.

Each must do a brainstorming session (divergent thinking) and then finding the most likely scenarios to work on (convergent thinking).

Any and every possibility is on the cards (e.g. Blackwater troops; any underground militias (the fat old blokes) being trained by Russian or North Korean special forces; fradulent mail ballots; lawsuits by the thousands; Repub states siding with Trump; 'accidental' deaths; sabatours; some arcane law being brought back into action; arrest of House and Senate dems under trumped up charges etc.)

in fact, every point made in this thread goes into the pot.

Which has the greatest likelihood? Experts in all fields will tell you. Bring them in.

Then line up what we can do against this, and start planning now. This itself is also a SWOT analysis (in W, would be lines like 'but Trump will be hauled out by troops and Biden will be the new CinC!'). Anything that sounds like 'lets reach across the aisle' 'we go high when they go low' is not going to be helpful in front of a fascistic system. Anyone that reminds you of the German KPD/SPD spat from 1933-1936, thinking the NS will fall in a heap, needs to be put aside. We're the ones saying we have to learn from history or we are doomed to repeat, well don't doom then!

I imagine this is being done, but just in case it isn't, this is my best suggestion on ways forward.

Hope this is helpful (this is also my first post, hope its not too intense!)
