The war on democracy -- bigger than election 2020 [View all]

There's another thread citing Bill Kristol's tweet about Trump's strategy being tied to voter suppression, executive privilege, foreign interference.....etc.

So then, why are we focusing on getting out the vote? It didn't it work in 2016 when Clinton got the popular count, but Trump got the white house.

Shouldn't we be focusing instead on the other factors working in Trump's favor?

How can we combat executive privilege and foreign interference? How can we reverse or stall McConnell's abetment to the forces that diminish and destroy our democracy?

Voting blue is great. But it's not enough I fear.
