"Calm down" and "relax" are not the same thing. It would behoove us to calm down, but not relax, continue the struggle as you say. The emotions we are feeling are proper, but should not be the only thing guiding our responses and actions while the election is at stake. At this juncture we do not even know exactly what we are responding to. Yes, we have been dealt a bad hand but let's see exactly what the cards are.

There is a range of possibilities, 1. the ram the new justice in before the election, 2. they wait until the lame duck session, 3. the most unlikely scenario, a handful of republicans hold it up until Biden is sworn in.
