Trump has telegraphed his intent. But we've been given a heads-up, unlike the 2000 Florida debacle. As Dems we know we'll be required to hold the line this time out. Or as Hillary Clinton suggested to Biden:

Do Not Concede Under Any Circumstances.

Best case scenario? It's a Biden blowout and we avoid any more collateral damage. But if it's close, we hold the line even as the roof falls on us. We hold the line until we succeed. If the citizens of Belarus can push back, day after day after day, then Americans can surely do the same.

We're going to win this thing.
