44. Yes, but to escape from those authoritarian governments, not to intentionally re-establish them.

They are constantly being lied to by oligarch operatives, and threatened when voting Democratic. They believe vote by mail is what they're told -- dangerous -- when it's the ONLY ballot protection given by federal law. In a racist state in a racist southern region, they keep their heads down or "if they can't beat 'em, join 'em" when it comes to business.

More support should be given by DU and this party to register Democrats in FL, whose registration is down by 100,000. Young Democrats are registering voting age high schoolers and college kids here; at least I like to believe it's true because I get texts from them, though I've not been able to contact them.
