Will every loss be because of fraud? [View all]

We must recognize that there are some backwards districts across the country, and there are some backwards states. Heck, they are composed of backwards thinking people. When we lose an election, and especially when the outcome was never really in question, should we really immediately resort to the refrain of "something doesn't add up"?

If we are impotent and our loses are preordained, it trains us to just not care. Just not vote, it doesn't matter.

We are activist democrats. We should resist the temptation to default to denial. It was unbecoming in 2020, it is no different for us.
