And it was to my proposition that the very best way to remedy the current situation was a massive turnout of Democrats in 2018 and 2020. There were other arguments in that thread, as well. Some said, "It won't work." Others talked about other reasons why massive turnout of Democrats wasn't the answer. Some proposed solutions that are actually completely impossible.

Regardless of any other actions that might be taken, GOTV for the mid-term election can produce more wins for Democrats, which is what we need to regain control of federal government. There is absolutely no downside from increased turnout of Democrats. I'm sure you will agree with that.
