they are openly plotting how to steal the election because no one punished them last time and they have every expectation that no one will stop them this time either. it will work if democrats don't get much more serious about how to fight it and what that looks like.

The literal plan they've been discussing large chunks of publicly on social media for four years is to steal it.
It's not subtle.
I worry about this stuff constantly, too, but we saw what happened when states tried to keep off the ballot. We’ve seen the arrests of fake electors and hundreds of J6ers locked up. We’ve even
Some 93 indictments are hanging over TFG’s head.
Courts move slowly and prosecutors have to build strong cases.
I’m not sure what ppl want Biden to have done.
It's like, "look, were mistakes made? Yes. But the thought was clearly slow and steady wins the race."
You want someone who will lock the bad people you don't like up indefinitely? There's a term for that, dictator.
Why WOULDN'T they try again?!?
The voters who keep re-electing people like this are responsible for the corruption.
(Also, let's abolish "state's rights". Fuck your state, and fuck its rights to be a shit hole)

I expect that the election won’t be as close as 2000, and that SCOTUS’s lack of troops (yes, even counting the Proud Boys and similar) will prove an obstacle to it imposing its will on the country if it continues to ramp up its aggression against us
Any faith put in popular push back to the SCOTUS deciding the election for Trump is wildly misplaced.
I get that flat out refusing to certify is...problematic for them.
Can they simply do what they accused Dems of last time and toss or replace votes? I mean, literally, who's counting?
thx
If the courts don’t force certification through criminal contempt, then that would be catastrophic but I think it’s extremely unlikely. It’d be out of lawyers’ hands anyway then.
...which is the *exact wrong thing* for Democrats to be telegraphing at this point, even if they believe it.
Remember, the Cool Zone is very much a place we want to avoid!
But I also don't see too much sense in extensive planning for beyond the event horizon here.
We literally have the same legal system as Britian, just make sht up as you go along to get the results you want. Its all ad hoc and there is no rule of law here, just rule of men - 6 of them, specifically
Biden absolutely isn't ready to talk about that yet. Harris might be, but I doubt the JCOS have been approached.

Hmm. I think you might have the answer to that.

Doug Jones would be a good AG pick, I think, if we survive til then
