(352 posts)and I agree with you that something about those swing states surges AND Elon's rush to get access to databases after the election stinks to high heaven. I wish our side would have investigated this, but they didn't and now I think that ship has sailed without hard proof. It's time that we LEARN/ACCEPT that Republicans always cheat and so we have to be smart about building defensive strategies, exposing their chicanery (closing polling stations, limiting hours, gerrymandering) and cultivating energetic candidates who will PUBLICLY FIGHT for as progressive an agenda as possible for that particular community, all the while accepting that not every community will vote for a Mamdani, so we have to have a "vote blue no matter who" attitude.
