We know this one was stolen from the outside, so next time around will be so much easier.

Empires rise and fall, so too shall this one.

(3,148 posts)Especially if we focus on reaching out to the WWC or the so called heartland. Donny will do everything he can to limit who votes.
The left, progressive, Democrats need to fight on the state level. As Donny administration will not be looking out for POC, college students, elderly, or poor people voting rights.

(9,527 posts)The election wasn't stolen. We lost because not enough people in the right states turned out for Clinton. This insistence that we lost because of something we couldn't control is both silly and distressing. Many of the same sort of things were said about Bush, and somehow we ended up with Obama as well as controlling the House and Senate.
It's distressing because basically it says why bother turning out to vote if it's hopeless? It's self-defeating.
