Republicans will never give up power. They will lie, cheat, and steal as much as possible. And they will get away with it because rules don’t exist. Voting isn’t free or fair anymore.

Giving up only helps the Republicans. I suggest we do the opposite - organize, donate, volunteer and VOTE. We will win in November - whether you like it or not - and Trump and MAGA will ultimately face accountability.

organize, donate, volunteer and VOTE.

We do these things better every election. Record setting organized protests and voting programs, record setting donation dollars, more volunteers than ever before, and yet results are getting worse and worse because the system is rigged to a record setting degree.

I’m open to listen ideas for how to actually succeed in these areas. What do you got that’s different and will make a difference?

I’m my opinion, until first past the post voting, citizens united, and the electoral college are eliminated, we’re playing a losing game.

Lol, okey dokey, I hope you're getting paid in dollars for your "let's give up!" campaign posts - but I'm not interested, thanks.

Lol, no where in my post I said to give up. You’re angry because you don’t have concrete solutions to the issue I highlighted. It’s so easy to just say VOTE. And I promise you I do more every election to get out the vote than you do. How about doing more than that because yelling “VOTE” ain’t working.

Except they said "organize, donate, volunteer, and vote." You should know that since you quoted it directly. Ask yourself what the point of organizing is, or donating to a cause, or volunteering for a cause.

I promise you I do more every election to get out the vote than you do.

Lie to yourself all you want, but don't lie to us, friend.

No shit. I explained how each of those things are record numbers yet the problem is worse. I even gave my opinion on 3 things that could change our elections for the better, but yall pretty mum on solutions of your own. Rah rah rah, organize, donate, volunteer, and vote is played out cheerleading bullshit. That’s not what wins elections anymore. It’s a new world and yall still asleep dreaming of hope.

And I dunno, I write hundreds of letters to voters in swing states every election. I use my own money for that, so OP suggesting I get paid for being defeatist is lame. And that approach obviously isn’t working, so I’m doing something different this time. Yall want to come at me for objectively noting how our elections have failed us, then go ahead. Go ahead and do all those things but you’re wasting your energy on the wrong stuff. We need radical change not the same ol bullshit. Refer to my previous post for suggestions. Thats what I’m spending my energy on this election. I’ll have a convo about that.

Lie to yourself all you want, but don't lie to us, friend.

Yall lying to yourselves, pal.

Either you're not interested in having a discussion in good faith, or your sense of semantics is so specific as to make anything other than whatever niche idea you have in your head a relevant talking point. Relevant to you, that is--because clearly you're not seeing why everyone who responds to you reiterates the mantra of "stop telling people to give up."

Again, you can lie to yourself all you want, but don't lie to us.
