The Democratic National Committee is moving ahead with its plans to virtually nominate President Joe Biden in the coming weeks, sending out an email to its members Wednesday morning stressing that that is “the wisest approach” despite fierce backlash from some Democratic lawmakers.
I can understand the outlook of another Trump victory being disenfranchising, that is what the fascists are depending on. It’s Bannon’s flood the field with shit so that you can’t tell wtf is going on, and people just give up.
So knowing this, the non-fascist citizens need to spread the message the best they can about the Rights plan(s). Don’t let people in your circles become disenfranchised, offer to drive them to the polls if need be.
And I think your last point may have held water for the old school Democrats, but this election kinda blows all of that out of the water. Trump has threatened to come after members of Congress should he win. If you aren’t on team fascist you’re not going to be safe from Project 2025. And all the fundraising in the world does nothing if the GOP and the corrupt SCOTUS let Trump just stop elections “for national security” under some “protecting elections” nonsense. He has been priming his cult to accept it for years now.
I’m not going to waste my time driving voters to the polls in a non-swing state, I’m getting as many queer folks out of the red zone as possible before Trump takes office.
Getting people out is commendable. However, if everyone in a non-swing state forgoes voting, that just lowers turnout and will help fuel Trump’s election denial plan the Right will launch if they don’t crown him king on election night.
And I don’t mean to be shitting on someone doing a good thing for a vulnerable group, but we need to win with numbers that are outside any reasonable margin of error.
