trump is boxing us in again

All his comments about not accepting the election results have resulted in Democrats and anti-trumpers reflexively taking the opposite position--that our system is 100% flawless and that we should accept the election results, without question, regardless of what unfolds. Hence the Senate Bill that passed unanimously yesterday. We're still playing Checkers, unfortunately.

Perhaps a better strategy is to say something along the lines of:

You know what donald? Our system could use some improvement, because millions believe that YOU cheated your way into office last time. So why don't you and mitch pass election security? Why don't you and mitch give more finds to the USPS?

Oh... You don't want to do that? Why not? 🤔🤔

OK... That's awfully suspicious, donald. You don't want to secure our elections. You don't want to provide additional funds for mail in voting. It's starting to look like YOU are hiding something. Therefore, WE are not going to accept the results if you "win" under these shady circumstances.


Just my opinion, of course.

this back and forth with tRump distracts from the well documented shenanigans of trump and the GOP with regard to this election: slowing down mail, telling his voters to vote twice (which puts further strain on an already strained system), purging voters, threatening voters with cops and the military, shutting down polling locations, etc.

I think we can still be victorious in spite of the GOP's cheating, but we should not pretend as if this is a free and fair situation, IMO. The time to bring up cheating is during the game, not after.
