Democrats should win in a landslide, if they do what we know we must

[egbertowillies]

The polls have been fairly steady showing a Biden Electoral College and popular 'landslide' win. Yet, Democrats are irrationally worried.

Here is why I believe that these actions will determine if we have a landslide win or not. The climate is ripe for that landslide.

1. SHOULD. I expect lots of cheating by Russian malware.

2. like 2018, 2020 is a WAVE ELECTION

3. Thank you

For having the thumbnail being you. I now know this is you talking.

4. We also need to be careful about making this purely about dumping Trump, Joe Biden has a lot more ..

going for him than not being Trump.

added: thanks Egberto for setting an example for the Packman show poster! I never miss watching/reading your stuff!

5. On top of voting in such numbers, I hope the waits in line for Cult45s is

deliciously too much to bear.

6. If they do what we know they must...just vote..that's all!!

7. Watershed election, 1980 the closest model in our lifetimes, and remember that

Herbert Hoover told us there were no problems. Just had to get the government out of the way.

1932 was a landslide.

8. I agree that we can not waste any metaphorical gun powder by being complacent

because poll numbers look good. I know a bunch of Trumpers and they are highly motivated to vote and just be a-holes in general.
BTW I also want to thank you @egbertowillies for changing your thumbnail to identify your commentary.

9. Great thumbnail. Nice background.

10. We must also battle voter suppression.

The polls don't take voter suppression into account and Republicans have gotten VERY good at it.

I have absolutely no doubt that the REAL reason Hillary lost because her lead was not sufficient to overcome systematic disenfranchisement.

Mail in ballots are being rejected at high rates -- currently a rate of 4.7% for African American voters in NC. (And 53% of Biden voters plan to vote by mail vs. 12% of Trump voters).

I would like to see some commercials that do more than call on people to vote. Those ads should also note that too many ballots are being rejected, so making absolutely sure your mail in ballot has no errors is crucial. This message should be part of EVERY GOTV effort, message, text, call, email.

There isn't much time, but other things we need to be doing:

Push states that don't start counting mail ins until election day to change the rules and start count early.

Monitor plans and make sure adequate, well-trained, resources are assigned to counting.

Make sure we have Biden monitors at every stage of the process.

Push states that do not notify voters of errors and give them the opportunity to cure to do so.

Take whatever action we can to make sure our county is allocating adequate resources for in person voting because, even with increased mail ins, we may still see high turnout on election day and cannot tolerate disenfranchisement by long line.

We shouldn't just be supporting candidates. We need to support organizations working to protect our right to easily cast our vote and have our votes accurately counted.

We should also be monitoring the efforts of our local parties and join in to make sure they are being proactive on every front possible.

We should be contacting voter rights organizations to find out what they are doing and lobby for action in areas that aren't being address.

We don't have much time, but the clock has not yet run out. There are things we can still do to limit systematic disenfranchisement.
