      Hard to overstate how disrespectful this is to voters, & to Black, Latino, Indigenous citizens in particular. Imagine having the power to protect the fundamental right of the people who put you in office, & telling them you won't protect them, they'll just have to fight harder.https://twitter.com/lizcgoodwin/status/1418532286077841414 …

      You literally cannot out-organize gerrymandering, or out-organize state governments that are gerrymandered overturning presidential results. It's impossible. It's magical thinking.

          Not to speak of which - that view DOES NOT ADRESS the parts of the voter suppression laws designed to OVERTURN RESULTS that governing Republicans(who draft /implement those laws) do not like. I ... don't understand how federal govt leaders elected to address this don't get that.pic.twitter.com/FXr4rj0Y9Q

          You either beat it through legislation when you have the chance, or end up having to fight the much harder fight when they inevitably try to overthrow democracy altogether.

          No. You out vote it. We didn't. 2010 and 2016, 2018, 2020 screwed us hardcore. What mythical power do you believe the Executive has over state legislatures or Congress? He can't make them do a thing. Now go back to those years and put the blame where it belongs.
