Can we please dispense with the Debbie Downerism about how "we'll lose due to cheating."

Yes, this is a concern in some places. Yes, there have already been some ReSCUMlican dirty tricks in GA and ND. BUT, let's please stop saying "We are going to lose! We are going to lose!..." due to cheating. We all know we have seen it time and again from some on this forum. It's needless, useless stuff. I'm sure most of us don't want to hear that negative crap.

For one thing, there are lawyers fighting these things right now. Next, it has only made Dems want to vote MORE. They are fighting in those places with great resolve and determination. Early voting is WAY up, for example, in GA. Dems are excited and want to vote.

Also, we will have poll watchers and lawyers and hotlines dispatched all over the country on election day.

Enough of the Debby Downer bad self-fulfilling prophecies. It is only code language for "Don't bother voting, we will lose anyway." No place for it. We do not need it. We can take the US House and state and local level races all over the map and maybe even the US Senate.

Just go vote. And take friends and family. And donate. Even $5 helps. And phonebank, and knock doors, and text message, and use social media to urge like-minded friends and family to go vote. Do lit drops. Put up signs. Every little bit helps.

I have been driving for a local candidate so she can more easily knock doors. I also have putting out literature, putting out signs, and I just made some more small donations today to the state party, governor candidate, and US House candidate. And I voted early a week ago.

Now let's win elections in a big way this cycle!
