We cannot stop what they are going to do now before the election and a potential lame duck.

Let them dig their own grave.

Don’t give them reason to rile their base of facists racists homophobeS and misogynists over our hero.

Let’s get Biden and the Senate and do what needs to be done after.

That is sort of where I am at this moment. I suppose my opinion can change.

Let it all be on them. No avenue to twist. Let them ruin themselves.

..."let that Nazi arsonist burn my house to the ground. They'll arrest him eventually and make all Nazis look bad".

I too feel powerless though.

but accept what one cannot change and fight where it matters.

Get Joe and the Senate and then cram shit down their fucking throats.

none of this phases most of them.

The only thing that will stop this is 4 republicans who realize that integrity matters. They won’t nominate anyone before the election and if Biden wins there will be an uprising if they try to do it after.

Just 4 republicans with a soul is what we need to commit that who wins the election gets the pick

I too doubt they will try before November 3rd.

We need to remain focused on getting Biden and the Senate. WIN.

Then we fight like mad dogs. Still might not change anything between Nov 4 and January 20.

Once January 20 comes and we win, we start shoveling their shit back at them.

I see no other potential reality to solve our condition.

And the heat that will be on Republican Senators up for reelection will be intense.

And the heat on the nominee will be intense. All within days of there being an election.

This particular nominee will have every decision, every comment, scrutinized. And if, by some means, they are confirmed, their legitimacy will forever be questioned.
