What is the ONE thing we could change that would have made this all just a bad dream?

If you go back in time and not even needing to know what we know now, just knowing THEN what we knew THEN, what was the one thing that if changed would have made a HUGE difference in the outcome of the election that was stolen anyway.

She won by 3 million votes, and supposedly in Detroit 70,000 mostly AA voters left prez spot blank --- BULLSHIT...

Election was stolen, but regardless of that what is the ONE change that could have been done that would have made those votes irrelevant, that the overwhelming votes would have been for our candidate, etc.

I wont say what my one thing is, I am curious what others think though.

Including voter suppression in a major way.

I just read a post that said turnout in Milwaukee has been huge so far.

I wish she had chosen a better running mate, someone more aggressive that, hell, would have upstaged her a little even, and even taken the inane email spotlight off of her.

Someone who would have been an attack dog, and torn Rump a few large holes.

Everyone should have easy access to vote, by mail or in person.
The rules for every state should be the same.
No nonsense, no shenanigans. People need to know that their vote counts.
No purging of voter rolls.
It really shouldn't be so hard to do. We can land a space probe on an asteroid--we can secure the vote.
Get rid of the electoral college.
