I'm holding off to vote tomorrow, partly because I hope to ask some dumbass Republican "poll watcher", "Hey, Bubba, find any fraud yet?"
But I will admit, I'm worried.

Every Retrumplicans....and I mean EVERY ONE that does not refute Donnie Dipshit should be a pariah.

They should be made to wear sackclothe and ashes.

Anything less than that means that violence and refusing to accept and support the "peaceful transition of power" becomes the norm for our country.

This is NOT a fucking game, no matter how hard the media attempts to portray it as such.

Today, there is a report that 30% of Retrumplicans believe that violence will be required.

We better pray that those 30% aren't in the right positions in the military.

I watched 60 Minutes do a story last night about how Daniel Ortega was able to turn a Democracy into a dictatorship within 2 years!

Before 2020, I would have considered that something that couldn't happen here.

Let's just say that was NOT what I was thinking as I watched it.

It's gonna come down to getting out the vote tomorrow. Dems have a clear advantage in the early vote. But that's not enough. Republicans apparently have the lead in the enthusiasm factor. But that's not enough.

All about the vote tomorrow.

Vote, Vote, Vote, Virginia. If Dems come out in force, we win.

...while an article that tells it like it is gets barely a ripple. Go ahead, Democrats (and I'm one of you), kid yourselves. Someone will explain reality to you on Wednesday, but win or lose, here is a preview:

Optimistic for sure during an off-year election but it's not beyond the realm of possibility. Every non-repuke I know is really fed up with corrupt repukes talking about civil war and spreading Covid every time they open their traitorous mouths. I think that's going to lead a lot of Ds to the polls.
