As a result of this decision and the decision to gut the Voting Rights Act, elections will no longer be fair in this country in any sense, and voting will now be a privilege for the few.
We will need to campaign and campaign hard, anyway...and we will also need to keep building the culture of resistance that is being born in places like North Carolina(with its "Moral Mondays" campaign)in Texas with the spirit of defiance represented by the Wendy Davis campaign, and in other places the MSM hasn't reported on.
This will be a multi-front struggle, and no part of it will end on the first Tuesday of November.
The work just got harder, but the cause we are fighting for just became much clearer:
We are fighting for the belief that ALL, not just the 1% and their deluded acolytes, should have a say in the running of this country.
That ALL, not just those on top, matter, are of value, and deserve respect, dignity, and a voice.
We cannot surrender in this fight, because if we do...this will no longer be the United States of America...it will be the Randian Alliance of Confederate Liege-Lords.

And no, giving up is not an option, but people really need to revise tactics.
