      Yes, because thankfully the founding fathers made one smart decision by providing absolutely no legal mechanism for cancelling them.

      Trump can try - he will - but he won’t get very far. Even the Supreme Court won’t back him on this one (the exact ‘why’ of that is a lot to get into).

      He’s going to be better off trying to cheat the midterms than cancel them. In fact, his cancel talk is probably working against him, because it’s taking away from the urgency of figuring out how to commit the levels of fraud they need to commit.

      And the thing about election fraud is the more of it you do, the harder it is to conceal. That’s more opportunities to fuck up, more people who have to stay silent. So the more people vote, the harder it becomes for them to cheat. If they only have to nudge the needle that’s easy. If they have to bury it, that’s way harder.

      Achieving the levels of fraud you see in Russia doesn’t happen overnight. You have to extensively reprogram a population en masse to accept those levels of blatant fraud. Trump isn’t there yet.

      I’m not saying there’s nothing to be scared of. I’m saying the fight is winnable, if you don’t give up.

        Trump’s inability to shut up really is coming to bite him now.

          OK? I don’t disagree, those do appear to be the main vehicles through which they will attempt to depress the Dem vote.

          But I’m not sure what point you’re making, unless you’re just agreeing with me while adding specifics?
