I get why this is the statement but what a fucking gut punch to certify the election of a president who is as happy to seize office by ballotbox as by violence.
The four years between 1/6/21 and 1/6/25 will be primarily remembered as a missed opportunity to bar insurrectionists from office forever.

The violent insurrection on January 6, 2021, remains a sobering reminder that we cannot take democracy for granted. We must always put country over party — and our democracy over any one person’s self-interest or ego.

I really do think it's important to press on this, because thinking that "all is lost" beyond the ballotbox immediately makes liberals functionally useless, already surrendered.
I'm not saying the ballotbox couldn't matter. But libs will only keep it mattering by having plans for escalations beyond

This sounds like a reasonable take until you realize it's in response to someone warning that there may not be elections — a totally reasonable and plausible prediction.
The poison of liberalism here is in thinking that "all is lost" without the ballotbox. That's the actual capitulating doomerism.

But mostly folks need to be scrubbed of the lingering liberal obsession with getting a majority.
Minorities alone can impede the function of power. Civil rights were not won at the ballotbox so much as made an increasing fait accompli from armed black activists.

NEW: A new audit by the U.S. Postal Service’s Office of Inspector General found a lack of training for post office staff, deficiencies in how ballots were tracked and errors leading to delays.
Experts say it raises questions ahead of the midterms.

The Voting Rights legislation was specifically designed to negate districts drawn to break up Black neighborhoods & minimize Black electoral representation, primarily in the former Confederacy. Now they rush to re-implement their racism at the ballotbox.

Speaker Johnson calls for redistricting Southern states before November
After the Supreme Court limited the Voting Rights Act, Johnson said states should consider redrawing House maps before the midterms. New boundaries would help the GOP.
