        Georgia helped Biden win in 2020. Trump specifically asked Georgian officials to break the law to help him win in one of his many “perfect phone calls.” They refused and the citizens rebuked Trump’s attempt. That state is very much in play for Democrats (at least for POTUS EC votes) if they can control some of the meddling.

          I am sheltered in a very blue state and clearly have no idea what’s going on. Appreciate you explaining it to me, always figured Georgia was some bible belt red state. I need to take a trip some time.

          Even if they did give him Georgia he still would’ve lost.

          I’m not advocating against taking this very seriously, I just think that’s a funny fact.

        TFG realistically can’t win without Georgia. Almost all of his paths to victory center around the state.

      Biden already made an admission that he knows these issues are going to occur.

      Acknowledgement and action are different though. I assume that we’re going to fuck around and find out because no one wants to get confrontational with the Republicans over it.

      Watch it happen and complain after the fact based on historical precedent. Perhaps they will later appeal to the judicial system that will not care because trump spent his term fairly efficiently jamming it full of shit. Then instead of escalating the issue they will just let it go, because “decorum”

      Dems don’t even need to come up with a plan - the Venezuelan opposition just showed them what to do.

      Unfortunately, Venezuela also provided a roadmap to the Repubs. In the end, it may come down to exactly what you said: combat.
