They've been working at vote suppression for years now, and they are getting ever better at it. Kamala won, and Democrats would have the House and Senate, too, but for these blatantly antidemocratic tactics! They don't want democracy, they want control!

We have to fight back now, they keep catching us flat-footed with this, gerrymandering and so much more.

@lrreynolds I suspect it was because no one thought their efforts would be so successful and that would have been easier said than done.

@notwhatwethink I get it, the deck was stacked against them, but damn they were in power and should have seen this coming long before the election night results. If they really believed that this was an existential threat (which it is) then why not at least try to put up some resistance.

Frankly this is why this guy is back, normal politicians are spineless and this is why guys like Putin, Xi and the orange clown can just role over them. Truly sad…

@lrreynolds Yes, they tried to play nice and like gentlemen when the other side has been playing dirty for so long.
