MicroWaveIs Trump *trying* to lose the midterms?

CorrectAliasI’m real tired of hearing this line at this point. States run the elections, and even if he were able to get past that, republicans are on the same ballot and are also retiring in huge numbers. They need the elections to happen, they’re going to happen.
Now, you could argue that the elections won’t be free elections, and that would make more sense. Even shitholes like Russia have “"elections"”, but of course the result is predetermined. Nonetheless, Russia has “"elections"”. That’s not even getting into how the US has never cancelled an election, not even in the civil war.
Saying he’s trying to cancel the election just makes people who are considering to vote to change something for once less likely to do so, because why would they if they’re going to be cancelled anyway. You shouldn’t do the job of voter suppression for the GOP.
Regardless of all of that logic you just unleashed, he’s still going to try & red states like Florida are going to help him by passing their own version of the SAVE act.
It’s already happening.
I don’t deny that he’ll try, but them passing laws like the SAVE act show that they’re still planning on having elections. There would be no need to do voter suppression if you were just going to cancel the election. That’s the thing I’m really saying - the elections may not be free, they will cheat (or at least try to cheat), but there will be elections. I’d rather not make people feel like they shouldn’t bother voting because “the election is going to be cancelled anyway”. The more people that turn out, the harder it is to cheat.
