to the polls in anything like the numbers who claim to care, we can overwhelm the stolen numbers, though. We lost the presidency to Trump by less than 80K votes, tragically nothing in a nation our size.

Speaking of, if you know someone who claims voting is a waste of time or not voting Democrat is a matter of principle,... Well, I don't know. I do know where the term "knock some sense into them" came from. Pure frustration in the face of intolerable hypocrisy.
