re: #183 HappyWarrior

I know you know this very well Happy and your earlier comment about Bernie and the Dem platform was spot on but it’s easy to let the following facts slip into ‘givens’…

She won the popular vote
Russia interfered with our election with possible active collaboration of Americans and an American political party
First major election with gutted VRA
Voter suppression via years of state voter ID and gerrymandering bears fruit

These are not just givens. I always remind folks no matter what because they are horrifying truths that may signal what’s to come and they should embolden us to fight harder. We won yo! But it was “stolen”. We’re seeing something entirely undemocratic unfold to ensure we can’t win again.

These are the facts. We’re dealing with something illegitimate.
