Comment on Gavin Newsom blasts effort to block Trump from California ballot: 'We defeat candidates at the polls'

“we defeat candidates at the polls”

Yeah,but not at the Electoral College, which Republicans have been 10x more effective of weaponizing than Democrats.

This whole mentality of playing by the rules against a team that’s openly bragging about cheating when the stakes are this high are exactly why the Democrats have gotten their ass kicked for years against a party that’s literally less popular in every way.

  Yeah, I always take the word peacefully as a directive to overthrow the government, but I just never seem to remember to bring weapons…
