He's right. It's going to be years to figure out how much bigger Biden's win would've been if Trump hadn't cheated and the GOP hadn't helped him do it.
Seriously folks, at this point if you're into Democracy & the US Constitution then you can no longer vote Republican. Trump attacked Democracy, the Republicans helped him do it.
Voting Republican means you're a fascist. That's no longer a flippant insult, it's a statement of fact.

This exactly. I believe everyone has the right to vote whatever party they want to (whether that’s D, R or third party) but I’ve been telling all my friends and family that if they care about maintaining a democratic state in the US/keeping the true definition of freedom in this country, they better vote blue.

This is not new. The GOP has been using voter suppression for decades. The only difference this time around is we have a POTUS who says the quiet parts out loud instead of trying to hide their racism behind "rule of law" campaigns for things like voter ID requirements to combat so called voter fraud that doesn't seem to be a thing that happens.

Many of my co-workers that I've tried to talk to about this subject " don't do politics".
I tried to explain that this is no longer politics, it's fascism versus rule of law and they just double down. Or tell me both sides are the same. I've gotten this response from the majority of people.
All grown adults.
