Ole Texas Paul has the right idea. Elect 100% Democrats, whether they are your favorite Democrats or not. The worst Democrat is better than the best republican 99.9% (approx.) of the time.
Any decent republican would have left the party by now. There used to be some when I was a kid.

I'm more worried they'll swoop in & steal ballots & machines right after-especially in blue areas of red states who won't try to prevent it-like in Texas where we have a good chance of swinging it blue.
@demgovs.org need to use their new maps regardless if Repubs back down from it b/c of that.
