Except I don’t think it will fail given I think they see they’re doomed without it, given they have said out loud they’ll lose if they don’t get it done for certain. Mike Lee said the quiet part out loud, I expect them to nuke the filibuster to do it before November at this rate on the SAVE Act.

Trump’s also at his likely lowest today (41.2), but it’s March, so who knows what’s coming and so far at Dems highest of cycle poll the lead is still under 6 points which is worse than even 2020’s average let alone 2018’s even now at this high for the party off of hatred of him alone (but it’s increased alright, now range is 4-5.8).

Re the SC's skepticism on mail-in "grace periods", there are fair arguments on both sides of that issue. In my view, such periods should be very short, if at all. I don't know how many days, but not many. Elections do have to be decided, and sooner is better.

We won’t have a country left IF it’s side balled in. This could be the only leverage Republicans have left to Save fave and say they were the White Knights who rode in on the horse to save this from the Mad King?

Whatever. But it’s honestly too close to an election to really do and White fuck would listen to it anyway?

Which is why they’ll do it at all costs, still over 7 months to go too…it’s not that close yet, unfortunately, I’ve been preparing for the worst case outcome for a reason all this time.

Yep. That’s a fact, and 7 months to counter. If you go to No Kings then talk to everybody bcz a lot shouldn’t be your neighbors ( in the zip code) and make sure to discuss being at the polling place on Nov 3 in force. If your in a ‘Non Threat ( Low Latino voters) then find the nearest High Latino Polling location and show up there to prevent possible bsllot theft by Trump goons in mass, Box them in or preferably out.

This time is the one time it’s literally illegal / Unconstitutional for Federal interference ( if they try it) and they will if High Latino, ethnicities.

That’s important. Just look at the Sheriff in California running for Governor who went and collected some 650k ballot boxes. Illegally.

This is the make or break moment and if they thwart us then it gets much much worse. 3/28 talk and let everybody know the plan for Nov 3 voting day. It’s sink or swim or Authoritarian vs Democracy. That no shit straight up. They think we’re punks and sheep who won’t defend shit. We gotta prove that wrong.

You know your area and you can look up your ‘At Risk’ district if you’re not in one.

I am going to print out flyers of what I just explained to you and pass them out at my location Saturday and maybe there will be a speaker there who can announce this.

Fight like hell! & Stand United !

I agree with Ben’s analysis of the danger incoming, but I just don’t think, when a Republican literally outs their gameplan in public or says “Failure is not an option” that they’re going to drop the SAVE Act period now. I think it’s the opposite, in fact, they would not divulge that in public IF they weren’t on heightened alert they have to rig the game ASAP to change their fortunes in the next a little over half a year.

Trump is not the only one determined to get it done, period, anymore. Unfortunately for us, they have 7 months, because IF the election were today say absolutely goodbye to the House, goodbye to the majority of state/local legi seats, barely hanging on to the Senate, and barely to the Gubernatorial chamber for Republicans.

Trump and company are going to make this WAY closer than it is now by November, confident in that, they would’ve never let that leak if they weren’t that determined now to get it done above all else period. Trump has said push into Easter if you have to get it done, in fact, and end the filibuster…this is something he will not drop until it’s done, mmw.
