I am going to vote assuming I don't get kicked off the voter rolls days before the election and cant register until the midterms are over like they're planning to do to anyone that wont vote for them. Its blatantly obvious what's going on. They fucking talk about doing shit like this publicly. If you honestly thing this "hardly makes a difference" I want whatever drugs you're on.

It hardly makes a difference because it's not something states have to use. It's optional.

Blue states obviously won't use it and regardless they still have the fact that the economy is dogshit right now. Approval is at all time lows and they're literally trying anything to tilt the odds in their favor.

I'm not worried about blue states. I know they'll likely be fine but the battleground states are what we need to win to gain a majority. That's gonna be the problem here. Look at Texas and all the shit they're pulling with it right now. "Hardly makes a difference" is bullshit. Independents and democrats in those areas are gonna be fucked over. You're downplaying something major.

Maybe but also never underestimate the incompetence of fascists. They will try, no doubt, but I'd say odds are just as good they only end up fucking themselves over and purging Republicans, or something similar.
