    This is the line. Let’s be honest. That’s the red line. If he actually crosses that line you should do things that the World mods will ban me for saying. But that’s it. That’s the point where any semblance of democracy is totally gone. Where even the most neoliberal Democrat has to know that voting no longer means anything. That’s the point where you have to make a choice. That would be the final Point wherein there is a line of the sand you either put on the red hat and fall in line or you play back. Some would argue we’ve already reached that point mind you, but I think that would be the last reasonable line.

      There’s been many red lines this past year. And this one isn’t even a surprise move, it’s been claimed loudly semi-continuously for five years now. Yet here we are.

      No, this is the goalpost moving.

      Anyone who didn’t see this coming was either living under a rock or mockingly dismissing everyone telling them it’s coming as Russian bots trying to take votes away from Democrats.

        Yes, this is the Red Line. We have never suspended elections in this country for any reason, not even during the Civil War. The Midterms are the LAST CHANCE for Democrats to begin to take power back from MAGA legally, and if that last opportunity is stolen, then the only option left is violence.

        Canceling elections, for any reason, is a BRIGHT RED LINE, and we must not allow our elected officials to cross that line, or allow our elected officials to look the other way. We have to let them ALL know that the Midterm election will go on as usual, and MAGA will accept the outcome, no matter what it is.

        And we have to also let them know that if MAGA cancel elections, and our Dem representatives allow it, they will BOTH suffer in the inevitable violence that will follow. Whether you actively committed treason, or just say back and let it happen, you are equally guilty.
