Quitting is not an option for patriots. If a fix is not possible now, Democrats should at least be made pay a price for their wins. How about ads detailing the vote cheating, illegality, and unfairness involved in the gerrymandering vote?
Some other reasons for not quitting:
The gerrymandering vote was close enough that cheating may have done it for the Democrats.
The Republicans got into the fight too late, and their early ads were a disaster (”Vote ‘no’ because it’s bad for black people.”)
Even their pitiful effort required the Democrats to drain their coffers big time to win.
