You have left out the most important and also most likely reason which I have mentioned in my comment just above this one.
In any case, I certainly haven’t seen any positive fallout regarding election integrity from those two Democrats winning, but we will have 87,000 more IRS Agents now.
If the powers that be in the Republican leadership had raised a f***ing stink about the election fraud occuring in Gerogia instead of agreeing with the media liars that "all is well", we wouldn't have had needed to have runoff elections because the two Republican senator candidates would have won right off the bat.
The problem is our side not taking the issue of election fraud seriously. *THAT* is the real problem, and if the election of two Democrat Senators in a heavily Republican state would not wake up the party leadership to that fact, it's difficult to say what will.
You are pointing the finger of blame in the wrong direction. Voters can be understood for not wanting to participate in a clearly fraudulent election process. The people who are to blame are the Republican officials who did not do a d@mn thing to *STOP ELECTION FRAUD!*
“{The people who are to blame are the Republican officials who did not do a d@mn thing to *STOP ELECTION FRAUD!*”
So we make it EASIER for the Democrats to win by not voting?
All I see from that strategy is 87,000 new IRS agents, and very nearly getting packed courts, HB1 (end of anything close to fair elections), and God knows what else by ending the filibuster.
So, again, our strategy to ‘punish’ the GOP is to let Democrats win (by not voting), with the above results.
How does that help us? What are we missing here?
By the way, even with the fraud, we did pick up seats in the House in 2020 and nearly took control - and that was ONLY because Republicans voted, despite your advice.
