Without any evidence right now that the Dominion / Smartmatic voting machines are going away, I'm having a really hard time in a debate with an old friend who is planning to sit out elections in protest. He continues to say that there is no point until 2020 is fixed.
I brought up the Youngkin win in VA, and he basically said, if Youngkin won in VA, that's who Dominion wanted to win.
How do we convince like minded people to turn out and vote when nothing has changed from 2020?
One decent argument, is what does he have to lose? It's essentially Pascal's wager.
If he's right, he wasted 45 minutes and Dominion gets their way regardless. If he's wrong, he basically gave a vote to the other side
Also, I think it's important to make them pull out all the stops for the cheat. If we don't, they win anyway (and legally because they don't need to cheat).
Yes. Doing nothing guarantees defeat.
In a life/death situation: it's better to do something, even if it's not the right thing, than to do nothing. Same applies here.
Agreed, if 80% shows up and casts a vote, they have fewer real names to fake votes from
