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?
My only argument to this is, if they are going to cheat every election, make them work so fucking hard for it that every election is a punishment for them. The more of us that turn out to vote, the harder it is for them to cheat and get away with it. That's what happened in 2016, they greatly underestimated the number of people that would vote for trump and they all thought Hillary was going to win, because they knew the election was rigged. So even though cheating gives them the upper hand, it's no guarantee, and the only thing that could possibly stand in the way of them pulling it off, is if WE go out and vote in HUGE numbers.
