I do, too. But I don't see any other way out. Everyone faces the music and it goes one of two ways, and I'm honestly not confident it'll go the good way get, unfortunately.

Everything you said is correct, and yet we still come to a different conclusion.

We're going to lose 120M+ if we do nothing. And we'll lose 120M+ if we act.

The issue is the former let's them win.

You yourself said, "if we can". You yourself said "I don't know if we can". The difference is that I've accepted we can't and we can't.

ICE won’t care about warrants. They’ll go in without them. They have Trumps blessing and that’s enough.

The voting machines will absolutely be or already have been fucked with. Using those alone is insane enough. Of course privately owned voting machines in the US will be tampered with, that’s part of the point of using them with the other part being money.

The best solution might in fact be a reboot. The only thing that will fix this is public action because it won’t shrivel and die over time. I think that’s what their citizens are hoping for while hoping their military go pick on other countries for a while, leaving them alone.

God I’m sick of their shit, I really am. Just do the right fucking thing.

The drop boxes are already curtailed in a lot of red controlled states, be they battleground or no, like GA, WI, and AZ. Some of them also have given the ability to hand electors for president to the loser of the popular vote as their state legislatures determine by the way, per 2021 voter laws that got almost zero coverage in the media.

Remember when the media told you they made it illegal to hand out water or food to voters waiting in line in GA? That same bill cancelled the supremacy of the popular vote, and media didn't tell us, it would be hard even finding the information on the enshitified search engines now I'm sure, but it will come up again in 2028 if democrats get anywhere close to winning the popular votes in battleground states.

Anyway though, they are already reduced to like 1 per county in some places, the drop boxes. Plus they are susceptible to being like seized and not counted, as the republicans have made clear to their voters to vote in person. Plus they just don't count as many as possible from blue districts, it's a numbers game.

Drop boxes will not get us out of this mess, even if they were kept safe, and not guarded by dudes with guns hassling people dropping off ballots and filming them.

Get involved more. You'll be surprised how much direct action is going on.
