Voting as a solution is at best a reach, agreed. But if we do not vote, the only other solution(s) is violence or violent. We need to vote, and we need to win at this point by 5% or better to win the count. This holds true until we have enough "honest" (relatively honest - we are talking about politicians) counters. Look at FL - that has been razor thin margins for quite a while, then it finally got turned around!
We did get screwed in 2020 but that was because of the rules changes and the courts.....Covid rules...that they are not changing back.

I never had any inclination to be a politician of any sort. Even when I was a state prison corrections officer, I never cared to be a supervisor during my career of 21 years between 1982 and 2003.
A curious sergeant asked me about that during the late Nineties. I asked him if he remembered Sgt. Dennis Brown, who died of a heart attack and was my same age at the time.
