Help me out in the Trump thread... am trying to say the same, since people are acting like it’s the end of the world.

So, uh, the election just got a lot more dire. Vote Biden or condemn the US to conservative rule for the next ~40 years.
rush the nomination immediately after the election as courts issue injuctions for/against counting mail-in ballots, leading to a 5-4 opinion declaring Trump the victor

- Christopher HitchensPopulists (and "national socialists") look at the supposedly secret deals that run the world "behind the scenes". Child's play. Except that childishness is sinister in adults.
They don't need two months, they have until January. If they do attempt fill the seat, and I don't anyone would put it past them, I don't think theyll do it until after Nov 3rd unless it invigorates Republicans...which it probably will. We know how united Republican voters got last time they were within arms reach of a seat and there's no honor among the Republican Senators not grab at the seat on their way out.
Hitting them with "what about letting the voters choose" will be met with, "the voters voted for US to do this job and our terms aren't over yet."
But it's not the time to panic, to cry, to fall apart, to throw in the towel. It's time be smart, attentive, participate, and vote.
The GOP wants, needs the left to assume defeat right now, that way they can steamroll whoever and however they want they want. Maybe went some down ballots while they are at it. The vote is more powerful than ever right now though.
They can do their song and dance, they can steal the seat, but not without consequences. If they do it it's up to voter to make sure those Senators will not have a seat come January 31st. That when future officials are face with certain situations that it's going end with their party being defeated in the elections.
The suck is over. This possibility of this happening was known 4 years ago, we've had time to prepare for it.
