    They want to “work within the existing legal system”.

    I was 100% expecting that yet I still have an unexpected feeling. It turns out that the 100% was more like ~99.90%. I knew the situation was hopeless but I couldn’t entirely accept that. I guess I would have the same feeling if I was a passenger in a car where the driver is an idiot, the high mountain road is twisty and treacherous, and crashing through a barrier is fatal.

    The GOP SCOTUS ruling was the car smashing through and the certainty of death. At least in the car - death is probably quick. Instead - for years to go we’ll have to listen to endless, pointless, flag-waving speeches about voting, democracy, and American exceptionalism.
