Finally, someone in DC is actually saying the quiet part out loud. We have been sleepwalking through these threats for years, and now Bannon is literally talking about putting ICE agents at polling places. That is not a security measure, it is straight up voter intimidation. If they actually try to seize ballot boxes or stop the count, just voting harder next time is not going to fix it.

Gallego is spot on about the economy, too. The billionaire class only cares about democracy as long as the numbers on the stock market keep going up. If we have to tank the market to make them realize they cannot just nationalize our elections like some tin-pot dictatorship, then so be it. No work, no flights, no spending. Let it all sit still until they back off.

Honestly, I am tired of the hand-wringing from the rest of the Democratic party. They keep acting like the old rules still apply to people who have spent a decade proving they do not care about the law. A general strike is the only thing left that actually has teeth. I just hope people are really ready to walk out when the time comes, because we are running out of options.
