Proof that every vote NOT CAST matters. 280 votes demanded a recount. One sloppy county and she loses. If you didn't vote in that election, you could very well have tipped the scales to a Republican AG who would work diligently to curtail your rights. YOUR VOTE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOUR RETICENCE.

Steven Beschloss @StevenBeschloss

Think your vote doesn’t matter? AZ AG Kris Mayes, who just announced the indictment of fake electors and the WH advisors (including the despicable Rudy Guiliani), won by 280 votes. There’d be no indictment or investigation if Democrat Mayes lost.

This thread has some good suggestions on what to focus on instead of this trial to persuade people to stay hopeful and vote Democratic

LilTaiz @LilTaiz

The wall-to-wall coverage of the NY trial is so mesmerizing that it can reinforce common (MSM) wisdom that we MUST have a conviction before the election or all will be lost. That perspective has been provoking lots of teeth gnashing.

Myron Clifton @PresidentKamalasHand

Because if we lose this imperfect thing we have, it's never coming back. There's no foreign nation coming to the rescue. In fact, it'll be the opposite w/the greatest pile on imagined.

We are it. We are our own saviors.

And we do that by voting BLUE in overwhelming numbers/End.
