@ricardoharvin@mstdn.social @dragonfrog@mastodon.sdf.org We had exactly this discourse after 2016.

"Clinton received 3 million more votes than Trump, and lost the electoral college 0.23% in Michigan, 0.77% in Wisconsin, and 0.72% in Pennsylvania. Jill Stein pulled away more votes than that in each of these three states. The Comey letter has cost Clinton around 1% in the polls … voter suppression and the Russian troll farms … Take any one of these four factors away and Clinton likely would have won."

@ricardoharvin@mstdn.social @dragonfrog@mastodon.sdf.org The best way to counter all of that is to get more people to vote. All other paths lead to violence and much less certain outcomes. That is why I always push back on the "voting don't matter" narrative. It will always matter, it will always be worth fighting for the right to vote.
