If you are running on the Democratic ticket

16. Not at all. But if you treat politics like a battle, wherever there's a divide or weakness on one side

the other side will most certainly exploit it. So if we continue to have extremely low turnout elections we are vulnerable to having "entities" planted amongst our ranks that would try and agitate, elevate and/or increase the "volume" of very divisive, unpopular and in an ever increasing misinformed/disinformed electorate, full on deception in the descriptions of our policies. You've got to think like a repuke and be smart to avoid this. They're very good at this. Now they are being coached by a former head of the KGB, who were the best in modern history at this type of "warfare". And thats what we need to treat this as, a war. Because if we lose in November, not only will this country be over as we know it but the entire party will be destroyed. Any counter to this current regime will take decades to get established because the current established power will crush anything trying to upset it. We will be in an Orban style authoritarian regime for the at least the next 20 years or more. Its very naive to think this can't happen here. The darkness of authoritarianism has 1 foot OUT the door waiting to come in and close it IMO.
