Greg Palast has shown in the wonderful movie vigilante Inc. that removing legitimate voters from the voting rolls cost Kamala Harris, the election. He used the governments own figures to show this, he is not the only one to be showing that voter suppression is working for Republicans. It is well past time for the Democratic Party to fight fire with fire just as they have done with Jerrymandering. The Supreme Court has said that what was once illegal, voter caging, such as takes place in Ohio is now legal. The Republicans are doing this! For some reason, some reason that I will never, never ,never understand the Democratic Party refuses to even talk about it let alone use it. It as if two prize fighters are fighting, but one has lead in his gloves and the other doesnt and the referee has said its perfectly OK to put lead in your gloves.
It is well past time for the Democratic Party to start removing Republican voters from voting rolls in the same way that Republicans in red states have been removing legitimate Democratic voters from voting rolls. The Democratic Party fought fire with fire when it came to Gerrymandering, it is time to fight fire with fire when it comes to voter suppression.
Because of the Democratic Party being so quiet about this, most people think you are talking conspiracy theory, even though the Republicans are actively removing legitimate voters from the voting rolls. If the Dems start doing this Then the republicans will start screaming about it, it will probably brake through to mainstream media and people will become aware that this is an actual thing that needs to be stopped. I dont understand why the Democratic Party with the exception of the Black Caucus is so damn quite about this.

Every time a repuke challenges dem voters, challenge back. In the last ten years, almost every single instance of voter fraud has been committed by a repuke voter.

Fighting fascism with fascism is not a viable solution.
My preferred solution is to elect enough courageous democrats who, under a new Democratic president in 2029, will kill the filibuster, expand the court, and Ram through a new Voting Rights Act that cant be obstructed (because theres no filibuster) or overturned (because of the new progressive majority on SCOTUS) so that existing voter suppression laws in red states become illegal.
