And yet it’s not.
From Paul Waldman’s column in the Washington Post…
”Organizing, organizing, organizing. This is where we finally arrive, the only real chance Democrats have at winning the war for democracy. It doesn’t involve stopping voter suppression but overcoming it, by working so hard and getting so many people registered and to the polls that even with the suppression measures in place, Democrats can still manage to win (after which they can use the power they gain to roll back those suppression measures).
It’s the equivalent of running a 100-meter dash where you have to leap hurdles along the way but your opponent doesn’t. Can you win despite that disadvantage? If you’re good enough, maybe.
But it’s difficult, it’s labor-intensive, it takes effort extended for years, and Republicans are making it even harder. It’s more than waiting for your brilliant lawyers to win a case, or getting a billionaire to dump money into some TV ads the week before the election.”
