Reich: How Repugnantans rig the system and how we beat them

They can't win with their policies or values so they cheat. Reich explains how the 2020 election is so important, because Repugs will further gerrymander their States to prevent losing for the next 10 years. The corrupt Repug Supreme Corp majority has ruled to allow this to continue. States can take this power out of legislatures by instituting independent commissions to draw voting districts, like CA and WA have. But again, fair vote counting is required to win elections to institute such laws.

Repugs also rig the system with voter ID laws, purging voters and other methods that specifically target demographics that typically vote against them, like the youth, elderly and people of color. They realize they'd lose otherwise so cheating has become their only method of retaining power.

Solution: We the people must show up in droves for the '20 election. And that is only going to happen if we have candidates like Sanders and AOC all the way down the ticket who will fight tooth and nail against this corrupt system. Just any old establishment Dem will not turn out the vote necessary to win, so we the people need to get busy and champion those progressive candidates that truly champion us. The stakes are far too high to gamble on a moderate centrist more inclined to maintain the corrupt status quo.
