Be careful saying 2020 will be unfair

You have the potential of suppressing voters. Will Russia meddle? Yeah. Will there be disinformation? Yeah. If we turn out, will we win? Yes! 2018 is an example. 2019 was an example.. I feel like some are already sitting up a narrative for a defeat. We learned our lesson in 2016. We turnout, in spite of, Russian bots, voter suppression attempts and social media disinformation.... We got this.

faith in our voting system and I'm not quite ready for that yet. PLUS, we are going to have massive turnout.
NOW, we just need to vote for the person who has the broadest appeal across the swing states (and I say beyond) and who can win by the largest margin.
