The difference between Republicans suspecting Democrats of electoral rigging and Democrats suspecting Republicans of electoral rigging is pretty simple.
Democrats have mountains of observable evidence.

They refuse to protect voting machines from hackers
They refuse to investigate hacks that favored them
They throw voters off the rolls
They close polling sites
They change the rules to deliberately confuse
They disenfranchise
They are political arsonists burning down democracy.

There's little doubt that tomorrow Democratic candidates will get more votes, collectively, than Republican candidates.
The only question is whether they will get ENOUGH votes more to actually win control.
That's insane. That's broken democracy.
That's the Republican legacy.

Republicans have deliberately—deliberately—created a political environment in which any Republican victory must be viewed with suspicion.
This suspicion further erodes democracy.
Which is what they want to do.
Which is why they do it.
The brazenness is the point.

Honestly, Republicans had better hope for a blue wave as much as the rest of us.
The alternative is finding out what a majority of voters in a country raised to expect democratic representation do, when they no longer believe elections are fair.

If democracy is going to survive in America, we're going to have to make voting easy and accessible again, as broadly as possible, as a top priority.
If we do that, the result will be the elimination of the Republican party, who can't win without cheating.
Which we should want.

We need to to aggressively attack any effort of Democrats toward bipartisan unity.
Scaring Democrats away from their natural inclination to comity and norms will be our vital work.
No bipartisanship, no unity, no cooperation, with political arsonists burning down our democracy.

No return to status quo. No unity. Consequences. Hardball.
Consequences.
Consequences.
The party of the Iraq War, of torture programs, of the surveillance state, of corporate corruption, of economic abandonment, of white supremacy, has to face consequence, or else they'll learn that there is no consequence for arson.
Which is what they've learned so far.

And yes, if we are able to win these elections, our vital work will be scaring the Democratic Party—who have not been arsonists, but who have been enablers of arson—into changing their ways.
No more arson.
No more enablement.

Unity is a good thing in a healthy circumstance.
It’s not automatically good in and of itself.
Refusing unity with monstrosity doesn’t make you monsterous; in fact, the refusal is a moral duty.
