I know. You're saying the result was the product of a conspiracy. That the Democrats were clever enough to pull off a nationwide fraud to steal an election. Don't you think it's far more likely that both parties are just inept? This is what LO2E buys us. Lesser. And lesser.
"Optics" means you don't have anything, other than a hunch and your desperate desire to deny the results of the election. Exactly the same kind of nothingburger that Democrats clung to for four years.
Here's a thought - rather than embarrass ourselves with denial and fantasy, how about we focus on building real consensus, offering platforms that most people can support, policies that don't offend half the nation, and leaders who will inspire us, instead of just "owning" the other side?
