A lot of what needs to be done is making sure that the Harris win is large enough that you can't easily claim that a handful of ballots should be tossed and change the outcome. That means:

Check your voter registration — part of the Republican strategy has long been invalidating registrations so people can't vote
Volunteer — nothing in the world quite like talking to people.
Donate — money is used for everything from ads to voter turnout operations
Organize; be prepared to turn out with others in your community to actively object to any effort to ignore your votes

America has rarely treated its traitors like traitors. That's how we got in this whole mess.

It's never too late to start!

Promise?

There's a point at which you can't start. But any moment before that and it's still not too late to fuck up a traitor or two. For funsies, even!

Imagine if they dragged Prescott Bush out of his house in the middle of the night and strung him up.

We would literally be on a different. Fucking. Planet.

TIL. From Wikipedia:

Prescott Bush

In July 2007, a BBC investigation reported that Prescott Bush, father of U.S. President George H. W. Bush and grandfather of then-president George W. Bush, was to have been a "key liaison" between the 1933 Business Plotters and the newly emerged Nazi regime in Germany, although this has been disputed by Jonathan Katz as a misconception caused by a clerical research error. According to Katz, "Prescott Bush was too involved with the actual Nazis to be involved with something that was so home grown as the Business Plot."

Imagine your best defense is “I’m too much of a Nazi to be involved in petty things like a coup in the U.S. We’ll be speaking German soon enough anyway.”

Entirely. Although it's never too late to dig up his skull and start a secret society.
