    I still argue this point.

    It’s like

    You know, this is risky and we can’t afford this risk

    but it was great

    but risk is more than anecdotes

    The odds are the odds; and those expressing concern know the odds. For god’s sake, we mandate smoke detectors, people.

    Having said, that, of course I hope this changed effort succeeds in preserving democracy so we can vote on issues we should be able to debate – whether a seditious felon can try to run the country should be a brief joke before we confirm people have rights and safety and health and well-being and other detail-ridden goals we should have been addressing in the last decade instead of this mess.
