So here's your real challenge: it's not about learning a new tool. It's about unlearning a reflex you didn't know you had.

You might be surprised by what happens when you stop poisoning the conversation with habits from a different era.

It’s often the ones you most suspect!

i think if you post like this without offering concrete steps people can take to prepare for and respond to interference or without any acknowledgement of the success (or lack thereof) of this strategy then you are basically engaged in voter suppression.
