...and do their best to get Biden elected.
The last thing those of us, like myself, who are deeply disgusted with how the "justice" system has been coddling Trump and willfully playing along with his delay tactics, need is a lecture from the perky never-give-up squad, especially since strong reactions of disgust ARE NOT the same thing as giving up on everything.
For the most part, "I give up!" generally means "I give up on hoping for better from this system", NOT "I give up on resisting Trump in any way, shape, or form."
For those so inclined, please keep your pep talks and tut-tutting and your examples of brave perseverance to yourselves. They aren't needed or wanted.

Courts have repeatedly failed but the ballot box has succeeded. They're the only power we have, which we can influence.
There are many ways we can help, even out of state.
