Reality is acknowledging their intent, not accepting defeat in advance. In 2016 the same people were swearing up and down that it was pragmatism to assume months in advance that Hillary would rig it and implying there was no point in even getting our hopes up about Trump.
We probably would have won two or three more states without people running around spreading that sort of thinking.
Telling people their vote doesn't matter and will be rigged regardless does not increase voter turnout. It's the same reason they called states while voters were still in line. If you people think they know the outcome they don't bother. This is why they push the "it's already fixed" narrative. You can tell the truth about their plans without accepting them as inevitable.

Or that sort of thinking made even more people wake up to the importance of voting.
