    Yuppers. We are heading down the path that only ends one way. Something something boiling a frog…

    OF course, they rigged the 2024 election process with a fucking minor update. I wish the NSA would reveal what they know.

    Basically every Democrat lawmaker is entirely spineless so they’ll probably get away with whatever they want.

    It really doesn’t matter if they succeed or not.

    The Republicans are no longer even bothering to pretend to be at all interested in fair and free elections. They’ve signaled clearly that they will do anything to take and hold power, and honesty, integrity and democratic principles count for nothing at all. So if they don’t succeed this time, they’ll just cheat harder next time.

    This isn’t some shadowy conspiracy theory - they’re doing it openly and publicly.

    Fair and free elections in the US aren’t under threat - they’re already dead. And that’s not hyperbole - it’s the explicit, official position of the Republican party.

    The only direction from here is down.

    After the GOP used voter suppression, lawsuits & voting machine sabotage to successfully rig the 2024 election - there will never be another free & fair election in the United States ever again. Until Americans are willing to use their 2A privilege to stand up to this dictatorship it’s only downhill from here.

    Yes, they already did it. That’s why we have to outnumber the votes. They’re cheating, for sure.

    DeSantis’ congressional map helped the GOP keep the House. Will he do it again?

    What also is troubling is, they don’t seem to care that they’re losing some of their base. They’re telling us they’re going to cheat. If mail in voting becomes illegal, the fascists have 100% won.

    They only succeed because Democrats allow them. We allow them.

    There are elections going on right now. If you are a democracy loving citizen, volunteer as a poll officer. We need them now more than ever.

      If you’re in a red state; blue no matter who might be the vest course. If your in a blue state try and go to primary and vote progressive, do a progressive 3rd party if you have to. We know more about 3rd party voters than non voters.

      Voting does matter and its only one part in building out our progressive movement.
