The Justice Department says Virginia is illegally striking voters off of voter rolls. This news brings to light a disturbing trend in American politics – the blatant attempts by certain individuals to undermine the very foundation of democracy. The lawsuit filed against Virginia election officials for removing names from voter rolls in violation of federal election law is a clear example of the lengths some will go to in order to manipulate the electoral process for their own gain.
It is disheartening to see such blatant disregard for the fundamental principles of democracy, where every citizen should have the right to participate in the electoral process without fear of being disenfranchised.… Continue reading
The upcoming election certification process seems to be a point of contention and concern for many, including myself. The uncertainty surrounding whether Speaker Johnson will certify the election is a cause for alarm, especially given the current political climate and the looming threat of election fraud. Liz Cheney’s lack of faith in Speaker Johnson to uphold the election results resonates with the growing apprehension that many of us share.
The possibility of the Republican party rejecting the election results and attempting to seize power is a terrifying prospect. With the likelihood of a civil war with these individuals looming, the need for preparation and decisive action by the Democrats is more critical than ever.… Continue reading
The Supreme Court, a beacon of justice and the final arbiter of the law in the United States, is teetering on the edge of irrelevance and corruption. The very institution that we are supposed to trust to uphold the principles of democracy and the rule of law is being severely compromised by right-wing justices who may seek to intervene in the upcoming election. It’s a chilling thought to consider that the highest court in the land, the ultimate arbiter of justice, may be used as a pawn in a political game to subvert the will of the voters.
In recent years, the Supreme Court has made decisions that raise serious questions about its integrity and impartiality.… Continue reading
Cards Against Humanity offers payouts to new swing-state voters, responding to Musk’s PAC has sparked quite the conversation and controversy in the political realm. As a company known for its sarcastic and irreverent humor, they have taken a bold step in the political arena by incentivizing eligible voters to register and vote, especially in crucial swing states. The offer of $47 to new swing-state voters who register through the America PAC website with Cards Against Humanity as their referrer is not only attention-grabbing but also raises important questions about the intersection of money and politics.
While some may see this move as a clever and humorous way to encourage voter participation, others are quick to label it as bribery and election tampering.… Continue reading
Driving through the small red town in Michigan where I have lived for the past 20 years, I have noticed something different this election cycle – Kamala Harris signs. In all my time living here, I have never seen signs for Kerry, Obama, Clinton, or Biden. My wife and I have made the decision to vote for Harris, but we are hesitant to put signs in our yard out of fear of potential backlash from our neighbors. It’s a sad state of affairs when political discourse has reached a point where displaying support for a candidate can lead to being targeted maliciously by those who disagree.… Continue reading
Mike Johnson’s recent statement about the 2020 election being a ‘gotcha’ question is not only absurd but insulting to the intelligence of the American people. The fact that it is so difficult for some politicians to answer a simple question about who won the last presidential election speaks volumes about the current state of politics in this country.
As an individual who believes in the importance of truth and accountability, it is disheartening to see elected officials like Mike Johnson avoiding a straightforward answer to a basic question. The idea that acknowledging reality and facts could harm a political career is a dangerous precedent that undermines the very foundation of democracy.… Continue reading
I find it incredibly disheartening to see the extent to which misinformation has permeated our society, particularly with regards to elections. Sen. Mark Kelly’s call for the federal government to do a better job of informing Americans about the substantial amount of misinformation circulating on social media platforms is not only timely but also crucial in maintaining the integrity of our democratic process. The fact that a significant portion of the population is impervious to facts, choosing instead to believe in baseless conspiracy theories and propaganda, is a direct threat to the foundation of our society.
The rise of disinformation campaigns orchestrated by foreign entities such as Russia, Iran, and China is a clear indication of the sophisticated psychological operations that are at play in shaping public opinion.… Continue reading
I cannot help but revel in the justice served to Tina Peters, the Trump election conspiracist who was sentenced to 9 years in prison by a Colorado judge. The immediate custody and rejection of her lawyer’s request for freedom speaks volumes about the severity of her crimes. Watching her complain and cry about her perceived injustices during sentencing only further solidified her lack of remorse and defiance. The scathing remarks by Judge Matthew Barrett calling her a charlatan who peddles snake oil hit the nail on the head. Peters truly believed she was above the law, and it is refreshing to see consequences finally catching up to her.… Continue reading
I can’t wrap my head around the audacity and delusion of some individuals when it comes to denying reality and perpetuating lies. The recent statements made by Vance claiming that Trump won the 2020 election, followed by his refusal to concede or provide any substantial evidence, are not only disturbing but also a blatant attack on democracy. It is disheartening to see someone double down on a lie that has been debunked multiple times, not just in court but also through various investigations.
The fact that Vance chose to align himself so closely with Trump and his baseless claims raises serious concerns about his integrity and commitment to upholding the principles of truth and justice.… Continue reading
It’s mind-boggling to think that we are even having a debate about whether a sitting president is entitled to immunity for blatantly trying to subvert the democratic process. Overturning an election, a hush money fraud, sexual assault, or any other criminal activity are certainly not part of the presidential duties we were all taught in civics class. It seems pretty cut and dry that the duties of the President do not include attempting to overthrow the government that they were elected to lead.
This recent revelation by Special Counsel Jack Smith, highlighting Trump’s private criminal effort to overturn the 2020 election results, underscores the importance of holding our elected leaders accountable for their actions.… Continue reading
