I can’t believe what I read about the man who was detained in Moscow for simply writing ‘Putin is a murderer’ on his ballot. It’s astounding to think that in today’s world, a person can face repercussions for expressing their opinion, especially when it comes to a supposedly democratic process like an election. The fact that the police noticed what he wrote and took action against him is not only concerning but also goes against the very principles of free speech.
The idea that someone could be arrested for writing a political statement on their ballot raises questions about the integrity of the entire election process.… Continue reading

It is truly alarming and disheartening to see the former President of the United States, Donald Trump, continue to spout dangerous and delusional rhetoric at his recent rally in Ohio. Trump’s ominous warnings of a ‘bloodbath’ and the end of elections if he is not reelected showcase his authoritarian tendencies and lack of regard for democracy.
The fact that he would stoop to such fear-mongering tactics speaks volumes about his character and intentions. It is appalling that a candidate for the highest office in the country would make such inflammatory statements, threatening the very foundation of our democratic process.
Trump’s refusal to accept the results of the 2020 election, his repeated claims of voter fraud, and now his dire warnings about the future of elections if he is not reelected are clear signs of a man who will stop at nothing to retain power.… Continue reading
Hur’s repeated instances of claiming “I don’t recall” or “I don’t remember” during the investigation and report from last year are utterly hypocritical considering his audacity to question Biden’s memory. The sheer nerve of his actions is truly appalling. The fact that he conveniently forgot to mention Biden’s photographic memory in his report exposes his dishonesty and political agenda. Now, with Republicans demanding the release of recordings and the uncomfortable spotlight shining on their embarrassing performance, the truth is slowly coming to light.
It’s disheartening to see the lengths to which individuals like Hur will go to push their political narratives at the expense of truth and integrity.… Continue reading
It’s truly astounding to witness the lengths to which the Trump-infused Republican National Committee is willing to go in order to suppress the vote and sabotage the democratic process. Instead of focusing on policies and platforms that would actually attract voters, they are doubling down on legal challenges and stratagems to undermine the integrity of our elections. It’s a sad state of affairs when a political party prioritizes power grabs over fair and free elections.
The decision to dismantle the GOP’s mail-in voter effort is not just short-sighted, it’s a blatant disregard for the rights of voters, especially those who rely on mail-in ballots for accessibility or safety reasons.… Continue reading
When I first heard that the US Supreme Court had ruled that Trump was wrongly removed from the Colorado ballot, I couldn’t help but feel a sinking sense of disappointment. It seems as though the sacred principle of states’ rights has been discarded, and the power of individual states to make decisions for the well-being of their citizens has been undermined. The court rationalized this decision based on the enforcement of the 14th Amendment, but in doing so, they have essentially opened the floodgates for potential abuse of power.
In the context of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which disqualifies individuals who have engaged in insurrection from holding office, the implications are ominous.… Continue reading
JD Vance, a senator from Ohio, recently made headlines with his controversial statement regarding the certification of the 2020 race. He boldly claimed that he would not have certified the election until states submitted pro-Trump electors. As I read through the various opinions surrounding this statement, I found myself reflecting deeply on the implications of such a stance.
It is disheartening to witness a public figure openly admit that they would have cheated to subvert the will of the people for personal and political gain. Vance’s assertion that he would not have certified the election reveals a dangerous disregard for the democratic process and the principles upon which our nation was built.… Continue reading
Disturbing Bill Would Let Arizona Legislators Ignore Election Results
As an American citizen who values democracy, it deeply concerns me to see the proposed bill in Arizona that would grant legislators the power to ignore election results. This bill, if passed, would give the legislature absolute control over the state’s electoral college votes, effectively disenfranchising millions of citizens. It is a blatant attempt by Republicans to undermine the principles of democracy and establish a White Christian Nationalist fascist state.
First and foremost, it is important to address the misguided notion that Republicans are solely interested in maintaining power and disregarding the will of the people.… Continue reading
Just the GOP trying to legislate the death of Democracy
As I reflect on the current state of our nation’s political landscape, I can’t help but feel a deep sense of concern and frustration. It seems that the Republican Party, or GOP, is hell-bent on dismantling the very foundation of our democracy. From attempts to overturn election results to proposing laws that would undermine the power of the people, it’s clear that their actions are a dangerous threat to the principles we hold dear.
One of the most alarming incidents that comes to mind is the involvement of individuals who proudly identify as J6ers.… Continue reading
A split Wisconsin Supreme Court on Thursday refused to hear President Donald Trump’s lawsuit attempting to overturn his loss to Democrat Joe Biden in the battleground state, sidestepping a decision on the merits of the claims and instead ruling that the case must first wind its way through lower courts.
Why did the Trump administration do nothing to protect our election from this massive, widespread voter fraud that they are claiming? If what they are saying is true, wouldn’t that mean that Trump is dangerously incompetent and unqualified because he did nothing to address the threat? Voter fraud on the scale they are alleging would be one of the greatest attacks ever perpetrated on the United States, yet it happened under Trump’s watch.… Continue reading

Conservatives can’t prove that widespread voter fraud is real. The Heritage Foundation, at Trump’s insistence, already tried in 2017 and this was the result: Less than 1,100 individual cases spanning from as far back as 1982 found:

That’s THEIR report, by the way.
But hold up–there was an update to that number in march. According the Heritage foundation, that number “swelled up” to a whopping 1,285
Trump himself set up a commission to prove his claim that there was widespread voter fraud and that’s why he lost the popular vote. You remember what happened?
The commission found so few cases they disbanded without producing a single report.… Continue reading
