As we approach the one year anniversary of the 2020 Insurrection we must ask ourselves this question…. Do we want to maintain our democracy? Or are we looking to find another type of government?
Throughout our country there are those that are still trying to tear down the system we have been building since the American Revolution. There are those that wish us to move away from our known way of governing and towards an authoritarian vision, A vision that will take us down the path of so many countries before us. A vision that will divide our people into classes so that each class has it’s place in life. This is the road we are headed down if we continue to turn a blind eye to changes that have been taking place.
Republicans are trying to suppress the vote, ignore the science and turn our country into a white ruled monoculture. To this day continued lawsuits, back room antics and flat-out lies are the tools the right are using to destroy our country.
Our country should be one of compassion, conciliation, acceptance and belief that we all should have the same opportunities in life. Voting rights are the key to equality. One person, one vote. That is democracy. The Electoral College is no longer a valid method of electing a leader. A national voting system must be put into place, where every person in every town has the same opportunity to cast a ballot. The same methods and formats should be used everywhere. Take the states out of the equation. Election day should be either a holiday or a weekend day, no one should be forced to miss an election. On the other hand we, as citizens, must step up and turn out the votes. We cannot sit back and watch and then complain about the outcome.
As you know i lean left. And I am imploring all of the Democrats out there to fight. Call your congressperson, all your elected representatives, help out even outside of your city, county or state. Don’t let the Republicans turn other states into embarrassments like Texas or Florida. Show your power and vote.
