Fight To Vote - Do It
With all the restrictions the Republicans have put on voting around the country, one must fight to vote. You have to fight for your rights. Sad, but true. It has always been that way. We had to fight to give white non-land owners the right to vote. We had to fight to give blacks the right to vote. We had to fight to give women the right to vote. Now we have to fight to give legal citizens the ability to vote. Sometimes you have to put up with inconviences to be able to vote. Do it. If anyone is trying to stop you from voting, call the federal authorities. The Republicans will use illegal methods to form the vote so they can win. And we saw what will happen even if they lose. It's important that we have an overwhelming vote total against them. Show them the power of majority. VOTE!
You are correct. Gore beat Bush by half a million and H. Clinton got 2.9 million more votes than Trump. The Electoral College weighs those of smaller states more than the more populous. The big 7 million more votes for Biden shrank in the EC. The existence of Gerrymandering is another practice which skews the popular vote. So much for one person one vote. The Trump base is roughly 37-42% and younger voters don't like him. Of course if he wins, the election was fair/if he loses it was stolen. I've never missed a vote for anything.. duty, privilege. honor etc. In college in 1962 we had a politician come to speak to an assembly. Interesting guy, shook his hand afterward - JFK. Voted for him and have not missed a presidential elections since. So Old Man,
ReplyDeletemark me down on the side of that which is good and decent.

It will take a great president to pull us out of our cultural and financial mess. Trump (a felon) is not that man. Unfortunately, MAGA has infested our politics, and it will take a long time and popular change to rid ourselves of that thinking.
I've been waiting for another JFK to come along, but I will die before that happens.
You should write more often Sam. Your thinking and your ideas are sadly needed.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dave.
