There’s a lot to digest here.
The thing that struck me most though was the article mentions was the tactic of allowing voters to place their vote in any state. Voter Tourism, essentially.
As the article mentions - expect something similar from the administration.
If that happens then personally I think that’s a huge sign that the mid-terms will be compromised.
Free and fair democracy is so important. It must not be destroyed.
On the plus side the growing number of people openly refusing to support the blue shade of MAGA might start to create progress. Many now see the party can not be reformed.
So when arrogant liberals filled with hubris ask how’s that revolution going I point to this and say it seems to be going fine.
I consider myself a centerist but it’s quite clear that a free and open democracy is at stake. You don’t need to want a revolution to see that it’s hugely threatened.
I am just as disappointed in the centre Democrats lack of action as I am with Donald Trump. If not more so. Their lack of coordinated and meaningful action to protect America’s democracy is criminal.
If free elections are compromised yet again they bare a similar amount of responsibility as the non MAGA Republicans.
Are you a centerist like you agree with half of GOPs policies or something else?
No, just ideologically and traditionally.
They don’t have any policies I’m aware of that are near the center currently, or if they do they are not getting much coverage.
They have had some reasonable ideas in the past, in between their mess of right wing policies that pander to conservatives and nut jobs.
This administration is nothing but a dictatorship without the name. I consider myself center. They are absolutely nowhere near it. It’s a mile down the road.
Center of what then? Stop dancing around it and justify your claimed position, because “centrism” sounds a lot like “I support economic policies that disenfranchise minorities but I don’t like to think of myself as a bigot, I just don’t like paying taxes.”
Why are you so angry at me? I’m just here for a sensible discussion man.
Center as in combining a capitalist free market economy with the social responsibility a government should have when looking after the welfare of it’s citizens and regulating businesses practices in a safe but not overbearing way.
I see myself as a centerist in the traditional way. I don’t believe there really is a “left” much in America. What is considered left wing in America would be classed as virtually center left or centerist anywhere in Europe, for instance. Even progressives in the US would be practically left of center elsewhere. There is no traditional left wing as it’s vilified.
I think minorities and migrants are beneficial to a country both economically and culturally. I do not oppose them in any way, nor support their disenfranchisement in any way. Nor have I said anything of the sort that would suggest I do.
If you’re still offended then you need to calm down.
Let me guess, ‘most important election of our lifetime™’
Or the classic ‘I agree with everything you say but this is the time’
Or are we going with the default ‘you just want Republicans to win’
Sorry? I don’t follow.
I wouldn’t say any of those things.
