The press must get across to American citizens the crucial importance of this election and the dangers of a Trump win. They don’t need to surrender their journalistic independence to do so or be “in the tank” for Biden or anyone else.

It’s now clearer than ever that Trump, if elected, will use the federal government to go after his political rivals and critics, even deploying the military toward that end. His allies are hatching plans to invoke the Insurrection Act on day one.

    Party politics don’t work for anyone but billionaires, politicians, and military contractors.

    Grow up, stop believing in Santa Clause, and stop enabling a broken system.

      stop enabling a broken system.

      What do you mean “enabling”?

      The system is broken, I fully agree. But it exists, and sadly it isn’t going anywhere. Not voting is not going to change that, the system is just going to continue, unaffected, and will continue to affect people’s lives. Your only options, within the system, are to minimise harm or to not do that.

      The system absolutely needs to be changed. But not voting isn’t going to change it. And reducing harm isn’t somehow making that change more difficult.
