yes. this is one of the major weaknesses of an administration helmed by an indifferent and doddering old man and run by vicious ideologues. they are totally unresponsive to public conditions. also a sign that they are isolated from those republicans who are worried about elections
the Millers in the administration are operating on the idea that "politics" is actually irrelevant now that they control key levers of power. the show is not about getting people on board, but getting the public to feel a collapse of order. not sure how that gets them to dictatorship though.

The SAVE Act is an EXTREME POWER GRAB by Congressional Republicans who want to control our elections and LIMIT OUR RIGHT TO VOTE.

European countries are between zero and one general elections away from being ruled by their own Donald Trumps so I probably will.

Still bit alarmed by how basically fascist this attitude is. “The people want RESULTS not ELECTIONS!!!”
Is it just possible - bear with me - just possible, that it might be possible both to have democracy and fix potholes?

Yeah it’s 50k now. Have you signed yet? Even Nigel Farage agrees.

They claim they’re putting personal ambition aside and defecting to Reform to help fix the country.
To stop that pisstaking farce, they should be made to hold by-elections in their constituencies and let the voters decide if that’s ok with them. Please sign.

If there was a real remedy to stop this takeover, are we willing & able to TAKE the easiest action of all?

OUR NON POLITICAL PARTY NON LOYALIST loophole:

Register as an Independent (can't be identified by voter status)

Then, collectively decide who we "write-in" for all elections (Primaries moot)

Every 2 to 4 years you get to vote and select from candidates pre-approved by the billionaires..

Yes, for Congress & POTUS we have SELECTIONS..
not elections.

Today marks 16 years since the Supreme Court put a price tag on our democracy with the disastrous Citizens United vs. FEC decision.

The ruling fundamentally changed our campaign finance system by opening the floodgates to unlimited and undisclosed money in our elections.

Yet another failed attempt by the Trump administration to intimidate voters and undermine California's free and fair elections.

The judge was absolutely right. Neither this president nor any other may “unilaterally usurp the authority over elections.”

Trump: They have to clean up their elections in New Mexico because those elections are so corrupt, it's incredible. If they clean it up, we win by a lot but they are really corrupt elections. One of the more corrupt states in terms of that.
