Just looking at RW and pro-Russian news online out of curiosity to see what stories they're carrying and it's hard to tell where they end and right-wing talking points begin, or even which side is starting the latest pro-Russian, pro-republican, and pro-tRump propaganda.
I will not post or parrot their propaganda, nor dignify to respond to it directly. But suffice it to say Russia fears democrats more than anything else on this Earth. I get the impression that they see democrats as the only thing standing between our once beacon on the hill reputation and their desire to help republicans tear the country apart.
Keep voting and supporting democrats and democratic principles. The resistance is working!
Gives me goosebumps to be surrounded by patriots such as yourselves.

(33,416 posts)The fact that there is a need to fight to make every state a Right to Vote State should have people in an uproar.
Millions have been purged from voter rolls for anti-democratic purposes. Gerrymandering lets the party pick the voters instead of the other way around. Voter suppression -- including selective closing of polls, creation of obstacles to certain voters under the guise of voter ID, intimidation tactics, etc. -- strikes at the foundation of democracy. Electronic voting gives a fast number, but gives up any possibility of a publicly verifiable, individually secret ballot.
We don't need fake elections like Putin's.

(6,933 posts)Dictators fear America's First Amendment. The founding fathers knew the most important thing in a country is free journalism holding government's feet to the fire.
There's a reason Freedom of the Press is the 1st Amendment, and militias are the 2nd Amendment.

(4,363 posts)gave a speech which I feel relates to our countries' present predicament. I believe it was Mark Twain who said "History doesn't repeat itself but it often rhymes." Well, I'm convinced it's rhyming loud and clear.
I'm certain cheetolini and his cronies and Uncle Vlad and his cronies don't just fear us, they hate democrats because as stated in this post, we are the resistance.
Here is an excerpt from that speech:
Vive la résistance! Vive la résistance! Vive la résistance!
