Right Now

[4bonhoffer]

Right now, the Republican Party is legally removing democratic voters from the voting rules in many states with a process referred to as caging.

Right now, the Republican Party is actively in the process of gerrymandering states that they have already gerrymandered to make it even more difficult for the will of the people to be heard.

Right now the Democratic Party is ???. it appears that some in the Democratic Party are taking Gavin Newson‘s words to heart and are waking up. As disgusting as voter caging is, the Supreme Court in 2018 declared it to be legal. Gavin Newson was correct, the Democratic Party needs to wake up and start fighting fire with fire. We need to gerrymander BLUE states. Look at the state of Wisconsin to see how difficult it is to undo Republican damage after they take over a state and gerrymander it.

1. I've emailed several senators and my rep asking them to request election observation from the UN

but so far haven't even gotten back that polite "Thank you for contacting me" response.

2. TY!! I've been saying all along, this is THE #1 Fight!

No matter who wins, either side won't believe it. Something both sides have in common. Without confidence in the result, there will once again be a volatile reaction, perhaps like January 6th or worse.

Additionally, if we don't have fair voting, why fight anything else? We march for many things, but honestly, what does that matter if we never have a fair shot to change a damn thing?

Our only real weapon is our vote.

I understand marching and how it showcases our position. No Kings march was an awesome march, as was the woman's march. We're still going to treat women like a second class citizen, and we still have a twisted king, until we are able to change things. . by voting! Its like climbing our way to the front lines, and then laying down our guns.

Either way an election result is, both sides will be furious, call it rigged, and this time, act out.. exactly how?!!

I believe you get fair, transparent voting, or you get even more division, if that's even possible to imagine.

What other fight is more worthy. Why are we not marching for THIS. I'll never understand.

I hope this entire community writes the UN, bombards social media, and gets Indivisible to plan the Biggest march we've ever had, on this.

Our reps need to talk about this, talk about January 6th, talk about the division, and finally give a clear message.. not just to us, but to all Americans... THIS is where we're United, or this is where we fall.
