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.
