Stand up for democracy

Mon., Aug. 24, 2020

While people in Belarus are risking their lives to attain the democracy we were given at birth, up to 40% of American’s are flirting with authoritarianism and polls indicate their torch bearer Trump is only behind by a few percentage points. Even a ten percent margin is not enough. American voters must overwhelmingly eliminate this threat to democracy.

The same hubris, hypocrisy, hate and greed that has taken down other societies is taking hold in the United States and we need to resoundingly respond by standing against the Party of Trump and any who support it.
