@BlueWall Yes! If you're someone who is planning to move, consider a swing state!

I don't think that today's GOP is going to gain its sanity as @ThomHartmann wishes toward the end of today's article. I think that today's GOP needs to cease to exist by being thoroughly voted out with no hope of return. In its place, a new, traditionally conservative party must replace the MAGA extremism. That new conservative party (think in the Eisenhower mold) would work collaboratively with the Democrats and Independents for the good of the country as a whole and for democracy.

jennyzilliac - The way we vote out billionaire mega-power brokers is to stop using their platforms.

Thanks to the Fediverse, we have democratic alternatives to billionaire dictators.

I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but many of us are continuing to use sites like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. I'm struggling to get off a couple of them myself, so I'm not judging anyone. Let's support each other in making the hard but important efforts to strengthen democracy in the US and around the world.

Democracy is in peril, and only the electorate can either strengthen it or destroy it. If the latter happens, it's very likely that nobody alive today will see it return. hartmannreport.com/p/revealed-

This video presents a good idea.

Another approach that can be used in tandem. WILLING AND ABLE blue voters can move to swing states.

Are you already considering or planning a move?

Are you a recent college grad looking for a new job?

Are you a recent retiree looking for new horizons?

Consider

Politics is basic MATH.

Whoever has the most votes WINS.

The will not disappear anytime soon, so whoever controls the swing states wins the elections.

According to Inside Elections, the swing states are:


WILLING AND ABLE Democratic voters should consider moving to a purple state to help save American democracy.

SCOTUS has been out of control for decades. Congress has the power to stop this madness as granted to them by the Constitution. @ThomHartmann lays out a solid case for how this could happen. One more way in which the 2024 election is critical to our future.
