This is the newest from the Lincoln Project. Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of democracy. Voting is the bedrock of what keeps our nation free. These are basic truths. There are people in government today who fear losing power in a democracy and so they’re trying to game the system. It’s the same old story, gerrymandering, voter suppression, long lines, etc. etc.

This is good to watch and get clarity.

If we can stay with basics and insure that voting is available we will survive as a nation.

The laws that are being contemplated and/or passed in certain areas are pernicious. If they make it difficult for even a few people in a few counties to obtain mail-in ballots, the net effect could be disastrous. Likewise, any laws that shorten voting hours or limit polling places are part of a downhill slide towards losing democracy.

This is where our attention and focus needs to be, on voting.

  1. This is my problem w/the Lincoln Project. They are either trying to get under Trump’s skin (surprisingly easy to do) or playing to the choir (the people that already know democracy is on the ballot). I have yet to see them do an issue ad or a persuasion ad. They are good at what they do but it is not going to help us win any election this year.

    • I have also wondered where these Lincoln Project creations go. I have never seen a single one on a major network or CNN or MSNBC. I have heard they ran on Washington DC cable stations while tRump was in office, and perhaps they run on whatever the local stations are viewed at MAGA-lago. But it seems like a lot of creative energy being expended for an audience of one. Just sayin’.
