It’s a “child’s” view of democracy to say a candidate doesn’t has to do or say anything - they just have to be 1 less bad than the other guy and they are entitled to every thinking person’s vote.
I say this is a child’s view because it’s what children believe.

This is a child’s view of the world. People absolutely have a responsibility to vote for the future that seems better. That’s how democracy works.
Sticking your fingers in your ears and going nah nah nah I can’t hear you doesn’t absolve you of that basic responsibility.

They’re going to force the most vulnerable to suffer to score political points.
There are other ways to address alleged fraud that don’t involve leaving the disabled, poor and marginalized without healthcare.

It's good to use the resources at hand to fight because sometimes you win. Also, I keep thinking of the period after this man was killed and how a group of people tried to impose a new social reality. It didn't work. This too is a lesson.

One of the side effects of being one of "the oldz" is when you watch a video by a younger whippersnapper and they state that video games did not exist in 1970, you cannot help but tell them about Spacewars! and other primitive video games.

He played Butch’s sidekick Woim in 26 OUR GANG comedies and was also a Dead End Kid in William Wyler's DEAD END (1937).
He retired at 15 but continued making appearances and receiving fan mail for the rest of his life. #FilmSky

I know people believe that the Democrats are in the minority and can't do anything. I would encourage you to read about how, in fact, minority parties can be disruptive. If they want to be. You don't even have to read. You can just see how the Republicans acted during the Obama years.
