It is such a slap to our democracy and that our voting ability can be hindered by one political party in a “red” or “blue” state. All legal citizens of the U.S. should be allowed to vote in any election as easily as possible. We certainly do not want to become a country that hinders or intimidates voters just because a political party or it’s “leader” is acting like a sore loser.
I’m so disappointed in the way the political “actors” are supporting the lies and promoting the injustice of the one who lost. We teach our children that they need to be gracious losers, that anyone can be bested in a challenge, whether in sports or on the playground, and as adults we need to remember those lessons. Our Democratic country does not want to become an authoritarian or dictatorship led country. Holding one person up as the “be all, end all” could give that person the power to do just that, and stripping away citizens’ rights means we are very nearly headed that way.
One party rules, and we have no power or say left.
Our founding fathers set up our government to stop that. They were pretty careful to make our constitution one with checks and balances to protect that from happening. If we stomp on our constitution, then we are only hurting ourselves and our country’s future of democracy.
It’s such a shame! I saw this coming two years before the 2020 election. I heard the claims of losing even 6 months before the election. Those claims grew bigger and bigger and took hold after the loss of that candidate, even though members of the same party won in their respective states, and he didn’t. People- we need to be careful what information we swallow. We need to hear all sides, all views, and then make an “educated” decision on where the truth most likely lies. One or two “news” stations saying one thing versus 10 reporting something else, might mean that one station isn’t “reporting” honestly. We need to carefully listen for opinion vs. facts.
I was watching one “news” station the other day to see what was being said, and at the end of their hour long segment, they played, for one whole minute (when we’d normally see different advertisements) a musical video showing the former President waving and images of him from when he was president. Then the “reporter” came back on and ended her program.
I knew right then, well, actually I knew during her “opinion comments” during her interviews, she was only supporting the former President.
That was NOT a news program as touted. It was an hour-long advertisement for the former President.
Be careful what you watch, people!
Flip that channel to see what others are saying or reporting and know the difference between opinion shows and news programs.
If the shows have one person’s name on them, then they are most likely an opinion program. If the show has the word News in it’s title, hopefully, it is a informative news program without opinions blended in.
Thank you for this.
