I
was noticing that the voting lines in many places, Georgia for example, are too
long, too few and are not helpful for those who are infirmed, or those who are
concerned about being exposed to the coronavirus. So what is wrong with using
mail- in-ballots? People can stay at home and simply mail them in to be
counted. There is a paper trail. Utah has been using this method for over 150
years. People in the military have used mail in ballots for years. I have used
absente ballots. It is truly a simple and stupid solution to the need to
simplify our access to voting, so why any pushback at all?
It
has become an issue because the current abuse
of power occupant of the Oval Office has asserted that there is too much
voter fraud and using voting by mail will make too much fraud, into
overwhelming fraud, when the fact is that there is virtually no voting fraud in
the United States at all.
In
fact, what Trump and the Republican’s are saying is that IF there isn’t someway to stop the Democrats from voting, the party
of Trump and the Senate majority, what I refer to as the abusers of power will lose. As a result the Trump and Moscow
Mitch club are trying, in everyway to reduce the democrats access to voting
options; fewer voting precincts, proof of citizenship, you name it, they will
do it, just to stop people from voting, just to make sure that the democratic
majority will not will win the 2020 Presidency and Senate.
Trump
has asserted that to make sure that no one can cast a mail in ballot, he is
going to close down all post offices.
The United States Postal Service will be put out of existence. Along
with those closures, 100,000 veterans, who after their military service, have
served their country through the post office, will lose their jobs. Thank you
for your service.
Why
do I refer to the current occupant of the Oval Office as I do? His assertion
and belief that he knows more than the generals comes to mind. His opening the
doors to people being even more exposed to the coronavirus by ‘returning America’ to the way it was
before the coronavirus pandemic, comes to mind. Behaving like this, when we
continue to be ignorant about the intricacies of this virus and its spread
comes to mind. And Trump has never believed that the Pandemic was ever real in
the first place. In his delusional world, ‘it will simply disappear.
Oh,
by the way, his reason for returning America back to the way it was before the
coronavirus Pandemic is to bring back the economy to the place it was before the
Pandemic. His ‘reasoning’ is that if people stay home, the economy continues to
tank and so do his chances of being reelected. If he throws citizens back to
work, the economy might return to its former humming ways and HE might be reelected to a second term.
What he fails to care about is, at what cost?
More people contracting the virus, more people dying, and, for what, his
slight chance of winning his reelection. What little compassion for other
members of the human family, what disregard for the lives and families of the
United States, what a blatant display of his ‘me V.S. we’ approach to
‘leadership.’
Do
you remember what he said about Hillary’s winning the popular vote by three
million votes. It was those ‘illegal’ California immigrants that were responsible
for that winning majority. What is his continual lying all about? Who in their right mind would believe
anything this guy might say?
And, then there are any number of ‘tweets’
that reveal his ‘reasoning,’ ‘thought process,’ and, again his ‘lies.’ For the
75 year old man who was pushed by the police, he tweeted ‘Buffalo Protester
shoved by Police could be an ANTIFA provocateur. 75 year old Martin Gugino was
pushed away after appearing to scan police communications in order to block out
the equipment. @oann I watched, he fell harder than was pushed. Was aiming
scanner. Could be a set up.’ Again, mindless abuse of power, asserting facts
that have no basis in reality…
We
are better than this. We deserve more
than this. We can see through the mindlessness
and the stupid and see the
truth. Someday, we shall over come this
freak show. In the meantime, we need to keep the faith. Namaste
