OPINION — To vote is the greatest privilege and responsibility that goes with living in a democracy.
I am perplexed by the fact that many Americans will sit on their hands in the face of the greatest threat to our democracy: President Trump’s willingness to break rules to hold power.
Your vote is your voice to elect representation that will work on your behalf. Consider the stagnation in the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate. Mike Johnson and John Thume are Trump/MAGA loyalists who have discouraged working across the aisle and have chosen to stalemate both bodies in order to allow Trump to govern outside constitutional law.
