Fewer people voted this time than in 2020.

Even the winner, Trump, got fewer votes.

The Democrats have lost Congress too. Hey Democrats! Get your act together or get out of the way. We needed a populist, progressive party that would fight to overthrow rule by the wealthy elite. We got you, instead.

Let's do some nice things for our brains! If this is up your alley, I highly recommend these anthologies. WWP does great work.

A quotation from Johnson, Lyndon

Unless the right to vote be secure and undenied, all other rights are insecure and subject to denial for all our citizens. The challenge to this right is a challenge to America itself. We must meet this challenge as decisively as we would meet a challenge mounted against our land from enemies abroad.

Lyndon B. Johnson (1908-1973) American politician, educator, US President (1963-69)
“Special Message to the Congress on the Right to Vote” (1965-03-15)
