Trump and his supporters must not dissolve our democracy. They must be stopped at the ballot box. Please do research and evaluate the people that are running for key political spots in the states that could empower oligarchs like Donald Trump. They are dangerous and anti America and our hard fought for Constitution. 🇺🇸 A vote against them is a vote for America ..

E pluribus unum

Out of many- ONE

50 UNITED states = one country

* TRUE PATRIOTS WOULD NEVER TRY TO DIVIDE OUR COUNTRY

True Patriotic Americans work together to make our country and its citizens stronger.

Yet we have many elected/ appointed leaders in our country that are trying to divide us! Our Patriotic duty is to identify these Dividers and remove them!

It’s not only Government officials either.

We have Dividers in the media, religious denominations, schools, CEOs of major corporations, etc….

The dividers will continue to LIE, deflect, distract and create ridiculous conspiracy theories!

* If we allow these DIVIDERS to continue on, what remains of civilization will crumble!!!

I know the Democrats are not perfect but they are the party that is fighting for our Democratic way of life.

The Republicans want to “take the country back”. How far? Back to the Cave?

This November let’s stop this Downward Spiral and Vote to keep Democracy.

Complacency is our greatest enemy. Only when democracy starts to crumble do we understand how fragile it is. We need to proactively support candidates at all levels of government who are committed to preserving democracy. And - proactively discuss politics with young people so that they do not fall prey to manipulative slogans that substitute for communication these days.

Democrats either aren’t on the ballot or stand very little chance of winning in my state. But that doesn’t mean I can’t at least make my voice heard.

(It’s Arkansas in case anyone was wondering.)

Real information for us, thank you Robert! Right now, I choose to focus on knowing my enemies! This is a very helpful tool. I often overlook races in states other than the one in which I live, but I see this is in error, as well. I will take your advice to heart. - L. Kerth, State of Washington

For a European, this is incomprehensable. How can someone be a candidate, when the election result is denied, without any argument. This is the essence of the system.

When you do not accept the results of the election processes, stay out. There must be a way to arrange that, legally?

I live in Florida, so we get the Big Lie 24/7 from DeSantis, Rick Scott and Rubio. I donate to Democratic campaigns, but Republicans will probably win due to an ignorant population of people who just don't want to pay their fair share of taxes.

Hi from Paris! FVAP.gov is a great site for signing up, on-line, for Americans who are living overseas - they can still sign up to vote in their own state (the place/state of last residence). The deadlines are coming up so very quickly! Several groups here are trying to sign up all Americans who are in France to get out and vote! But we need to spread the message!! Voting from overseas is not just for the military. All votes WILL help!!

I think Mr. Reich and Michael Moore should discuss their views online in their blogs so readers can try to process why two respected opinions currently differ so greatly. In his Substack "Mike's Midterm Tsunami of Truth" Campaign" blog, Mr. Moore is uncharacteristically optimistic, and not aligned with Mr. Reich's thoughts and opinions, with whom I am in more agreement about the current situation. It would be interesting for readers to "hear" their discussion .

Violence begets violence. We are headed toward another Civil War, and it won't stop until Trump is either dead, or in prison.

Personally, I'd prefer him to be in prison...if he dies, his cult will make a martyr of him.

Very correct and lets not forget that more than 70 million people voted for Trump and despite all what happened since including his refusal to accept the 2020 results , the Jan6 insurrection and his upfront refusal to accept the 2022 elections, that number potentially could well be higher because of all the GOP candidates who now support MAGA and refuse to denounce Trump....

Thank you for your good work during these scary times. Be well.

Somehow we need to get this to college campuses. Get them registered and informed.

And as long as we have a wholly uneducated electorate, telling us about it is useless. The level of ignorance in this Country is embarrassing. Anti Intellectualism says "my ignorance is as good as your knowledge" THIS is where we are.

VOTE411.org is a great tool. The League of Women Voters (nonpartisan) site includes a copy of your ballot, candidate survey responses and links to candidate forums (debates) conducted. It also includes links to verify your voter registration, track your Vote-By-Mail ballot (Ballottrax) and other pertinent voter info for you.
