Voters must wake up to the fact that there is a serious global threat to democracy underfoot.
Any candidate who is an election denier, who refuses to acknowledge Joe Biden as president or who won’t commit to conceding their election if they lose must not be allowed to ever be seated in government. Their goal is to destabilize our democracy – to get us to question its validity. This is exactly what Vladimir Putin wants them to do, and they are following his (and Donald Trump’s) orders. They must not be given oxygen to continue. Please vote for democracy, above all else. The peaceful transfer of power is essential.
If election deniers take over enough of our government, that will be the end of free and fair elections in the U.S. Here, we are still free to choose our own government. Don’t let that freedom be stolen from us by the lies of election deniers.
