One of the most pernicious things that Trump has on his dictator to-do list is to muzzle and censor the media outlets that criticize him. Even the occasional criticism of Fox News angers him. He wants to turn America into a banana republic that ceaselessly praises Fearless Leader. I don’t know if Trump would be successful in his efforts to control the press, but he is sure to try. To nip all such autocratic ideas in the bud, vote for Biden in November.

Love what Jaime Harrison says about Nikki Haley—that she’s as rotten as trump! Harrison knows, as he was vice chair of the South Carolina Democratic Party. I’ve been observing Haley's policies for many years; she’s an authoritarian and is A-OK with taking away rights from women and minorities.

No, Liz Cheney. You should not run for president.

Third-party candidates only increase the risk of Donald Trump winning next year.

... her only real option is to devote her energies to making sure the next president is a Democrat and that he has a Democratic Congress to work with.
