Also I was hoping on July 4 to see a piece on how the court just essentially declared the president a king, which seems ironic for the holiday. And laying out the facts. That we get this instead is chilling.

For the record: voting matters. So does turning up to school board meetings. Community board meetings. Planning and zoning board meetings. Making public comments on pending rules. Contacting public officials. Protesting. Running for office yourself.

Well yeah. The writer doesn't want people to participate in democracy this election cycle. Funny how this is when they want to discourage people en masse from exercising their political rights.
