There’s a lot to digest here.

The thing that struck me most though was the article mentions was the tactic of allowing voters to place their vote in any state. Voter Tourism, essentially.

As the article mentions - expect something similar from the administration.

If that happens then personally I think that’s a huge sign that the mid-terms will be compromised.

Free and fair democracy is so important. It must not be destroyed.

    I consider myself a centerist but it’s quite clear that a free and open democracy is at stake. You don’t need to want a revolution to see that it’s hugely threatened.

    I am just as disappointed in the centre Democrats lack of action as I am with Donald Trump. If not more so. Their lack of coordinated and meaningful action to protect America’s democracy is criminal.

    If free elections are compromised yet again they bare a similar amount of responsibility as the non MAGA Republicans.

      Let me guess, ‘most important election of our lifetime™’

      Or the classic ‘I agree with everything you say but this is the time’

      Or are we going with the default ‘you just want Republicans to win’

      Are you a centerist like you agree with half of GOPs policies or something else?

        No, just ideologically and traditionally.

        They don’t have any policies I’m aware of that are near the center currently, or if they do they are not getting much coverage.

        They have had some reasonable ideas in the past, in between their mess of right wing policies that pander to conservatives and nut jobs.

        This administration is nothing but a dictatorship without the name. I consider myself center. They are absolutely nowhere near it. It’s a mile down the road.

          Center of what then? Stop dancing around it and justify your claimed position, because “centrism” sounds a lot like “I support economic policies that disenfranchise minorities but I don’t like to think of myself as a bigot, I just don’t like paying taxes.”
