Escape From Political Disaster

Escape From Political Disaster
What a relief! On Election Day, the American people averted a future nightmare when we rejected supporters of the former Grifter in Chief, Qanon conspiracy theorists, election deniers and those that would end women’s and civil rights and free and fair elections. I believe millions of people were able to fundamentally understand how close we were to letting insidious people sacrifice our freedoms and democracy. Thus, so many candidates running for office based on lies, disinformation and fear were denied.

Now the American people should push forward and support plans and policies to immediately lift the debt ceiling and begin taxation of the morbidly rich to properly fund our nations needs and support its citizens. We can start with strong federal regulation of corporations so we can end the terribly costly price gouging that is the main cause of inflation. We can finally end massive income and wealth inequality that causes the high violent crime rates that we see everywhere but that are even higher in red states and cities.

Across the nation, we should support candidates that stand for national protection of elections, gun safety regulations, funding for healthcare and funding for renewable and alternative energy development for climate protection. All of these policies can only be designed and implemented by strong and effective federal government regulation and are supported by the vast majority of the American people. We also need federal government standards to stop the spread of dangerous lies and disinformation on unregulated corporate social media platforms, as exemplified by the past and ongoing disasters of Facebook and Twitter. Let’s all stay involved, continue to educate and inform our fellow citizens and continue to vote for the right people to represent us in government.
