Republicans are (again) trying to overturn the public desire for progress in many areas by playing a dirty game. Lindsay Graham among others is playing fast and loose with the concept of the electoral college, this time in Nebraska.
As it becomes obvious that Kamala Harris is on a political roll on all fronts, a sign that the public endorses her as the next leader of this country, Republicans dismiss this and other signs and move forward with legal moves to change the way our political leaders are chosen, and often take away the chance for people to have their votes count in that process.
While this cannot be surprising, it cannot be dismissed. Republicans have gone above and beyond in showing their willingness to cheat using law. They continue to warrant their heinous and unjust acts by leaning on the law. This move, successful or not, is just another example.
Donald Trump is losing but we must remember that this does not mean that Kamala Harris will take the presidency or that the US political system is out of the woods. Trump has shown his willingness to overthrow and to thwart public desires for the direction that this country will go in. He knows he has a chance because he is working within a corrupt system.
To dislodge the dirt that has come to clog up American politics we must do all that we can to limit Republican control in Congress. This starts with disallowing Trump into the Whitehouse. While the presidency may or may not simply be a figurehead, it is an important figurehead.
Do not let pathetic politicians such as Lindsay Graham and many others disavow their promise to do what is right for this country. We the people must force them to do what is right for this country.
