The Rise of Extremism in Politics: How It’s Impacting Our Right to Vote Freely - eviltoast
In a democratic society, one of the fundamental rights of citizenship is the ability to vote freely for the candidate of our choice.

Many may feel they have no genuine choice but to support a candidate they don’t fully believe in, fearing that backing the other choice will cost them socially or professionally. The result is an erosion of one of democracy’s core values: the free and open right to choose.

    Congress does that. In fact, House Republicans passed a bill to prevent Biden from stopping certain arms shipments to Israel. It didn’t get to the floor of the Democratic majority Senate, though.

    I’ll give you a pass for not understanding US politics, since you certainly don’t live here.

      The Republicans made Biden take offense to being called a Palestinian by Trump and then equate Palestine to Hamas, and constantly saying we will always support Israel, and proudly proclaiming he’s a Zionist? Yeah, maybe you should stop acting like this is merely a Congress issue when anyone with ears and eyes can see through your gaslighting.
