We are not voting for a candidate this term. We are voting for democracy. We are voting for the principles we say nearly 80% of Americans support, but 45% of us vote against.
Why? Because we are voting for the candidate. This has to stop.
In every election, vote for the party that will not destroy our democracy. Vote for the party that will not destroy public education. Vote for the party that does not actively pass laws that harm women and children. Vote for the party that will not ignore the Supreme Court ruling that makes a president king, but fight to overturn that ruling.
We are closer than ever to joining all the other countries that have lost their democracy. It will never go back to the way it was, if ever. Project 2025 will flourish under a Republican presidency. And that will be the end of us. And I’m mad as hell about it. We should all be mad as hell about it. And we can stop it.
So let’s stop this.
I implore all Democratic candidates to stop apologizing for being the good guys. Don’t talk about yourself, talk about the Democratic principles of being the party that ensures Americans are healthy, educated, and live in a clean world. That’s the only way to get Utahns to vote for democracy.
