Posts of mine, usually political in nature. Half for my own sake to keep track, half for the musings of others.

This sub is a bit more editorially-driven where I feel more free to speak my mind, and often pertains to topical content within current-events. I try my best to put forth sound arguments with citations, but this sub will project activism more so than my other sub.

/c/cgtcivics (Citizen's Guide to Civics) has a more broader-minded goal of curating information to newcomers and oldies alike to civics, politics, and news that is objective and timeless. To foster critical-thinking skills and know how to digest the enormous amount of information from news sources, social media, and discussions. To create a stable foundation rather than a house of cards whereby you view the world around you.

Given this war in Ukraine, it cannot be emphasized enough how important it is that Republicans are not handed the keys to the White House, or Congress.

After all, see such sentiment commonly-expressed among Republicans at Trump rallies...

I'll further will explain why this is relevant on the world stage and Ukraine:

Donate, and please plan to REGISTER and VOTE for the CRUCIAL election in the US that are right around the corner. Google your state's Voter registration procedure.

Not voting, voting Republican, or 3rd-party is effectively supporting and advancing Putin's goals. (I want new parties too but our system penalizes 3rd parties as it stands). Every Democrat should be railing Republicans, particularly Trump, over this nonstop. And despite them rapidly going into damage-control, remind them that Democrats were, once again, ahead of the curve on this issue in telling them so.

When I previously posted this, I received some very strange pro-Russian/Trump replies, trying to deflect attention to the fact that Trump seriously weighed attempting to withdraw from NATO.

Why does this matter? Because this is an event that won't end any time soon. I'm giving concrete steps of what the average American can do for Ukrainian citizens in the long-run, which is to ensure the strongest opposition to Russia remains out of the hands of...Russia. It's time to ensure that Pro-Russian, potentially-compromised individuals never get into the White House again.
