Not making it easier for people to vote. Politicians polarizing the citizens. Misinformation. The internet.

Keep politicians accountable. It’s our right – appreciate it! One vote can make a difference.

The greatest challenge to our democracy is our future to participate in voting; respect the right of others to vote without interference. Politicians and community leaders are failing to listen to the concerns of community members.

Ensuring the intentions of politicians are good. Many politicians aim for goals like furthering their own ideologies, even if it does not benefit our community as a whole.

People who question the integrity of election results. Corrupt political figures who question the integrity of election results and spread misinformation.

1) Voter suppression including district gerrymandering
2) Funding for candidates often seems to make them beholden to special interest groups
3) Purposeful misinformation regarding legitimacy of elections.
4) Lack of faith in the democratic process.

Agendized by shallow and simple-minded citizens and politicians, as well as public education.

The Republican Party today is democracy’s main challenge. Donald Trump is so much more than unlikable. He is dangerous to our democracy and us. He foments hatred between citizens and violence against those who express a differing opinion than his and MAGA followers. The inability to speak freely without fear is the the first amendment. First. And this MAGA movement is much more than a ‘challenge’ to our democracy. It is Everest. But we must remain steadfast and take action to reach the peak. This party, as it is today, and this man must be stopped. He is not a god and he will be defeated if we speak out, encourage others to speak out, and vote, vote,vote.
