While the 2024 election is still over a year away, now is the time that we need to discuss what’s coming. The candidates are starting to throw their hats in the ring, and we're seeing some all-too-familiar faces. What we are looking at is a possible rematch between the last two major party nominees who also just so happen to, coincidentally, in a completely serendipitous situation, be the previous and current president. How does picking the leader of the "free world" keep coming down to the lesser of two evils game? Has it always been this way, and we're just now catching on and calling it out? Trump spent his oval office exit and the ensuing months swearing the 2020 election had been stolen from him. He tweeted, "Stop the vote,” when he lost and accused every state that he didn’t win of voter fraud. His hypocritically false claims have been backed up by Fox News and their recently canned top host, Tucker Carlson. And now we have Ted Cruz admitting he echoed the lies as well. The scariest part of it all is that it does feel like parts of the democratic process are rigged. I don't necessarily believe that the winner is predetermined and that the entire election is fixed; I don't believe there's a nefarious hand playing puppet master like the cabal. I do believe we’ve been set up for this showdown from the beginning. Maybe not intentionally or even with forethought, but everything that has occurred over the past half-decade and change has led us to this point. We're on a collision course that will usher in a society that we may not be able to recover from because the people in power will have gotten their way. And if that happens, they aren't taking their chances at losing the reigns again. This is a heartfelt, almost desperate call to action. If it wasn't at any point before, it's our time to stand up. Democracy means the people hold power. We elect these Individuals to represent our interests, and it's up to us to not only ensure that they do but also that we put people with purpose and principles in those positions. The onus is on us. It's our time.
