Benjamin Franklin was asked after the Constitutional Convention what type of government we would have. He replied “A Republic, if you can keep it.” Back in 2018 I posed the same question ‘ “Can we keep our republic ?”.

I think that should be the major issue for the upcoming elections. According to the Pew Research Center it is not. I think it should be a voters will consider it among the factors they weigh when evaluating candidates.

There may be many factors to consider but certainly leaving the future of our democracy in the hands of insurrectionists and election deniers could be a major mistake.
