Thank you for sharing your thinking (and helping us think better) about what we're seeing. I agree with you, including about Citizens United. But I happen to have written something about Citizens United that shows that it is an important SCOTUS decision for reasons that might surprise many. I believe the reasons are important, and should be better known. Please consider: We the People Should Use "Citizens United ("https://blackcollarcrime.substack.com/p/we-the-people-should-use-citizens?r=30ufvh).
If you are from a blue state or cannot go to a battleground state, your volunteer work is needed to do ballot-curing through VoPro Pros and the Harris/Walz campaign. Info on ballot-curing is in this article on the Substack newsletter The Grassroots Connector:
“Early voting has started in all swing states, so ballot curing is already underway. It will continue after Election Day, with different deadlines for ballot counting in different states. Several groups are seeking volunteers for various “voter protection activities.” These include: VoPro Pros, an all volunteer organization, various state Democratic parties, and the Harris-Walz campaign. You can sign up to be trained and deployed by VoPro Pros here. You can sign up to volunteer with a variety of state Democratic parties here.
“Most ballot-curing is done by phone, so a volunteer can be anywhere and help make votes count. One of the great things about ballot curing is that volunteers know they are making a direct contribution to increasing Democratic vote totals in battleground states, districts, and local elections. Together they will help us win the White House, the Senate, and all down ballot races, too.”
I would be more terrified, especially after today's SCOTUS corrupted gift to Youngkin, if I was not CERTAIN Kamala will win next week. Let's hope Roberts doesn't hand the election to Trump when MAGA floods the courts with frivolous lawsuits challenging Kamala's win.
Michael, excellent article on "how we got here." We have a lot of work to do after Kamala Harris is inaugurated not the least of which is to blunt the power of a corrupt Supreme Court. You showed the timeline of the Immunity decision and how Roberts slow-walked the decision. Here's another cut at the timeline showing that Roberts already had his mind made up before certiorari was granted. https://bit.ly/Pres_Immunity_Decision_Timeline

“It’s Easy to Volunteer to Cure Ballots

Truly incredible work. Campaign finance reform - starting first at state level - must be priority no 1.
