Shemia Fagan YES. Republican Collaborators NO.

There is only ONE question that matters in every partisan election for every office in America this November. Are you voting for Trump?

Democrat Shemia Fagan, candidate for Oregon Secretary of State, has approved a campaign flyer that exemplifies the most important undercurrent in Oregon and American politics today i.e. There is only ONE question that matters in every partisan election for every office in America this November: Are you voting for Donald Trump? If the answer is YES or a refusal to answer then the ONLY response from voters is NO, I will NOT vote for you.

From her campaign flyer:

“Oregon can count on Senator Shemia Fagan to defend our vote from Trump’s attacks.”

“President Trump and right-wing Republicans (including Republican collaborator and candidate for S.O.S. Kim Thatcher) are attacking and threatening to stop vote-by-mail.”

BRAVO Shemia Fagan, Oregon’s next Secretary of State.


Willamette Week endorsed Shemia Fagan but missed the forest for the trees.

“In this contest, we endorse her wholeheartedly—because she does the same for vote by mail.”


Our objection to Thatcher is not that she's a Republican.” Well, it should be. Thatcher is a Trump Collaborator which is a de facto argument against endorsing her and all Trump Collaborators for any partisan political office.


My Published Comment

Your arguments are erudite, compelling and convincing. Nevertheless, they are irrelevant. This is an election of existential importance. There is ONLY one question that matters for every candidate: Will you vote for Donald Trump? Republican collaborator Kim Thatcher says, YES. There is nothing else we need to know about her and every other Republican collaborator who is running for public office in Oregon and everywhere else in America.

Don’t be fooled by last minute elected Republican guilty consciences like Republican Nebraska Senator Ben Sasse.

https://www.washingtonpost.com...


Sasse disgorged his soul cleansing vitriol on Donald Trump in a town hall with his constituents. But none of that mattered. Why?

A. Republican collaborator Ben Sasse voted against impeaching Donald Trump.

B. Republican collaborator Ben Sasse will vote for Donald Trump in November.

C. Republican collaborator Ben Sasse did not tell his constituents to vote for Joe Biden.


Republican collaborators Ben Sasse and Kim Thatcher are birds of a feather.


Journalists take note. American democracy and the freedom to do your jobs are at stake. Do NOT allow Trump collaborators to sneak under your radar. Don’t be afraid. Show the courage of John Oliver, Stephen Colbert, Seth Myers, Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, Samantha Bee, Trevor Noah, Bill Maher and Lorene Micheals and the SNL cast and crew. Find the TRUTH and REPORT IT.
