Fortney: Let’s vote for those who aren’t on Russia’s side

Posted

Why are we voting for people who are backing the president in his support of Russia? He did it during his first time in office and is still doing it.

I’m not going to vote for people who are supporting a country that invaded another country and who are making the invader the victim. Vladimir Putin is one of President Donald Trump’s favorites, as he likes the way Putin runs his country. And I feel that the president would like to do the same here.

Over the last year-and-a-half, look how certain people are under the Department of Justice’s radar. And why? With Putin, if you are not with him, then you could be in trouble. I am seeing the same thing in this country, and I am almost scared myself when I express my views.

I will vote for people who can think on their own and not conform to the wishes of someone else. What are they called? Oh, puppets without strings that you can see. I do hope you’re able to think about who you vote for and that they are helping the underdogs.
