OPINION:
I did not vote for Donald Trump, and I don’t want him to become president again. But I don’t like the idea of him being removed from election ballots (“Trump lawyers tell Supreme Court to halt efforts to keep him off ballot, warn of ‘chaos and bedlam,’” web, Jan. 18).
I believe that every U.S. citizen should have the right to run for president. And the people should decide who becomes president. I remember years ago when Ralph Nader was running for the office. There was a debate and he wanted to participate, but the Democratic and Republican parties prevented him from doing so.
What did Mr. Nader do? He got a press pass and tried to sit in the audience. The two parties had security remove him from the building.
I thought that this was terrible, and it proved to me that our country is ruled by a two-party dictatorship. Anyone who disagrees with me that such a dictatorship exists is welcome to try to prove me wrong.
I believe that there should be write-in lines in every election race, on every ballot. That way the people would really have democracy because they could vote for the person they wanted. In addition, every race should have a ’’none of the above’’ line.
