Letter to the editor: We must replace Donald Trump

If you are an adult of voting age, the 2020 election could be the most important one of your life. If we don’t replace Donald Trump as president, I believe this country is headed toward becoming an authoritarian dictatorship.

This is not the time for moderation. Without a really big change in inequality in this country, we will be back to the same situation that got Trump elected in the first place. During the past 30 years, your government has been increasingly bought by big business, and we need to take it back.

The three candidates who are promising to pass laws to help us do that are Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders and Tom Steyer. These would include things like a wealth tax, election reform, raising the federal minimum wage, national referendums and universal health care.

If you’re a registered Republican, please be aware that there are two candidates who are running against Trump in the primaries, although some states are actually canceling their Republican primaries and keeping them off the ballots.

The Pennsylvania primary is April 28, and the general election is Nov. 3. You must be registered 30 days prior to each in order to vote. So please, pay attention, and vote.
