"Democracy" may not be on the ballot, but freedom of speech certainly is

This idiot was actually a high school teacher, indoctrinating kids with these Orwellian lies:
Walz making an alarming and false claim: "There's no guarantee to free speech on misinformation or hate speech, and especially around our democracy."

Walz is wrong, of course: The First Amendment, which vigorously protects Americans' free speech rights, does not distinguish between good information and misinformation. Moreover, so-called hate speech—an arbitrary category, as different people find different sorts of speech to be hateful—is quite obviously protected.
Combine that with the Biden-Harris administration's long record of brutal censorship (see disinformation czar Nina Jankowitz, Twitter Files...), the First Amendment is on the ballot, and on life support.

You have to wonder if assassination is beyond them.
