Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and Colorado Gov. Jared Polis have formed a coalition of governors to fight against “increasing threats of autocracy” and strengthen democracy during a second Donald Trump presidency.

The goal of Governors Safeguarding Democracy, or GSD, is to protect state-level institutions of democracy — and to utilize their collective legislative, budgetary, executive and administrative powers. Pritzker said it will “catalyze collaboration across state lines.”

“It’s built off a model that all of us governors have already successfully pioneered through the Reproductive Freedom Alliance,” Pritzker said. “And together, what we’re doing is pushing back against increasing threats of autocracy and fortifying the institutions of democracy that our country and our states depend on.”

    Just like they safe guarded the presidency, the supreme Court, and Congress? No one is coming to save you. Especially not the Democrats.

        from what I have seen many on the far left think money is speech even more than the republicans and also feel the left should lie their way to the top.

        It actually is buddy. Their weak ass bullshit policies have helped steer this ship. The ever ready rush to meet in the “middle” as long as they make bank. Why reform or progress as long as I can insider trade. Then dumb fuck pussies like you will call me extreme because I don’t want to bomb kids and I like clean water.
