A few of our stories and columns are now in front of the paywall. We at The Chief-Leader remain committed to independent reporting on labor and civil service. It's been our mission since 1897. You can have a hand in ensuring that our reporting remains relevant in the decades to come. Consider supporting The Chief, which you can do for as little as $3.20 a month.
To the editor:
Prefatory matters: the individual that commented on "Capitol Offense" (The Chief, Letters, Oct. 11) commented on "The Defense Rests" (The Chief, Letters, Oct. 18) and apologized for misinterpreting my position. Gracious apology appreciated and accepted.
Whatever disagreements I've had with Joseph Cannisi on these pages I have observed he is capable of critical, independent thought. His statement about not being able to vote Donald Trump out greatly surprises me.
The president is just that. Not a monarch, emperor, or dictator. The president does not have unlimited, unchecked power. If he/she did, wouldn't Trump have been able to overturn the results of the "fraud" of an election? Wouldn't he have been able to order the courts to rule in his favor? Ask Rudolph Giuliani how that went.
To Richard Warren, who doesn't want to look at Jill Stein's platform: Has Trump cast a spell on you that's preventing you from doing so?
As I have observed previously on these pages, whatever party or even write in vote it is your choice. Even if you vote for Harris you can still look at Jill Stein's platform. May even change your mind.
New York will almost certainly go to Harris. Iowa, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and the electoral college will decide the election. Not the popular vote.
