President Donald Trump made many spurious allegations in his Thursday night speech, with claims that there were serious attempts from China to interfere in the 2020 election.

However, on Face the Nation Sunday, Senate Intelligence Committee vice chairman Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) said the real reason for Trump’s speech was to signal the president’s own intentions to interfere with November midterms.

“Why is he doing all these things? I believe it’s because Donald Trump intends to interfere in this year’s elections,” said Warner in an interview with Face the Nation’s Margaret Brennan. “He knows if there is a free and fair election, his policies will be rejected at record levels.”

    It is not throwing your vote away, it is being used by a two-party system to ensure whoever is in the lead stays there. That’s not throwing your vote away, that is inadvertently voting for the candidate you didn’t want. You vote works against your intentions, just how the system is intended to work.

    Don’t get to butt hurt though, remember the people have Congress to represent them (BS I know) while the wealthy have the Senate, Judiciary, and the Executive Branch. Totally fair!
