America just allowed fascism to thumb its nose at democracy.
I figure the chances of that democracy surviving another Republican administration...
are nearing zero.
I'd like nothing better than to be proven wrong.
with cruz spouting his sedition loud and clear and the sedition 8 its would be hard
ol Moscow too could have turned the tide had he endorsed impeachment strongly but that wasn't gonna happen he was clearly riding the fence
I agree that these times are very dangerous as they concern democracy.
Corruption and ignorance seem insurmountable and commonplace.
We can hope American democracy survives, if we make our voices heard.
I've been saying that for a while now. Most likely whoever gets the nod will have designs on authoritarian rule and if the electorate is dumb enough to vote him in, there's a good chance he'll be successful.
You didn't think 17 Republicans would vote to convict? Did you? I actually think 7 was a lot. I would say that if Trump had been re-elected you would be right. We dodged a big one. If Biden can stay healthy for the next four years I think he'll get re-elected. If he dies, which can happen to 78-81 year old man, we're doomed. Our democracy hinges on one man. I believe that. I also think he was the only candidate to stop Trump. He did.
No, I didn't expect otherwise.
I imagine a President Harris loses to a Trump '24 run...
@JeffMurray I don't think there will be a Trump run, but if he runs against Biden, he'll lose.
@barjoe laws are being tweeked to make it harder for democrats again so efforts to get out the vote are going to have to continue with vigor they are cheating at a higher rate than ever before and we have to be vigilant
I knew there would not be enough members of the gop to convict, I was hoping they would just not show up for the vote since 2/3s of the Senate present would vote I did the math once but forget the number needed to sit out the vote with 7 voting for. Does not matter now, everyone who is against fascism will ave to work as Stacy Abramson did in Georgia to help make sure everyone who wants to vote has a chance.
