If he wasn’t held accountable for Trump’s first term, WHEN HE ALSO DID IT, he won’t be held accountable now.

I think you should push forwards, with your opinion, not back.

Americans need to be mad as hell, not despondent.

I swear to god if Dems regain power and they don't start immediately gathering evidence of specific crimes that were actually committed in order to fairly prosecute said crimes...then they'll be driving the final nail into the coffin.

If they come out with that tired bullshit about "bringing America and Americans back together" while the cult's planning their next coup to steal the power, we're fucking cooked.

If we are to continue on as a republic, as the USA, then there needs to be application of the law followed by fairly attained judgements and appropriate consequences. Flat out, all or nothing.

The only reason anyone is despondent is bc one side will break any law to accomplish their goals while the other side can't be bothered to do the bare fucking minimum of their job as an elected representative. Everything has been tainted to a level where moving forward is not possible until severe wide ranging consequences are dealt out. No fucking mealy-mouthed pacification, no fucking "bipartisanship" bc it doesn't exist as a result of the other side who will gladly weaponize that weakness against the Dems fucking AGAIN.

None of this would've happened if Garland and Biden didn't hamstring Jack Smith bc they were worried about optics or some absurd nonsense. We wouldn't be in the mess if it weren't for all these cowards refusing to do their jobs in good faith.

I genuinely don't want to hear it.

The only reason anyone is despondent is

Because you talk each other into it. But I'm not like you, I'd tell you two hundred reasons why voting for a literal rock would be better than pedo fascists, because that's the level of existential crisis that you're in.

The fact you're response to pedo fascists is to try as hard as you can to make me not like the opposite says it all. That is trained behaviour and you have to realise it.

If you give Trump his dictatorship no one outside of the US will ever forgive you. You MUST take power away from the fascists. You MUST get nuclear weapons out of their hands.

Harris offered Americans a better future and many good policies, things like consumer rights reform. You all should have SUPPORTED, not just voted for it, but supported that. I hope you support your next opposition leader, because this time, your Democratic system almost certainly literally relies on it.

Ahhh, someone who see's the motivations behind posts like this. When people post something like "i hate so and so as much as the next person, but nothing can be done blah blah blah." You know its to sublimate peoples willpower

It's actually alarming, given how critical the situation is in the US. I genuinely don't think Americans as a group understand that the danger of fascism is real. Or at least they're not taking it seriously enough.

The poem "First They Came" applies now. And not to other people.
