Time to throw these disgusting Repubes behind bars.

These Repub demands for sham "audits" should be taken to court and if necessary appealed all the way to the Supreme Court. Why is that not happening?

Time to start treating these Repubs like the enemies of our democracy that they are. Enough with playing nice. They don't want election security they want election control. Control the elections you control the results. Control the results and you control the government.

The problem being.....

They have control of more then a few states already!

You want me to mention the courts too?

Fearing blood will be the only way forward.

The courts I still trust for democracy issues. They don't want a N. American version of Putin's Russia.

Most Trump appointees, now safe with lifetime tenure, feel free to be more or less respectable judges. But there have been exceptions.

The Democrats need to lay bare to the nation just what today's Republican party is up to. Appeal to the independents and sane Repubs to vote against the tRumplicans in 2022 and 2024. The cult leadership must be brought down or like Oerets fears, blood will be the only way forward.

I love it when a Republican claims the Democratic Party is the bigger threat to Democracy, then asserts that "........America is not a Democracy.".

We think they're stupid because they are.

What's democratic about a LA resident's vote counting for less than a Bangor resident's vote in our federal elections?

Vestige of having to please slave states is why the electroal college was conceived. Time has long pasted on eliminating it for sure.

If the republicans deep down truly believed in their numbers. There would be no need to pass the voter disenfranchising, intimation laws. Running "big lie" candidates for attorney general in key battleground states. Gerrymandering on steroids.

Besides the electoral college, what makes the American system of democracy undemocratic is two Senators per state. In the current political climate, the Senate can easily stay in Republican hands indefinitely and the McConnell effect will continue, fight every legislation except tax cuts.

Second problem is the Supreme Court justices appointed for life. Most of thee people decide based on ideology, not the constitution.

Third problem is not having term limits. Feinstein and Grassley are decades past their prime.
