Another excellent must read by Chauncey DeVega:
Criminal indictments are not enough: Donald Trump must be defeated at the ballot box
In 2016, almost 63 million Americans failed a basic test of civic responsibility and wisdom when, with the help of a broken and archaic Electoral College, they elevated Donald Trump, a reality TV show star, professional wrestling heel, confirmed sexual assaulter and failed casino owner to the White House over Hillary Clinton, one of the most accomplished, experienced, and distinguished public servants in recent American history.
In 2020, some 74 million Americans failed their second test of civic responsibility and wisdom when they voted for Trump again. This time they made the same decision with the experience and hindsight of Trump's two impeachments, demonstrated mental unwellness, democide via the COVID pandemic, white supremacy and betrayal of the nation's interests at home and abroad.
In 2024, the American people will be faced with a third test of their civil responsibility, wisdom and collective intelligence. The future of the country as a democracy governed by the rule of law and the Constitution is almost literally on the ballot.

The. Entire. Republican. Party.
They invited this, they enabled this, and they've lied their asses off defending the indefensible.
They all need to be quashed politically. Along with The Boss.
Never forgive. Never forget.
That's my motto for 2024.

Defeated at the ballot box ? Thats already happened TWICE. The first time, the Electoral College has made the vote of the people irrelevant. The second time, his devotees simply claimed that the the results were fraudulent and insisted he really won. Do you think a third time would be any different?
