Message to Democrats: You better, that's what everyone is voting D for. Stop the madness, put safeguards in place to keep this from happening again.

    problem is impeachment is toothless it seems

    i thought the houses could pass laws on their own but apparently that's a supermajority as well so we're fucked for 2 years

    maybe the states can defederate and make a difference

    put safeguards in place to keep this from happening again.

    What safeguards will work against decades of oligarch-controlled media putting out fascist propaganda? What safeguards can Democrats put in with a mere majority when it takes a supermajority to make real changes?

    Most importantly, and I hate to say it: What would Democrats do even if they had a su permajority when establishment Democrats are content to suck at the teat of the oligarchs?

    While it's worth the effort to elect Democrats, even establishment ones, because on economic issues they won't help us much, on the issue of human rights in particular, there is a huge difference between the fascists and the establishment Democrats (and if that does'nt sound right, go read up on Christian nationalism and pay more fucking attention).

    But even the bluest of blue waves is not going to help much on most fronts. But it will help on some fronts.

    14A3 disqualification of Trump starting from J6 or earlier (traitors can not be elected, thus nullifying the whole second term)

    With all pardons now nullified, all immunity erased, all appointments undone, prosecutions can begin.
