Media: Stop asking "Will the Democrats stand up for Democracy?"

The "Democrats" aren't the problem. TWO Democrats are standing in the way.

Stop acting as if this is Democratic Party problem and start focusing on the actual stumbling blocks.

Folks laid off him for a bit while they went after other Democrats. That didn't last long.

or the role DOJ plays in these cases.

Even worse, they want the Biden Administration, in general, and DOJ, in particular, to behave just the way the Trump administration and Barr DOJ behaved - but just direct their abuse for the benefit of Democrats.

the same people day after day who bash the Democrats, and spread their "doom and gloom" forecasts.

I feel like I am back in 2016 when Obama was president and we had a group here who always complained, no matter what he did, and also spread their doom and gloom crap. They left to start their own board, but I have a feeling they may have come back to spread more BS.

For our side to be united and maybe convince a few from their side of the legitimacy of our arguments?

Has no one been in debate club?

A wealth of material, not only just normal reporting about what's going on but exciting stories of corruption, scandal, complete obstruction, anti-democratic and anti-American behavior. But no, all this dramatic material wasted in favor of boring whining about Democrats.

why they aren't even willing to talk about voting rights. Why they are afraid of what happens if people vote.
