Voting rights? Then you must get everyone to vote. Gerrymandering? We're there. Free press? Do the masses read?

Even if you manage to jail a score of them, they'll just whine their way back to relevance.

So Keith, keep working. You wrote a prescription without method.

Nobody has ever criticized Paul Revere for failing to stop at each tavern, barn and dwelling to enumerate a list of detailed instructions. If we agree with what he's saying, the method in a representative democracy should be self evident. As Thom Hartmann reminds us every day, democracy is not a spectator sport.

we MUST get voting rights through the senate, and scotus.

How ironic it is that, during the first Civil War, Abraham Lincoln, the founding father of the GOP, which now stands against everything that Lincoln stood for, prayed in his address on the battlefield of Gettysburg that America's government of the people, by the people and for the people, would not perish from the face of this earth. Only Liz Cheney and a handful of other Republicans have stood up to Trump and stood up for American democracy and the Constitution. As Trump would say, SAD!

is being slow walked for some reason. One of the ex DOJ commentators on MSNBC once said that when it takes a long time for information about a crime to be released it's because a lot of times the it's bad.
