@pa27 @pluralistic it makes a ton of sense when you understand that capital runs America's political system and it is at a crux in its 50-year plot to assume total control. Democrats are there in case the plot fails and they have to roll back by a decade and change course slightly. The Democratic Party at large is complicit. It has no interest in stopping this other than it is not the party in control. If power changed hands today only the optics would change, not the policy.

America's descent into authoritarian fascism is made all the more alarming and demoralizing by the Democrats' total failure to rise to the moment: -
Today's threads (a thread)@pluralistic "Critics of this plan will say that this will force Trump officials to try to steal the next election in order to avoid consequences for their actions."
"We can't upset the serial arsonist dousing our house with gasoline and toying with his lighter, he might try to light it on fire! Then what?"
Democrats aren't rising to the occasion because they still think that what Trump is doing is only bad because it's not them.

No, seriously, why is nobody doing this?@jwcph @pluralistic The world has never been interested in bringing the powerful to account.
The only thing that brings a powerful criminal to justice is someone more powerful who will benefit from it.
