The cynical ploy of Ted Cruz and 10 other Republican senators will now force every other Republican member of Congress to openly choose democracy or fascism.
America will watch and remember those who choose the path of treason on January 6.
Here are the enemies of democracy:
Ted Cruz (TX)
Ron Johnson (WI)
James Lankford (OK)
Steve Daines (MT)
John Kennedy (LA)
Marsha Blackburn (TN)
Mike Braun (IN)
Cynthia Lummis (WY)
Roger Marshall (KS)
Bill Hagerty (TN)
Tommy Tuberville (AL)
While the forces that propelled Trump to the presidency — racism, corruption, and greed — still plague America, we can find hope in this victory.
Thank you for still believing in democracy.
Every single one of you who organized your community, who mobilized your friends and family, who made even just one phone call, should be incredibly proud.
This election is just the beginning. Now our work to rebuild America as a true democracy centered on social justice and human rights can begin in earnest.
When this nightmare is over, we need a Truth and Reconciliation Commission. It would erase Trump’s lies, comfort those who have been harmed by his hatefulness, and name every official, politician, executive, and media mogul whose greed and cowardice enabled this catastrophe.
Just came across this thoughtful piece by historian Jill Lepore on why such a commission -- while useful in other societies that have gone through traumatic periods -- would probably not be useful in post-Trump America. washingtonpost.com/outlook/truth-…
Ga: Voters wait up to 11 hours to cast ballots on 1st day early voting.
NC: Nearly 1 in 5 of roughly 500K who have returned mail ballots so far didn't vote in the last pres election.
Mich: More than 1 million — roughly one-fourth of the turnout in 2016 — have already voted.
Roughly 15 million Americans have already voted, despite barriers erected by the coronavirus pandemic and voter suppression, setting a trajectory that could result in the majority of voters casting ballots before Election Day for the first time in U.S. history.
"When it comes to the response to the largest public health crisis of our time, our current political leaders have demonstrated that they are dangerously incompetent. We should not abet them and enable the deaths of thousands more Americans by allowing them to keep their jobs."
