🔹The committee will be finished before November. They're aiming for Spring.
🔹The DOJ will have all the material and it continues until 2024.
🔹If the Republicans take the House, the select committee "dead in the water" isn't the problem.
The only thing standing between us and the return of the Trump regime is the Democratic Party -- so maybe trashing and battering the Democratic Party isn't smart.
Of course, everyone is free to talk about Democratic failures . . .
. . .but if a majority of voters believe the Democratic Party is a failure (or they believe the Democrats are responsible for Republican law-breaking because they stubbornly refused to Do that Something that will solve the problem) I can't see Democrats winning in 2022.
I am thankful for people like @staceyabrams who work to strengthen democracy.
What if—instead of making demands and attacking the people working to save democracy—the 1000s of rage merchants spent the next year registering and inspiring new voters?
Because actually nobody promised you anything like this.
Nobody promised that criminal investigations would be carried out with "transparency." Nobody promised Congress would work fast. And the "accountability" in the Constitution is elections so bad apples can be voted out.
In fact, nobody promised you a functioning democracy. If you want it, you have to work for it.
Democracy asks a lot of its citizens. It asks for civic involvement and it asks for an informed citizenry.
Autocracy is for the lazy. You can't do anything anyway, except complain.
