    Is there a real plan to shore up our “democracy” if the Democrats win this election? What is Biden going to do next term that he didn’t do this term?

    I feel like people are so fixated on Trump that they can’t see past him. Trump is a giant, clown-shaped piece of shit-- absolutely. How does the opposing party fail at politics so hard that someone like Trump ever even had a shot?

      Just ask about DC statehood and the Dems’ inability to enfranchise over a million US citizens.

      As soon as you scratch this problem, you discover how shallow and unserious the party is in “protecting democracy”.

        I agree, I’m just trying to get others to see how little “resistance” the Dems pose to the more naked fascism of the Repubs.

          I think the case of DC Statehood is an obvious example. Whether we’re talking about Kennedy, Clinton, or Obama, we’re talking about a party that’s deliberately disenfranchised over a million people on their watch.
