House Republicans are debating whether to focus impeachment efforts on Attorney General Merrick Garland after Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) suggested an inquiry against him, taking some members by surprise after much of the GOP impeachment furor had been directed at other Biden officials.
Biden and Democrats are doing a lot. They are both obeying the law and trying to protect the rule of law. You know what actively hurts democrats? Comments that imply that they aren’t doing it. Comments putting “SOMETHING” up in caps, while being blithely ignorant of all the concurrent herculean efforts.
So let me turn it around: what have YOU done to help the rule of law and to protect our country (and the world)? We all play a role - whether it is in stopping shitting on Democrat efforts, or getting your buddy to the polls, or contacting your congresspeople (federal and state), or volunteering in many other ways.
I vote for candidates that represent my views and hopes for a better future for all. I also donate to out-of-state candidates to help them win seats.
I also organize and participate in protests around the country to shed light on, and give voice to, important issues.
I’m also allowed to be critical of the failures of my party to proactively protect the democracy I care about.
You also don’t know me, at all, to be able to state what you think I know or what I imply by my statements.
Claiming that Democrats and the Biden administration are unaware of the threat to democracy that is the modern GOP does not match reality. They talk about this a lot, and there have been lots of things they’ve done to deal with the problem.
