Thom: You said the good news is that there are a number of things congress can do about political bribery.
Being the eternal realist A Republican congress will do absolutely nothing, because they have benefited, and with Gerrymandering and voter suppression I do not see this ever being a Democratic congress again. To compound the problem, the DNC is as addicted to campaign funding by corporations, PACs and plutocrats. Which you acknowledge with your recounting of Al Gore’s cowardly performance.
I read that liberals, progressives, Democrats out number the fascists, but the fascists are organized and motivated, not so the liberals, progressives, Democrats. And way too many of them are myopic and petulant. We need to be incensed, the DNC needs to trigger the amygdala, like the Republicans trigger the amygdala, but alas with the evidence that too many "Democrats" are slopping at the corporate trough, and are basically conservative (the myth of the moderate), we are poorly led or is that misled.
For instance I’ve been watching on TV South Carolina Democrats bragging how they basically control the Democratic party and determine who it’s candidate will ebe in the Presidential election.
And that is true, but with the exception of the 2020 election, in which a head of cabbage could have beat Trump (81 million people, an all time record) showed up to kick his butt out of the White House,
The South Carolina Democratic party is, by their myopia and arrogance, actually electing a Republican as president. And if SCOTUS validates the Independent Legislature suit before it, then it is all over, because as it stands now, the Democratic party only has 188 electoral votes, and the so called Swing states are controlled by Republican legislatures.
Any candidate selected by the South Carolina Democratic party, and the Red states, will highly motivate the white Christian Nationalist fascists to turn out and vote. And I fear that the 2024 election will be the last election, and all else from then on will be like Hungary’s or basically a plebiscite like the one that confirmed Hitlers appointment as Chancellor…IOW a fraud.
BTW the Democratic party is full of shills. Hakeem Jeffers is a shill for AIPAC, and 109 Democrats in the House, including Hakeem and Nancy, voted yea on HR 9 which condemned socialism. I let my representative, Rick Larson, know how unhappy I was with his vote.
