Meanwhile the right owns the supreme court and a lot of lower court judges, so good luck with that prosecution. It will drag out for years and result in nothing.

The lasting side effect is going to be the rest of the world continuing to think of the US as a joke and all the trade relations they are building now. When the US settles back down they will never again weild the power they once had.

    Vote blue no matter who. If we can win enough of a majority in the senate and the house over the next two elections we may be able to expand and pack the Supreme Court.

    When primaries start the following needs to be the litmus test for all candidates.

    1 Do you support prosecution of criminals within the Trump/Republican regime.

    1. Do you support packing the Supreme Court.

    Edit: Apparently what I’m asking for above is too radical for this sub and I can’t reply to comments. Please see my edit below for my response to only voting for leftists.

    You’re not going to get a leftist Dem elected in red states like Iowa or Texas.

    By adopting the stance that you won’t vote for a non leftist in the Dem party you will guarantee Republicans and facists control of the senate and house and you will remain a ineffective minority while the right clocks up more Supreme Court seats and makes it impossible to vote for any left wing or Dem. Candidate

    to be fair us has never been leftists, or had a significant "left" voting or politician, its the most right wing western country out there. we have schumer, hakeem,newsom who are center right, and most of the people in the houses are around the same leaning.
