Rob Reiner on MSNBC talking about end of Democracy

[Efilroft Sul]

71. Thank you, and I agree with you 100%.

I wished I could have summed up my frustrations in a more elegant way, but too often on DU, the conversations with its sensible woodchucks go like this:

Us: Manchin is making it impossible to protect free and fair elections!

Sensible Woodchucks: If you want to negate Manchin's influence over legislation, you have to elect more Democrats to the Senate!

Us: But the Republicans are rigging the game at the state level to overturn election results and the Democrats are doing nothing!

Sensible Woodchucks: Get out the vote!

And, of course, we're also told, "You'll just have to work harder to bend the moral arc of the universe, Sparky!" And when I see that, I just want to shout, "Motherchucker, we busted our asses in 2018 and 2020 to help Democrats take back Congress and the White House. WE did our job, our civic duty. Why don't THEY work on behalf of all of us to protect democracy?" The threat is existential, and the woodchucks chide us for pointing it out.
