Prosecution was the right thing to do. We have never had a President try to violently overturn an election, on TV. SunSeeker Sep 2025 #19
Unfortunately, didn't work for us, unless you believe trump would have won by 10 points without the indictments, etc. Silent Type Sep 2025 #22

Relying on courts to determine election by convicting trump is the mistake, IMO. Silent Type Sep 2025 #40
We were not using courts to "determine an election." We were trying to convict a criminal. SunSeeker Sep 2025 #41
Sorry, we thought he would be eliminated by courts. The right wing talk is trying to convince people Silent Type Sep 2025 #44
We thought he would be eliminated by the truth. Lies (and sexism and racism) won. SunSeeker Sep 2025 #45
Tough for some to accept truth. Hope we don't run on retribution and payback because we'll lose again. Silent Type Sep 2025 #47
Running on retribution worked for Trump. SunSeeker Sep 2025 #49
OK. Still hope we don't run on retribution just because it worked for trump. Silent Type Sep 2025 #50
