In reply to the discussion: Democrats, Think Long & Hard About This Thread. I Have. [View all]gab13by13
(32,736 posts)34. My thread is way out there, and it's out there for a reason,
the dismantling of our democracy is widespread and serious and it is going to take extraordinary means to reverse the damage done.
I am only opining that it may take someone who is fearless and knows how to fight back against the evil that has befallen us.
I like Newsom, I like his memes and pushback against Krasnov, but it will take more once the full-fledged death threats hit him. I also like Pritzker.
It is going to be an uphill battle to take back what the billionaires have stolen from our country.

what makes you think these people would "restore justice for all"? And what does that look like?

Oh, man, would I love to vote for Malcolm Nance. But I don't think it's likely we will do this.
