    What are we doing to quash voter suppression laws? What are we doing about January 6? What are we doing about infrastructure? What are we doing about fat cat rich takers and corporations not paying taxes? What are we doing about crimes committed in the last four years? What are we doing about white supremacist domestic terrorists? What are we doing about Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema? Democrats need to execute the Republican playbook. They need to simply ask themselves, “What would (and did) the Republicans do if and when they were in our current situation? Then just do it.

    A logical step would be to slap the shit out of ANTIFA and the other trouble starters!

    I think all of the men who voted against the equal pay act should have their pay cut and be held up as an example of the continues war on women by the Republican Party

    The Senate should support the appointment of a bipartisan Congressional committee to fully investigate the Jan. 6 insurrection and attack on Congress and our democracy. Congress should act to see security measures are in place to ensure it never happens again. I can think of no other event in my 70 years of life that so directly endangered the continued existence of our country as a democracy.

    Imagine being a women and supporting the Republicans that actively say you’re not as important as a white male.

    If we truly want to avoid another insurrection, we need to do this https://apps.bostonglobe.com/opinion/graphics/2021/06/future-proofing-the-presidency/part-6-the-case-for-prosecuting-donald-trump/

    It didn’t start with gas chambers. It started with one party controlling the media. One party controlling the message. One party deciding what is truth. One party censoring speech and silencing opposition. One party dividing citizens into ‘us’ and ‘them’ and calling on their supporters to harass them. It started when good people turned a blind eye and let it happen.

    The best way to prevent an other insurrection is to vote the current Republican faction out of existence. They have done nothing to earn the respect that they demand. I cannot think of a single thing that they authored or championed in the past twelve years for the sole benefit of the people of this country that they were not forced into supporting. There was some legislation that benefited their benefactors and themselves greatly with some spin-off benefit to the people. … … … Did they take action to control the Pandemic, NO. Take action to hold the the trump in check, NO. Endorse or turn a blind eye to the trump’s coddling of White Supremacist/Nationalist para-military groups, YES. Ignore the trump’s coddling of international dictators and abandonment of allies and treaties, YES. Condemn the trump’s racist rhetoric and mistreatment of immigrants, NO. Have a honest actual impeachment trial, NO and again NO. Make promises to support the people with a great new health care plan that would cost less and cover pre-existing conditions in the 2018 midterm elections, YES. Ever even start anything to deliver on that promise, NEVER. Silently watched exceeding egregious repeated gross emoluments violations by the trump and the unnecessary 613,000 American Covid deaths due to his ineptness, YES. and this list can go on and on and on. … … … The Republican Political Faction has: only the goal of attaining and retaining political power by any means possible, including massive political double-speak, abandonment of principles or any sense of honor. They created the Frankentrump thing by refusing to check his abuses as they grew and grew. They fed it’s ego in return for no presidential resistance to the dismantlement of laws and agencies that might regulate their benefactors as well as for being delegated presidential authority to stuff the court with extremely right wing judges, many of whom the ABA judged to be unqualified. So why should they be listened to, why should they be given the privilege of representing the people when they have done nothing to earn it. … … … The Reoublican Faction needs to be summarily voted out of existence to make room for an honest and principled conservative party to take their place. If we do not, we risk the autocracy that this Faction represents from taking over our governance and ending our democracy.

    America’s death by a thousand cuts No paycheck protections No infrastructure No common sense gun laws No investigation of an attack on our Capitol Even though the MAJORITY of Americans want these. Republicans don’t represent. They are the antithesis of a representative/Republic.

    It’s easy to make sure nothing like the capital riot happens again. You can’t really totally blame the people as they felt very neglected and their voices were not being heard by Congress. Way to much attention was/ is paid to other violent groups and it seemed like no one was/is listening to them. I blame the politicians for what happened that day. If they had only came out snd talked and listened to the people of America it may have never happened. This is cause and effect. If you don’t listen to all Americans and all sides it will happen again

    We can ensure it by electing more Democrats period- the R’s only understand blocking what is good for the people and our nation

    Steps to ensure another riot does not happen on our Capitol: 1. Non-partisan investigation 2. Accurate, truthful reporting of the findings 3. Accountability for ALL involved 4. Swift, harsh punishment for those convicted. Before any of this happens, you’ll need to get rid of Senate Republicans and sue right-wing media sights for libel (exposing an entity/person to hatred/injury to a person). QAnon & FOX entertainment need to be first on the list.

    Capitol riot happened because there were voting laws that suddenly changed due to Covid. People lost trust in the system and actually lost trust long time ago on both sides. Improve voter integrity and increase voting at the polls. Done!

    Joe Manchin said today “I never give in.” https://time.com/6072388/manchin-again-at-the-center-of-the-democrats-agenda-troubles/ That’s not something to be proud of, in my book. I think adaptable, intelligent, mature human beings respond to reality as it is by changing or flexing their attitudes and behavior based on new information. With his rigid attitude, he’s more McConnell’s ally than an ally of the American people, it seems to me. I’m not surprised that Steve Bannon is urging recruiting Manchin to join the Republican party.

    If you are not ultra-rich but support the Republican Party, you are being scammed! If you are ultra-rich and support the Republican Party, shame on you for not caring about those struggling. Your wealth undeniably comes on the backs of others. That the Republican Party gives you a false narrative of self-reliance doesn’t make it true. To my Democratic Party leaders and colleagues: END THE FILIBUSTER!

    The best way to prevent another attempted coup is to fully prosecute those who were involved in the last coup, including their leader and those in government positions who supported the coup. The same thing applies to the spreading of fake news; these people should be sued for libel and slander. When they have to pay a large settlement, they’ll think twice next time.

    Trump was allowed to break presidential norms. He was allowed to use hate speech. He was allowed to lie. Welcome to Germany 100 years ago, history repeats itself. If we continue on this path we will not have democracy. I’m begging my Senators and Congresswoman to do something to hold the previous administration accountable. It did not start with gas chambers, it started with allowing Hitler to get away with braking norms, lying and using hate speech.

    Mitch McConnell has pledged to block everything again and Joe Manchin is helping him by protecting the filibuster. They WANT another capital riot. Either it’s the MAGA crowd, that want trump reinstated, who will be protected by someone or normal people who are fed up nothing is getting done and killed before they get down the street.

    Three parts of the voting legislation are most important: - Gerrymandering reform - Pre-clearance protections - Independent election verification If bipartisanship is necessary, combine these reforms with last 4 digits of SSN on mail-in ballots. This is much harder to put up difficult license barriers, and could preclude license requirements. This bill would be overwhelmingly supported.
