Summary
Democrats blame Attorney General Merrick Garland for delaying prosecution of Donald Trump over the January 6 Capitol attack, allowing him to win reelection before facing trial.
Critics argue Garland wasted critical time before appointing a special prosecutor in late 2022, enabling Trump to evade accountability due to DOJ policy barring prosecution of sitting presidents.
While Trump faces ongoing civil lawsuits, his return to power threatens pardons for convicted rioters and continued revisionism about the attack.
Despite public disapproval of Trump’s actions, he successfully leveraged misinformation to regain the presidency.
How about looking inward, Dems? How about accepting responsibility for not proffering a candid who could beat Trump?
Every article and a majority of the comments keep framing this as “Democrats fail to…” and “Democrats need to …” and even that feels disingenuous. The DNC and the current administration is to blame. The wording tries to spread blame to the voters as well and I have no idea what we as voters could have done with the “campaign” we were given.
Agreed. Voters didn’t get a choice. There weren’t democratic primaries.
Let me just stress: On that day.
As voters we should be participating in local politics as well. Gathering to protest. We need to actively participate in the society we live in. Becoming dependent on the system to protect our rights had failed us so now we have to defend those rights ourselves.
Self reflection? Sounds like you’re racist and sexist for not voting hard enough! /$
