I’m thinking the Dems need to run on nothing less than remaking American democracy.
End Citizens United, totally reform the corrupt and broken SCOTUS, a new voting rights act, ban gerrymandering everywhere.
And give Trump figures who broke the law fair trials, and ban them from federal jobs.

Dems must make the case that Trump’s corruption, lies, abuse of pardon power, flagrant disregard for the constitution and criminal acts present an unprecedented crisis in American history.
An entirely criminal administration.
And that major actions are required.

Something the US needs to accept too is that without a large-scale correction imposing consequences on a large number of people, the crisis of governance here will continue indefinitely

This release is about the the bravery & tenacity of the survivors who continue to fight for justice in a system seeking to crush, silence, and erase them.

I see the “technically it’s ephebophelia” crowd is out today, so just a reminder that A) this is NOT a case where technically correct is the best kind of correct and B) the minute you say this, the gods dump you in the “irredeemable creeper” basket and wash their hands thoroughly after touching you.
