    Default U.S. democracy frayed over the past year. Senate Democrats must repair the damage.

    American democracy frayed in 2021, as Republicans in states such as Georgia and Texas passed laws making it harder to vote, premised on the lie that fraud tipped the 2020 presidential election. As GOP-controlled state legislatures forced through these antidemocratic policies on party-line votes, the U.S. Senate was silent, the Democratic majority unable to respond because Republicans filibustered bill after bill to ease access to the ballot box.

    Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) announced last week that he intends to change this dynamic early next year, bringing up voting rights legislation once again and taking more assertive procedural moves to advance it.

    U.S. Democracy frayed over the past four years as a result of idiots voting against their own interest at getting conned by the Don, and at doing Russians and treasonous repukes a favor at facilitating the lawless hacking of the 2016 election in a piece of sewer shit tRump's favor and that came with a curse. The best thing to do is consider the destroyed repuke atrocity at being saturated with the stench and trash of tRump's influence and legacy, is to ensure a Democratic controlled House, Senate and White House forever! This is considering it has been democrats who have been working diligently at serving the best interests of society and humanity, avoiding between 2017 and 2020 at tRump and his sewer mob from completely destroying Democracy and civilization on Earth. This is while tRump's GQP sewer mob continue to work diligently to destroy Democracy from within, the wellbeing of society and all else of a civilized nature on Earth.

    I'm not sure what's left to repair.
    Let's start two, three or four new nations and try to get it right this time.
    It's time to call it on this one.

    Considering repukes have emersed themselves in tRump's insurrectionist shit. Yet Democracy won this time for the following reasons as a result of a republican Vice President Pence who was President of the Senate at that time certifying President Biden's 2021 certification as POTUS, and despite tRump and his dog ass creatures waging war on that electoral certification process. This includes to which, a number of tRump's fall fools are encountering legal retribution over that zealous, drunken and mentally deranged act of stupidity:

    Pence declares Biden winner of the presidential election after Congress finally counts electoral votes

    Vice President Pence declared Democrat Joe Biden the winner of the presidential election at the end of a violent and deadly day at the Capitol. Pence also announced that Sen. Kamala D. Harris (D-Calif.) had won the vice presidency, after the Senate and House rejected Trump loyalists’ challenges to Biden’s win in Pennsylvania and Congress finally counted the electoral votes."

    My point: 'Defund the Police' and 'Open Borders' aren't really Vote Getters. Democrats need to make it clear where they stand on these issues, or the Republicans will for them.
