Love Reiner, but bit melodramatic. Democracy prevailed when voters convicted him. Hoyt Apr 2022 #5

Convicted? OneGrassRoot Apr 2022 #6

Yes, voters convicted trump in November 2020. But, if you want to believe democracy is dead, go Hoyt Apr 2022 #14

I am a stickler for needing evidence to keep trump, Green, etc., off the ballot. Hoyt Apr 2022 #21

Sorry, you keep saying this, but voting him out is not accountability Marius25 Apr 2022 #9

So, you want to stop him from running in 2024? How pro-democracy of you. Hoyt Apr 2022 #15

Yes. The Constitution forbids insurrectionists from running for office. Marius25 Apr 2022 #19

Don't think you understand the Amendment. Beat the MFers at the polls. n/t Hoyt Apr 2022 #20

I understand it well. Marius25 Apr 2022 #23

Sorry, just copying and pasting the words is not enough. Hoyt Apr 2022 #24

Yeah, it is. It says no one may serve in office in the US Marius25 Apr 2022 #26

And how do we determine they participated in that based upon an Amendment clearly written to Hoyt Apr 2022 #31

What? TiberiusB Apr 2022 #45

MTG will be on the ballot because the rinky dink action will fail. Greene and trump continue winning Hoyt Apr 2022 #46

Beat the MFers at the polls only works w/ protected, open, honest election processes. NullTuples Apr 2022 #37

And trying to manipulate ballots to keep people we don't like off is an honest election? Christ. Hoyt Apr 2022 #39

Not sure what you're referring to. I'm talking about the state election processes themselves. NullTuples Apr 2022 #41

GOTV is a necessary, but possibly insufficient means to beat Republican ratfuckery. Silent3 Apr 2022 #59

To enforce 14th Amendement, seems one needs proof of them participating in an insurrection. Hoyt Apr 2022 #60

So, how about giving us some of that damning evidence. Not fit for office, Hoyt Apr 2022 #63

Trump exorting the crowd to "fight like hell" is, in and of itself, damning evidence to me Silent3 Apr 2022 #65

Like all his actions-- shows he's unfit for office -- but won't hold up as a Hoyt Apr 2022 #66
