1/ Having come this close to losing our democracy, millions of more people now realize how important it is that we have one - however imperfect and bedraggled it is.

2/ We didn’t come so close to the cliff because of just one man; we came so close because We the People took our eyes off the ball, too many of us allowing the musculature of vital citizenship to whither while we were off doing other things.

3/ It was a painful awakening but a necessary one. As long as we remain alert, as long as we don’t go back to sleep, as long as we refuse to ever again farm out our democracy to those unworthy of our trust, then the future will be much better than the past.

4/ Democracy doesn’t work when it’s citizens become disengaged. Citizenship must become something we consider part of a meaningful and well lived life. So many of this have learned so much. America has been humbled, and in the final analysis that is not a bad thing.

You do more harm than good by spreading false hope. Choosing between two bullshit corporate candidates is not democracy. America has never had a Democracy at the federal level. THE PEOPLE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN RULED BY THE RICH.

America is not a democracy! If 70% of Americans want Medicare for all and Biden twists into something else he's a dictator.

We did not come within a 1,000 miles of "losing our democracy". Stop pushing this groundless, crazy narrative. At no time was there even the tiniest threat posed here.

We lost our democracy a long time ago, if we ever had it. Two rigged democratic primaries

Yep troops just left Somalia and now they’re going back. All dissent will now be censored. Gold, silver, and crypto are exploding and inflation is speeding up fast. The good ol days of 2008.
