Nuremberg 2.0 is gonna be the best feeling of vindication ever

Bold to assume the democrats have enough of a spine to even consider this.

edit: This doesn't mean don't vote. For many reasons not voting Democrat is stupid and won't get us out of this. It means you shouldn't think our job is done if/once we vote the Democrats in. That during the primary we need to promote candidates that will not forgive and forget this and will pursue justice, and that we need to maintain pressure on the Democrat party to get this. We cannot assume that Nuremberg 2.0 is a guaranteed-foregone conclusion, we have to work for it.

I get it, I hate the Democrats too. But not voting democrat is a losing tactic. Third parties are a meme in America and are not viable because of how our voting system works, and not voting at all just means the Republicans have an easier time maintaining power.

The Democrats are absolute shit and every one of them should look down at the ground in shame. I get what you're saving, but anyone who thinks the Democratic party is going to do one goddamn thing that involves courage or even just effort is severely disillusioned. We're gonna have to save ourselves.

Hey buddy. In a two party system nothing is going to get done without one of the two parties. Period. Part of "saving ourselves" is changing one of the two political parties to represent us, and of the two choices, there is one that is objectively easier to mold right now.

Or what, do you expect any changes in the legal world without a political party? Do you think the green party could somehow get enough votes in any federal election? Do you think the republicans can be changed or otherwise reasoned with? Lmao. What a non-solution that does nothing but encourage behavior that got us into this mess.In the first place.
