Does this guy totally ignore what happened a year ago, too?

Did you ignore what totally happened? Democracy prevailed.

Just came here to say that if your barometer of approval is against Donald Trump I'd say people need to do better. Joe's in the tank for a number of reasons - and one very important one isn't because everyone all of a sudden woke up one day more conservative. Big part of it is because the people left of Joe are all also highly disappointed and disapprove. That's my two cents. Good chance Trump may not be the nom in 2024, but that doesn't make Joe's chances better. At this rate I think he loses in 4 years because 1) R nom will be someone other than Trump 2) Dems do better on referendum with a nominee with juice/hopey changey schtick 3) there won't be a Trump to ignite anyone and everyone.

Gotta pray this 1/6 commission comes with so many receipts.

This is part of the problem democrats have. I've talked about this a lot in here. Republicans are better at getting everyone in their party to fall in line no matter what. Republicans, in general, just seem to not care about anything other than voting for the person with the R next to his name so it makes things much easier for that party. For example, the guy in here today seems upset that the jobs numbers are looking good right now. Something that's good for the country is not that great for his party so he's not happy. 

The dems, on the other hand, have a much bigger tent of waaaay more diverse people, which is great, but that also makes it more difficult for them to get their constituents to have the level of patience needed to stay focused on maintaining the longest view in the room. The change those on the far left want just cannot happen over night. It will take multiple election cycles.

Personally--I just wish people would make preserving our democracy priority number for the moment because if we cannot do that, nothing else will matter anyway. 

And I really hope Trump gets the nomination because, yeah I agree, someone like Desantis would have better chance of winning. 

Do you believe our democracy is in danger? Democrats are in full control of the national government. Are they failing at protecting or democracy? I had to hear for 4 years that Trump was destroying our democracy. If that was true, how did Democrats gain full power?

One of the key outputs of the select committee is intended to close the loopholes that are inherent in the Election Act of 1877.  So yes, that will definitely help protect democracy. 

Biden received the most votes of any President and is now the most powerful leader in the world. Damn those loopholes eh?

This is a joke, right?  It held because Pence did his duty.  What if a VP in the future takes a different course and tries to throw the electino to the House because they throw out electors?  It held because Raffensberger refused to do Trump's bidding.  What if the next Sec'y of State of a swing state bows to political pressure from either side?  The Bulwark had a good article talking about how if there were 5 more Guiliani's in teh mix, things may have been different.  I suggest you educate yourself on how many holes in the laws exist that need to be tightened. 

So 5 more Guilianni's would've made a difference to the 80 million that voted for Biden? I don't those 80 million would've just stood by and let that all happen.

I suggest you stop being afraid of the boogeyman because he ain't real.

Lol let's not act like this is the first time. I'm assuming these dipshits aren't familiar to you:

You are assuming correct.

I suggest you study history.  80 million people aren't going to rise up and take to the streets.  Subversion of the Constitution will appear legitimate to the ordinary,  disengaged voter. To argue that election laws don't need tweaking is either an attempt at gaslighting or a compete ignorance of the fragility of democracy. 

You're probably right. Democrats are lazy and wouldn't want to protest that their votes weren't counted.
