One year ago, a violent attack on our Capitol made it clear just how fragile the American experiment in democracy really is. Here’s my statement on what the anniversary means, and what we need to do today.
@BarackObama I can speak for all Americans and say we want you to come back
@BarackObama Totally agree of course, but you didn’t offer the only solution. VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO!
@BarackObama To be fair American democracy has always been very flawed. Gerrymandering, every state having equal representation in the senate regardless of its population, the elected president could theoretically win the election with what, like 30% of the popular vote?
@BarackObama Democrats, and people who want democracy to remain our form of government need to realize that we will lose democracy if republicans are elected. I believe anyone who votes for republicans either wants a white ruled government at any cost, or is in denial.
@BarackObama A violent, unnecessary attack. I hope the consequences are swift for those involved.
@BarackObama @TeamPelosi It always seems D’s are doing what they accuse R’s of doing….why is that?
@BarackObama Fragile? How fragile could it be if you couldn’t even break it?
@BarackObama Who agrees we must commemorate January 6 by EXPELLING every lawmaker who INCITED the insurrection? ✋
@BarackObama Quit saying we are a Democracy. You taught Constitution law. You know we are a Constitutional Republic. A dictatorship might be a Democracy. Is that what you are aiming for? Federalizing elections would lean that way.
