Dems have the Senate majority for the next 60-plus days. Use it! Not just to confirm judges. Hold your own pre-confirmation hearings. Foreign Relations on Tulsi Gabbards ties to Russia. Intel Committee onJohn Ratliffe's misconduct on intelligence in Trump's first term. 1/
@Robert_E_Kelly Realistically we cannot. It’s in the Constitution and we would need an amendment for that. Zero chance that 2/3 of both houses vote for that, let alone the required number of states.
Our nation’s democratic system functioned last night and we have a new President-elect. All Americans are bound, whether we like the outcome or not, to accept the results of our elections. We now have a special responsibility, as citizens of the greatest nation on earth, to do everything we can to support and defend our Constitution, preserve the rule of law, and ensure that our institutions hold over these coming four years. Citizens across this country, our courts, members of the press and those serving in our federal, state and local governments must now be the guardrails of democracy.
I’m a highly educated white woman. My privilege means that I will personally dodge a bunch of what’s coming. But for my brothers and sisters who are minorities, disabled, or poor, things are about to get bad. I’m sorry. #Election2024
When we get through this we need to address the electoral college. This election should never have been close and it only is because of this archaic and anti-democratic system.
