Maybe because too many Dem voters are so focused on what angers them they miss the good stuff.
Amplifying Democratic accomplishments helps the Democrats win.
One last point here, but an important one: each difference listed is not just a difference of degree (though Trump’s behavior was more damaging). Each difference is a *categorical* one that goes directly to the elements of the laws. Knowledge, intent, obstruction, discretion.
Facts:
1. The investigation into Trump began BEFORE he declared his candidacy. It is not about him running for office.
2. It isn't a Democratic "witch hunt". Wray was appointed as head of the FBI by Donald Trump.
3. If declaring a run for the presidency were to negate a criminal investigation, then everyone could avoid prosecution for a crime by simply declaring as a candidate for President.
4. Former leaders do not get a "Get out of Jail" card for crimes because they once led the government. Holding him accountable doesn't represent a "Two-tiered" justice system.

Folks, take Trump's name off of the indictment and place anyone else's name on it. Look at the facts objectively and then decide if that person should be prosecuted.
This is the action of a mature democracy, not a banana republic. NOT prosecuting him would be political. Prosecuting him is indicative of a justice system that works.
If the facts show he should go free, then he will. If they do not, then he won't.
He is innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
Let the system work.
And this goes for EVERY office holder in any political party.
Someone just attempted to SWAT my girlfriend.

When I was a kid growing up in the 80s and 90s my uncle Charlie was gay. My mom told us he had always been that way. She said when they were little her other brothers would be outside playing and Charlie would hang out with the sisters and play Barbies. I thought he talked funny. He usually grew his nails out. But my mom told me that's just who he was. We loved Charlie. We loved his crazy, loud friends. Sometimes we'd go to Pizza Hut in our small town where he worked and visit him. He was a great storyteller. When I was around 12 or 13 Charlie got sick. I remember my mom cleaned his mobile home with bleach and Lysol because he couldn't get healthy. Eventually he passed from tuberculosis and complications from AIDS. My mom said at the end there wasn't much left of him. It was a terrible way to die. And because of the time and place he died mostly alone. People were afraid to visit him. I remember relatives asking if they should disinfect the toilet after he used it. I think about my uncle Charlie all the time. I'm glad my mom introduced us to him. I'm glad he was part of our normal lives. I'm glad my sister and I grew up knowing he was a real, loving, caring, decent person. I'm glad my mom didn't try to tell us something was wrong with him. I wish everyone had an uncle Charlie. Maybe the world wouldn't be so full of hate and bigotry. Because he was impossible to hate. When I see people shooting up Bud Light cans and screaming about storytime I wish they knew my uncle Charlie.

Yet another horrific school shooting - guns #1 cause of death for children in US - but by all means let’s go back to talking about how bad TikTok and drag queens are for our kids. #FuckGuns
