@mehdirhasan Russia signed the Budapest Memorandum in 1994 guaranteeing the territorial integrity of Ukraine.
By ignoring its signature on that piece of paper, Russia's signature on a new piece of paper would be just as worthless.
@RepAdamSchiff If American voters didn't want people who participated in the 2021 coup to be in the House, then they could have voted them out in 2022.
American voters made their choice. Now we all have to live with it.
@DavidBegnaud In 2016, P01135809 won the presidential election with the support of about 26% of eligible voters.
His opponent, Hillary Clinton, received the support of about 28% of eligible voters, 2% more than he got.
She was declared the loser of the election.
Democracy? No.
@mehdirhasan Also how does America ever become a stable democracy if a third or more of the electorate supports fascism, the number grows by the day (thanks Facebook and Twitter for spreading hate), and nothing is done to address that?
@mehdirhasan What is the definition of democracy? Is a country a democracy just by having elections? Or is there also a requirement that the candidate who gets the most votes in an election must be declared the winner in order for the country to be called a democracy?
@SethAbramson It has been obvious since long before 2016 that P01135809 is a narcissistic sociopath.
The 63 million who voted for him that year, and the 74 million who voted for him in 2020, knew what he was when they cast their ballots.
@tedlieu If Americans wanted a government that works then they wouldn't have handed control of the House to the party that failed at executing a simple coup less than 2 years prior.
@mehdirhasan FYI P01135809 is a narcissistic sociopath and his reaction is 100% consistent with that mental disorder. Anyone who is surprised by this revelation hasn't been paying attention for the past 8 years.
@chrislhayes Why would anyone in Ohio vote for the party that attempted a coup to install a dictator just a couple of years ago? Seems like a lot of people in Ohio don't much care about democracy.
@robreiner "American Democracy" should not be confused with "democracy". In the latter the candidate who receives 3 million more votes than her opponent would win the election.
