People need to be aware of how close we are to the edge, I agree. I'm hopeful and hoping that the ballot box will be enough. It will weaken the Democratic Republic even further if a solution is taken outside of its framework.

That doesn't mean of course that if it fails we shrug and say oh well. Weakened democracy is undesirable, but that's still vastly preferable to letting fascism win.

Again, agreed overall though.

We can’t go outside the system, I agree. I’m hoping the Biden admin has gamed out what another Jan 6 looks like and put plans in place. Next time, we can’t wait for judges to pass down verdicts. They’ll have to stop it as it happens.
