The opportunity to heal the nation has officially passed.

[berg80]

As much as I respect Kamala Harris, and Dem's generally, for following the tradition of a peaceful transfer of power, yesterday left me wanting. Trumps electoral certification had, for me, the uncomfortable feeling of acquiescence. As though he was being rewarded for the most egregious violation of the presidential oath of office in history.

Lest we forget, this happened after trump's mob attacked the Capital, and metaphorically the country, 4 years ago. Repub's having no problem with turning their backs on what had been the crowning achievement of American democracy. Respect for the will of the people.

Many of those Repub's who tried to enable the 01/06/2021 act of treason have been re-elected. Most notably the man behind the scheme to install himself as the unelected prez. Highlighting the difficulty the nation is having, and will have, when only one party respects the Constitution.

What would the nation healing itself have looked like? Repub's sticking with their initial reaction of horror to trump's plot to end the constitutional order by impeaching him. Kevin McCarthy not trying to sabotage the 1/6 committee's congressional investigation. Main stream Repub's accepting the overwhelming evidence revealed by the investigation. The POT becoming the GOP again. trump announcing his candidacy in the 2024 election being soundly rejected as an insult to all patriotic Americans and an affront to those grounded in reality. But that didn't happen.

As a reminder of what happened 4 years ago I was hoping a small band of congressional Dem's would take the symbolic action of not voting to certify the election yesterday. Releasing a statement making it clear they were not contesting the election result but instead wanted to note the incredible bravery of Capital Police officers in the face of trump's mob. Condemn the votes of the 147 Repub's in 2021 who supported the insurrection. And reiterate unequivocally that trump is unfit to serve as prez. If for no other reason than out of respect for the half of the country who recognize it's the truth.

So are you planning on going to the mattresses, or the barricades?

 

[Thunk]

Lets be clear on one single point.

If "MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN" is a controversial statement to you...Then there is no possible common ground we can find!

Any "opportunity of healing" was dead long ago!

Then they say "healing" they mean "get in the boxcar".

Republicans can heal the nation. Democrats keep picking at the scab.

She did what she could by fulfilling her constitutional role in the certification process. Healing the nation was largely up to Repubs but the time has passed.

Republicans can heal the nation.

Too late. The wound inflicted on the nation by trump's criminality will continue to fester until trump is held accountable for his crimes.

If she had managed to win the popular vote and not the Electoral College we would be in a very different situation right now.

Or if any of the swing States were even remotely close and challengeable.

First Democrats need to be punished, suffer and cry, then we can discuss healing. Did Dems really think there would be no consequences?

Republicans have no desire to heal the nation – they seek to divide the American people with a campaign of disinformation and lies, they work to sow conflict and discord, and they thrive on the chaos and confusion perceived to benefit Republican candidates.

Republican disinformation and lies about the 1/6 rightwing domestic terrorist attack on America’s democracy is among the more infamous examples.

 

[berg80]

Republicans have no desire to heal the nation

Their sole desire is for the power to rule it. Despite a majority of Americans being against their policy positions.

 

[whitehall]

Lefties disappointed at the peaceful certification?

but even if she was elected she wouldnt be healing this country...

 

[dblack]

It's totally possible. But government has no incentive to do so. We're going to have to fix it ourselves.

 

[berg80]

Lefties disappointed at the peaceful certification?

That it was peaceful? No. That trump was re-elected after his multiple acts of criminality and treason against the country? Yes.
