The opportunity to heal the nation has officially passed.

[berg80]

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

Indeed we are. But in order to do so Repubs must give up believing trump won the 2020 election since that is the lie on which so many of their fatuous beliefs rely.

so what do the democrats have to give up?....

In order to do so, we need to give up on Republicans and Democrats. Their only interest is power. Kick them to the curb, update our election process so it doesn't lead us there again, and never look back.

 

[dblack]

so what do the democrats have to give up?....

See my sig.

 

[Anathema]

What would the nation healing itself have looked like?

Abraham Lincoln removing Union troops from Fort Sumter and recognizing the legitimacy of the CSA. Everything past that moment has been simply a continuation of the same conflict.

 

[Harry Dresden]

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.

shut the **** up jones your ******* party is the same way....divide people, sow conflict and discord,....and you are one of the biggest ones here....thats why you are a hypocrite....

 

[Frankenstein]

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. Dotard's 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.

You and your ilk have made your bed time to lie in it traitor!

So when do you stop believing women can have penises, coddling criminals reduces crime, and uncheck immigration policy results in controlled immigration?

You know, things that actually impact the nation and are cared about by voters?

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

Obama ripped off the scar or race relations.

 

[Rawley]

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.

Dude, your leader and your party had 4 years to bring us together. Instead they did everything in their power to divide us.

Are you declaring war?

 

[the watcher]

No one wants to "heal the nation", not the uniparty and certainly not the corporate shot callers. No one wants the populace on the same sheet of music, very bad for business.

 

[berg80]

In order to do so, we need to give up on Republicans and Democrats.

False equivalence # 27,875. Dem's didn't try to steal the 2020 election and have not denied the evidence of trump's crimes en masse.

Stow the "false equivalence" schtick. Neither party gives a single about unity and neither is capable of nominating candidates with that priority.
