LONG THREAD 01/ What I would have done differently. I will start from the Bush era because that’s when I really started paying attention
a)investigated and impeached the Bush admin
b)investigated fox news and its ill-gotten variance to determine who/what crafted their agenda.

02/ Foreign interests or corporations (Israel’s right wing, Russia, China, Sauds?) News corp was caught doing all sorts of things in the UK (Blackmailing pols, interfering/hobbling criminal investigations). They have caused a lot of damage and have always been low hanging fruit.
03/ Or Domestic private interests tilting public perception to support their companies (Sacklers, Kochs, Mercers, Waltons)
c)fight like hell to bring back the fairness doctrine.

04/ d) A minute after Obama was elected, his entire machine which had been hoping to continue to work on getting democrats elected was dismantled and all the good people were replaced by the same old dems that the Obama admin was supposed to be a reaction to.
05/ I would have continued those operations which encouraged Black voting, etc. Stacy Abrams (AGAINST THE WISHES OF LEADERSHIP has continued with this to great success. Otherwise Democrats abandoned entire chunks of the country
06/ e) Embraced the #BLM movement. Pelosi used her campaign purse to pressure members into not supporting Black causes (and u can duplicate this for climate change and a dozen other causes) with the excuse being “we don’t want to alienate moderate (aka republican) voters
07/ f) Pelosi has long whipped for “moving forward” instead of pursuing criminal justice. Congressional investigations into the Bush criminals might have led to referrals to the DOJ for prosecution. By not doing so, all of the crimes were normalized and codified. TORTURE!
08/ There are tapes of children being raped in front of their parents in black sites by CIA contractors. Seymour Hersh has reported on this
g)All of the monsters from behind the scenes of the Bush admin were allowed to morph into “respectable” resisters for Trump,

09/ despite the fact that they got us here. Michael Steel on #MSNBC every day? Fuck all that.
h)Fought back against gerrymandering. This isn’t a new problem. What have Pelosi democrats EVER done on this issue besides give in when elections were stolen and wag fingers?

10/ (See the Bush elections as early examples. Abrams loss as a later one
i)Once Trump was elected and especially after we voted in a blue wave for accountability (AGAIN!) SERIOUS investigations (Not the limited crap and waiting for Mueller)

11/ against first Barr, then Pence, Nunez, Jordan, Graham etc should have begun with ready-made criminal indictment referral packages to be held until a change in presidents.
j)And finally, after Biden was elected, preparations for CRIMINAL investigations should have commenced.

12/ Did you know that the latest impeachment managers were specifically told not to implicate the complicit republican jurors?
Its been bad leadership since day one. And that’s the short list/. I type fast and ur worth the effort

NRA was supported by Russians who have no gun rights. Millions were funneled to corrupt politicians. We might now, finally be getting some variant of criminal investigation but i would be shocked if that sent the politician criminals who benefited to prison
