From Dave Dubya:
Let’s celebrate our limited victory, but be clear in this perspective.
We need to understand the Right will never stop their voter suppression. They will never surrender in their war on democracy. Fascism is always lurking in the resentments and anger of white nationalism. Corporate interests will always try to dominate our government. Hatred and division will always be stoked by Republicans and the far Right. As long as the Senate is controlled by Republicans we will have nothing close to a representative republic.
“Consent of the governed” is in the Declaration of Independence. The founders blew it with their compromise with slave states that produced the electoral college.
