I share your rage, but even if your suggested response were practicable, it would have the opposite effect. I know it's hard to get our minds around, but what is most likely to drive the vote in November is the economy, or rather the public's perception of it. The worse it is, the more they will blame the Dems as the party in power and give the House and Senate over to the GOP. If that happens, as pundits keep telling us is likely, then it won't matter what the Jan. 6 Committee has uncovered and the wave of fascism will be unstoppable. Even if we're frustrated with the Dems, we have to stop making the perfect the enemy of the good and get out the Democratic votes. Our lives and freedom literally depend on it.
