Democrats have been taking shortcuts to justice for political expediency. One of the latest examples is the Democrats who voted for the Laiken Riley Act, and votes to confirm trump cabinet members. The GOPs turned minority power into this regime by leveraging racism and greed and duped Democrats.

This country is doomed. Justice will come in the elimination of our species.
