And they called a new election so representative democracy isn't completely dead yet.
Except that, before losing their super majority, the general assembly passed a law forcing a primary in this situation, so Harris can get primaried out and they get a fresh, non-cheating candidate.

So you're saying the guy who cheated should automatically get a second shot? I get tactically that might be better for a GOP victory but I'm not sure it's the wrong thing to do.

That's a fair point. I just view him as a guaranteed loss.
I guess he's also starting to struggle with dementia, so he's probably not running anyhow.

The way he keeps talking about his son is really wild. Like, he's your son, wtf are you doing? I'm shocked his son isn't like "hey, I got more guys" after all that.

I don't understand the Ilhan Omar controversy. Are we not allowed to criticize the Israeli government without being anti-Semitic?
