And how exactly would they BUY those conviction votes? Blackmail? Concede control of the Senate to the republicans?
I can't think of anything dems could offer that would sway enough votes... and the republicans would rather go down in history as partisan hacks than be run out of town by their own party and their constituents. Holding on to power is their #1 objective. They're not influenced by any other leverage.
I'm sorry the dems have disappointed you so much, but if you don't vote against the Nationalistic Authoritarian Zealot Incumbants (gee, is that an acronym? Hmmm), then you'll be complict in letting them regain and retain power.
You saw what we all saw. It's an open and shut case against Trump, with publicly available information. They didn't seem to have done any discovery beyond that, though, because they didn't want to win this case. What was Trump's role in the withholding of national guard? How about the planning? Nothing new came out about that. The case they made could have been made by any of us with a few hours research on YouTube. They didn't even call witnesses. Why?
Why don't I see anybody in the media calling out Republicans for being soft on terrorism? The democratic party can manage to get the media to circle the wagons against Bernie, and Booker, because somehow they thought McGrath would defeat McConnell, but they can't do it to force a clear message that Trump is a terrorist?
If those terrorists were brown, Biden would be declaring them enemy combatants, and sending the rangers after them. Can't do that to white people, apparently.
The 14th amendment has clear provisions for removing senators who take part in terrorism against the united states. I see no movement in that direction. If they did, they could at least take a clear majority in the senate.
I'm not buying their lame excuses, and you shouldn't, either. They are losing because they want to lose.
The party establishment needs McConnell, and Greene, and Cruz, and the rest of the boogeymen, to fund raise off of. It's all about bribes and patronage and keeping their positions so they can enrich themselves by insider trading on the stock market. They don't give a shit about you and me. Trump and his people are going to continue doing this, because the democratic party refuses to take domestic terrorism seriously.
