“Fortunately, they have a whole bevy of smart, competent candidates with substantive ideas.”

Like abolishing ICE, packing the SCOTUS, abandoning the Electoral College, and the voodoo economics of MMT? Please.

On September 14, 2012, the 225th anniversary of the Constitution, former U.S. Supreme Court Justice David Souter said that our republican government wasn’t threatened by foreign invasion or a military coup, but by civic ignorance. He said,

“I don’t believe that there is any problem of American government and American public life which is more significant than the prevalence of civic ignorance of the Constitution of the United States and the structure of government.”

Nowhere is that ignorance more evident than in today’s Democratic Party. With Republicans a close second.
