See Michael Green's comment up-thread. He says that Mitt Romney, Susan Collins, and Lisa Murkowski are accessories to "these actions" because they haven't said they're voting for Harris. Referent for "these actions" is unclear but I'm guessing it's the crap that Trump, Vance, and their anonymous supporters have been pulling in Springfield, OH. Whatever, it's a non sequitur. (Latin term for "it doesn't follow.") Mr. Green's grasp of the law might land him an AG appointment in an alternate-universe Trump administration.

Sorry, Michael is right. They know what is happening, they choose to remain silent so the rest of the party isn't mean to them. They're fucking cowards and their actions over the past 9 years are why we have what we have. Rmoney, Murkowski and Collins - all worthless scum and by their silence they condone what is happening.

DonтАЩt forget Georgie Bush who has said he wonтАЩt comment even though his VP Chaney did. First time Georgie didnтАЩt listen to his VP.

I was wondering about Dubya, who remains an unindicted war criminal. who needs him? it's not like anybody under thirty remembers him. and I'm not so crazy about about finding Dick Cheney on my team.

Romney's always been my idea of an empty suit. it's nice he's got all this "religious faith" but Mormonism has always struck me as religious kitsch; a way to justify Joseph Smith's egomania and general horniness.

Sorry, no, Michael is wrong and so are you. This is straight out of the McCarthy playbook: if you don't condemn whoever he's condemning, you're a fellow traveler if not an outright communist. Some people -- especially white middle-class-and-up straight people -- have finally figured out that the country is in trouble because all of a sudden they realize that *they* are threatened too. Look up Pastor Niem├╢ller's famous quote (it begins with "First they came for the trade unionists") and see if it doesn't apply.

It will take nothing less than all hands on deck, and that means anyone not on the chump crazy train. No spectators. No bystanders.
