Why hasn't Merrick Garland charged Trump with insurrection yet?
Is he hoping Trump will run again, so the Dems don't have to do anything to win?

Because the Democrats are measured, by the book, introspective and destined to lose every day of the week throughout eternity unless they change their playbook.
It is possible to look strong while maintaining empathy. It is possible to wield a sharp blade if it's used with wisdom. It is acceptable to call others to account for their pasts rather than leave karma to the universe. It's okay to be Mad Dad once in a while.
Honestly, I wonder if the Dems don't need a solid Red Wedding event to solidify their base. Clear the boards. No more 10 years of legal maneuvering to punish what a 7-year-old could have identified in a minute. Done, gone, next. It's wise and noble to live peaceably and quietly, but when the lions come to eat, you act decisively or die.

@whowasthatmaskedman Every citizen should have that tattooed on them. It's absolutely the fault of both/all sides. Midterms are once again rolling around and once again we're seeing the success of some really vile people. I think that's a minority of the country, safely, but those who can direct the tides seldom seem to have it in them.
We treat government like it's a mythical uber-machine. It's simply the neatly packaged workings of the nation's true soul - the people. Government is only a set of working gears. We're the fuel that feeds it.

@Graylight I agree. One thing has been commented on in the wash up from Australias election. That is the rejection by the voters of the influence of the Murdoch/Fox/Sky media and its bias by the voters. I really cant see the day when that happens in America. But it is possibly a snapshot of the widening gap between America and "civilised" nations.
