But even if Republicans refuse to convict Clarence Thomas, RAISING THE ISSUE OF IMPEACHMENT is significant because it makes the public pay attention to the crisis.
Linda Brewster
21:51
Ya think?
Robert Brown
22:16
Trump suffered not at all from being impeached, it seems.
Glen Anderson

Big Money in elections corrupts all levels of our governments. Anyone anywhere can watch my June TV program about this -- and/or read the thorough summary I typed up (along with links to supporting information).

Yvonne Brandon

I agree with Glenn however, there are not enough grass-roots donors to make up the difference in funds that republicans are getting.
Robert Brown
28:05
Dishonest TV ads are ubiquitous as well. They lie like crazy in accusing Democrats of being evil.
Kathryn Lewandowsky

Alaska jungle primary already happened. Sarah Palin won first place, but Democrat Al Gross is on the ballot, too. We should support him, although Sarah seems popular there.

A HUGE amount of Big Money bought the election that removed San Francisco's progressive prosecuting attorney.
Robert Brown

AT&T is also leading funder for OAN—the conservative news channel that supports Russia-supporting candidates. Clearly, AT&T wants to support anti-Democracy people.

Robert - CNN is also owned by ATT/ Warner
Robert Brown
46:47
OK.
Robert Brown
47:08
That doesn't make their support for conservative/right-wing causes any better.
Heidi Dragneff
48:18

Have we ever had a time when a Republican won the popular vote and lost the electoral college?
David Gordon
01:08:29
Andrew Jackson vs John Q Adams (wasn't quite Democrat and Republican, but rather a populist - Jackson vs an old school Aristocrat)
David Gordon
01:08:52
Jackson won the popular vote but Adams was elected. Jackson won both 4 years later.

Trumpism is the problem. He gave aggrieved people an opportunity to be "themselves."
USAIVA, Rich Stevenson
01:24:38
2010 Occupy Wall Street. Money controls public policy.
Bob Findlay
01:25:25
Agreed Linda, Trump is a symptom not a cause though he did create a "playbook" that others see as successful and now emulate and that influence shouldn't be ignored either
Linda Brewster
01:25:54
yup....
Linda Brewster
01:26:23
overturn corporate personhood...
Yvonne Brandon
01:27:36
Agree with Bob and Linda. Trump was a launch-pad for feelings that already existed. AKA...Trump AWAKENED a monster!!!!
Linda Brewster
01:28:04
Yes!!!!!
Bob Findlay
01:28:50
👏🏾
Linda Brewster

01:30:40
Worker organizing is on 🔥 right now, Starbucks, Amazon...
Linda Brewster
01:33:26
gotta go....
Cindy Black, Fix Democracy First
01:33:32
Thanks Linda!
Yvonne Brandon
01:33:33
Max is right! Their objective is to "disregard" the Will of the People.
Sue Hamilton

Good night all. See you next time!!
Yvonne Brandon
01:36:21
What web site?
Robert Brown
01:36:26
Starting with Barack Obama and continuing with Joe, the Republicans are just opposing everything that originates with Democrats.
Christy Bear
