  I think we can walk and chew gum at the same time. I want justice. I want future administrations to worry about there being consequences to their actions.

  Please review what happened in 1974. Huge blue wave, six years later we got Reagan. Do not make the mistake that they did in focussing on bipartisanship and compromising.

  Everyone is talking about affordability, healthcare, etc. BUT, I want to remind everyone, that the number one polled concern of the US population was corruption in government, number one!!! That doesn't mean retribution, that means creating rules that won't allow corruption, and that will bring about appropriate consequences for current and future officials breaking the law!

  We aren’t finished yet.  We have to get through the next two years.  Steven Miller is very scary.

  Why does the Party keep harping on the "retribution bad" thing? It's not retribution; it's justice.

  I appreciate the way he answers questions - he doesn&apos;t dodge. &nbsp;And he answers intelligently!

  I want all of the leaders who broke the law in the open to be prosecuted immediately. That’s not retribution

  We want justice, not retribution. We also want real leadership with some actual teeth, no more feckless leaders like Jeffries or Schumer.

  The whole reason it got this bad is that reconstruction was abandoned too soon after the civil war and traitors weren&apos;t charged with treason. If you don&apos;t punish acting against the American people it is de facto encouragement.

  We don&apos;t want compromise. We want justice. This regime has destroyed too many lives; caused too much suffering and pain. These wounds will not heal unless the people who caused them are held accountable. If the democratic party does not capitalize on the massive mandate it&apos;s been given to go after all the corruption &amp; the blatant disregard for the law, then the party will face the reverse of what happened during the midterms.
