Justice matters.

If a Democratic Party candidate for the Presidency promises to demolish all the pedofelon's

vanity projects and uses the DOJ to prosecute him (even "post-mortem" if he died) and all his "coterie" of so-called (not) "Christian" (or not) accomplices, including Todd Blanche (in a Nuremberg-style Court, where International Law as well as the US Criminal Code will be followed), I think he/she will win the nomination AND the election in a HUGE landslide.

Note: Well, as long as she/he follows through with the promises...

I suggest a real successful prosecutor like Glenn Kirschner, who served for 30 years as a federal prosecutor, homicide prosecutor and Army JAG to lead her/his DOJ.

Who's with me (since the pedofelon war criminal a la Hitler & Mussolini made the precedent of not following the convention and norm that the President of the United States used to respect the DOJ independence)?

Guaranteed election win.

1. Just promising to restore the destruction would help

The problem is, we are not dealing with rational people. They believe, I’m sure of it, that if they vote Democratic, God will smite them.

2. They constitute a minority (but they vote in droves)

All the tens of millions who never vote should be convinced they must register to vote this time or the democratic republic is finished and they will need more than two jobs (given that AI and robots will not take them all) or be on their own demise path.

the wealthiest and politically well-connected. Any candidate who promises to "look forward, not backwards" will lose my vote; we cannot move forward till we clean up this mess. We can't survive as a democracy if we allow these criminals to go unpunished.

5. Pedo is too old for actual prison.

Unless a nursing home with cheap gold crap all around him would feel like well-deserved "prison" ...

Judges don't send 87-years-old felons to prison these days, I mean especially those with "money" ...

"No one is above the Law", it was just that a MYTH.

He will not see the inside of a jail or prison cell.

Maybe Judges should use some "AI" to speed up their rulings... instead of delaying, delaying, and delaying like justice is nothing "urgent" ...

Just saying.

must be prosecuted and imprisoned.

Otherwise, they get away with their crimes and abuses, and no amount of a Nixon-style fixes will help. Afterall, the conservatives started dismantling those so-called protections the second they were implemented. They pushed and pushed and here we are today.

9. Court expansion is far more important than revenge politics

Investigating and prosecuting the crimes of this administration is a given- I can’t imagine any serious candidate saying “we have to look forward, not back” on that issue (well, maybe Rahm would), so I don’t think it’s going to be a centrepiece of anyone’s campaign, or shouldn’t be.

People want economic relief and a restoration of lost rights.

None of that is possible without expanding the court, and killing the filibuster to do so.

Justice matters.

11. Thank you. So the promises must include expanding the court...

and killing the filibuster.

Pedo will not be sentenced to prison (too sick in the head and everywhere else too), BUT his Republicrook accomplices will...

They have to be severely punished for life to set a precedent (although there were some of these examples during Nixon's crooked regime but now obviously forgotten by the current Fascist cabinet).

His name must be removed from all buildings, especially the Kennedy center.
