Say we make it through this with a damaged but intact democracy [View all]

I absolutely will not support any candidate who will not commit to prosecuting and holding these people accountable for their crimes and damage to this country and who will commit to banning Elon musk from ever holding a federal contract ever again. I want everyone who leaked one whisper of our national security to other countries imprisoned for the rest of their lives.
We will need to disinfect every piece of shit from this shitshow. Nothing else is acceptable.
