The only people they impeach after leaving office and get away with are Trump.

Both sides protect their people.

Kinda why the report on Cuomo was scathing towards a whole bunch of others on his staff for helping hush these up over the years and resulting resignations.

You'll never find deeper hypocrisy than in politics.

Silly leftist, it's the right of the people to decide who gets elected.

It's not the right of the legislature to proactively pick and choose who may run.

What is the name of the fantasy world you live on?

Here in America, the people do not pick who is elected or policy. Look at the effects of gerrymandering, the electoral college and the skewed representation of the Senate towards rural areas.

Look at Bush v Gore how was that decided? By popular vote or did the Supreme Court and an official in Florida decide?

Look at the data on campaign spending and how often the campaign that spends the most wins.

It slants it. Eventually I am hoping our supreme court sets limits on this.

In a state ran by the his own brother, and Roger Stone pulling the fake riot nonsense. It was insane. I mean its a day ending in y these days, but back then? Yeah. Roger Stones always been a bad person.

Money works to a point, there are some decent studies on this. Money can move a vote by about 5%. After that as long as the other side has a reasonable amount of funding. But not much more.

Id put us at about 60% of a full democracy sadly. The money, gerrymandering, and propaganda? Hurts us.

There's this thing called the Constitution. You might want to read it.
