this person who worked with clinton, says the old guard democrats have failed, and should step aside, to detroy the Republican party.
"today's Democrats need to evolve, becoming "scorched-earth Democrats" who will burn today's Republican Party and its policies to the ground, offering no quarter or compromise..."
"But without accountability, there will be another Donald Trump. There will be another Bill Barr. We, the American people, will live in a world in which, if the president wins and has a majority in the Senate, the message will be clear: They are above the law. You can break the law. You can ignore subpoenas. You can ignore statutes. You can ignore norms. You can steal. You can work with our enemies. You can screw the American people. You can violate human rights on the border. You can throw children in cages. And you can do all that with complete impunity. If there is no accountability for the president and his party, then there will ultimately be no democracy in the United States.
"Should Donald Trump be prosecuted for crimes he's committed while president or before being president? Yes. Should members of his cabinet? Should members of his staff? Should members of the Senate and Congress who took money, who violated the law, who violated ethics guidelines, who adhered, aided and abetted to foreign powers? Yes! It has to happen. If it does not happen, regardless of how big a majority the Democrats win the election by, we will see such criminal behavior again because there will be a precedent. At some point in the future a president will say, "Look what Trump did. He didn't get held to account." Look at how they quashed
the investigation into the truth of Trump's obstruction of justice, which was there for all to see and which Mueller detailed. Or Trump's collusion with the Russians, or his cooperation with other foreign dictators. It will happen again.
