Hey #BrianTylerCohen you are so helpful in keeping us "every day people" in the proverbial loop with things happening! I won't attempt to speak for everyone, but for myself at least, I will say I am so grateful for all the time, effort, care, work ethic, compassion, dedication and everything else you put in every single day. I'm SO SO GRATEFUL! #MarcElias so very grateful for you and all your amazing work across the country as well. I LOVE IT when the two of you get together also as I feel like some days I learn about Congress, more and more about committees, how they run, what they're for, how they play out from day to day, then other days I'm on #DemocracyDocket and feel like I have my own personal law school happening, but also learn about the courts and how things work there.

@@blnunya6689what does a map have to do with this? Land doesn't vote, people do, and if people want to live on the coast, why does their vote matter less? Your argument is the exact reason why the electoral college system is a failure.
Only 5 US Presidents were elected winning the electoral college and not the popular vote. 2 of these were in the last 20 years (Bush/Gore and Clinton/Trump). All it would do is let Californian Republicans have their vote count. Period.....
@@grimlicentia Wow....didn't think I needed to explain that I was referring to people in concentrated population areas. The map i was talking about shows how each county in America voted as far as party. If you look at that map you'll see a sea of red (Republicans) and patches of blue (democrats) mostly concentrated on the coasts.
It's good to finally here people saying we don't have to stand for this undemocratic nonsense. No amount of good faith and understanding will be enough for the Republican party. So can we all please stop pandering to them? It only emboldens them.
Yup,!! Lunatics are running the asylum!!! Thank you both for your efforts, and to all those who are commenting, listening, and part of this imperative struggle!!!!
I'm not a Democrat but I will be voting for the D party probably for the rest of my life because the Republican party has shown their true colors and are Anti-Americans and I will hold my nose and vote them out.
The interest of the Republic in preserving democracy and rule of law FAR outweigh the interest of the Republic's Executive branch in maintaining it's alleged unique criminal discretionary power and alleged resulting immunity. Even if such unique Executive discretionary power existed - which is highly debatable. Presidential executive interests, by definition, cannot exceed or somehow be privileged over interests foundational to the constitution and the Constitution of the Republic.
IMPORTANT : We’ve had this election already and the majority voted for law and order. It’s now time for Trump to face justice. He can bring any evidence he claims to have.

Is he a J6 sympathizer? Can we use the 14th amendment? How does that work with the "freedom caucus," they have all given aid?
Vote all Democrats on every ballots in every state as long as you can. The length of term for senators is 6 years, The House or congress 2 years. So have to find out how many years does say Marjorie Greene in our Congress has let and vote a Democrat in and so one for the next one to get out of office.
Of course that’s what happens in all of the other Democratic countries. This is why the republicans are trying to hold onto the BS Gerrymandering system. If it was popular vote, there would have been no President Dump in the first place.
It's absolutely disgusting that our representatives of "the people's house" have decided that they are the deciders, over the voters, courts etc if their guy doesn't get his way and become a dictator.
It's ultimately the Founders' fault for writing the constitution such that, constitutionally, they are the final deciders. and it's merely a matter of convention that they not cheat.

Ridiculous that we still have the Electoral College. If the Founders could have seen how it’s working out now, they would have figured out something else.
I think it is far past time to investigate the Republican party and hold them accountable for their actions. They have proven many things including engaging in insurrection and some giving aid to insurrection, gerrymandering in voting maps and attempting to interfere in judicial activities. Anyone facing investigation should be suspended from holding political activities and from the government offices until they receive clearance they have not engaged in any illegal activities this should help clean up politics so genuine politicians can get on with doing their job in representing the public legitimately
You might comfortably say that, but each state has different rules that govern who appears on their state ballot. Which in fact is why the Supreme Court will hear arguments soon on that very issue.
Well, that's useful. This twit has just announced another Insurrection. This means the authorities are now aware and can plan for the threatened event. I suppose the authorities could wait for a riot to kick off which would end in a bloodbath. Somehow I don't rate the chances of an armed rabble against your National Guard or military. The other option is to offer an amnesty to all those who were prepared to mount an Insurrection provided they surrendered their weapons. Any transgression on that part to result in a jail sentence. And there's always this blackmail threat to the Scotus which must be dealt with. Summary incarceration on remand until a trial. None of this allowing the bloke to continue stoking up the rabble against the government. They made that mistake with Trump. Even so there's going to be tears before bedtime. One can only wonder how you Americans let this happen in the first place.
@@robertalker652 but EVERY state is obligated to abide by the Constitution, including the 14th amendment. If the Sec. of State is pretending Conald didn't partake in insurrection, they definitely need to be voted out, if not impeached for the exact same amendment. Keeping Conald on the ballot violates their oath to uphold the Constitution and constitutes aiding and abetting his insurrection.
I feel that voting rules should be the same in every state. Why is it different in states? It's a all country vote for our President and government officials. All of our votes should count and not have electoral college vote in order for a party to try and manipulate the vote to be unfair to all of the people. It just give a party another way of cheating.
As a former, long-time, 2nd generation Republican, I can very easily say, that really is amazing, that the Republican party, has eroded to such a low point. they were the ones who were all, "Law and Order", "Protect the Constitution!", "Protect our rights as Americans!"...has slowly evolved into a modern version of the Nazi party. And I'm quite serious when I say this. My father fought in WWII, and my father studied who Hitler was and how he came into power. What Republicans have been engaging in...is exactly what kicked off Hitler's Fascist regime. You should NEVER be loyal to a political figure or party....to your nation, only. Massey should be bounced from Congress for this. he's threatening...the breaking of laws, in order for Republicans/Trump to gain and maintain power. Boebert thinks that the "separation of church and state" which IS clearly spelled out in the Constitution....is "nonsense", and that "the Church should be ruling government. and not the other way around". You have Republicans who KNEW trump was bad news, but because he had big voting numbers...and wanting to keep their cushy jobs....tossed out there integrity(assuming that they even possessed any), abandoned their sense of duty and morality...and backed a known criminal...Trump...someone who tried to overturn the VOTE OF THE AMERICN PEOPLE...and they still do. Massey...is a sad example of that.
Yep. And many in congress and state governments are aware they were complicit in the insurrection and subject to a second round of indictments...so they double down hoping to win and get pardons or shut down justice. So they threaten another insurrection or civil war...hoping to get the extreme court to be complicit also, as they were chosen to do.
Very well said and to the point. Unbelievable to think that one criminal conman can bring down a formerly great country- with the eager help of the MAGARepublicans in Congress and FOX non news. All the opinion hosts on FOX should be indicted especially after they were forced to admit under oath in the Dominion lawsuit that they knowingly lied to their viewers. Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch should be indicted with them for the harm their acknowledged lies have done to the US.
Yep, that's right. Could you imagine if Trump and his attorneys where not allowed to use our constitution and democracy in any of their trials. They would go even more insane knowing how democracy and the constitution will help them. Trump wants to take them away from us just to have all the power of the people of our country just like his buddy's Putin and Kim and XI the dictators of their countries.
Could you imagine if Trump and his attorneys where not able to use our democracy and constitution for their cases since Trump wants to take it away from the people. See how he goes insane not have thoughs rights just for him and his cases. Insane in their membrane.
If Republicans/MAGA/Trump win, we all lose! If Republicans/MAGA/Trump win, we will never get the chance to vote again! Don't get stuck with totalitarianism! VOTE BLUE! VOTE BLUE! VOTE BLUE!
Of course, the problem is, if Trump loses in Nov 2024, he may "think" he "won" and January 6th, 2025, we may have another Insurrection, that is REALLY an "Insurrection"! And Trump would have succeeded in "Crossing the American Rubicon".
Knowing that Marc and his team are on these issues gives me a sense of calm that would otherwise slide into dread. So thank you Marc and thank you Brian.
One of the more concerning things is how, as you said, the GQP is so willing to ignore laws and norms to get their way. Just look at Issue 1 in Ohio's recent election. Nearly 57% of voters enshrined the right to an abortion in the Ohio constitution, and the first action of the Ohio GOP was to try to figure out how to stop its implementation. “The Ohio General Assembly shall have the exclusive authority over implementing Ohio Issue 1,” the draft says. “All jurisdiction is hereby withdrawn from and denied to the Courts of Common Pleas and all other courts of the State of Ohio.” It's insane.
Thank you, Mark! Exactly, “what are they saying in diners?”!! Since when has that been what lawmakers and justices had to be supremely mindful of? Very memorable review of the new status quo double standard for the conduct of the autocratic party that legacy media have been too willing to accept as a given and too reluctant to challenge.
Another reason to do away with the Electoral College. Any time a presidential candidate wins through the electoral college but loses the popular vote then sometimes millions of citizens' votes do not count. Logic... pure and simple.
That would mean a few cities would decide an election over the majority of the people in the country - across all states and regions. No...the Electoral College means equal representation. I don't want LA, NY, and Chicago deciding the president for all the other 47 states.
@@marywallace4086 It means that those in rural areas have a voice in elections. Different locations have different needs and problems. That isn't a hard concept to grasp. But if our country operated as our founding fathers intended, the presidential election would be inconsequential, and States would retain their power and local control. States created the Federal government, ceded their sovereignty to it, and it is like the child telling the parents what to do now.
I started to make small donations plus the $3.00 fee to various new and existing Democrats running for office in 2024. This small task helps me feel that I am doing something to secure our democracy.
Are the sane republican voters paying attention to what their party has become? I understand they want to be party loyal but the Republican Party needs to have a kick in the ass to get their shit together and stop this madness.

Yeah...let's have every president from here on out elected by New York and California with no regard for the rest of the country. Go look at a county by county map of the 2016 election....you'll understand why we need the electoral college.
@@blnunya6689 I don't think pandering to the purple states has worked out for the rural areas lately.
@@blnunya6689what does a map have to do with this? Land doesn't vote, people do, and if people want to live on the coast, why does their vote matter less? Your argument is the exact reason why the electoral college system is a failure.
Only 5 US Presidents were elected winning the electoral college and not the popular vote. 2 of these were in the last 20 years (Bush/Gore and Clinton/Trump). All it would do is let Californian Republicans have their vote count. Period.....
@@grimlicentia Wow....didn't think I needed to explain that I was referring to people in concentrated population areas. The map i was talking about shows how each county in America voted as far as party. If you look at that map you'll see a sea of red (Republicans) and patches of blue (democrats) mostly concentrated on the coasts.
It's good to finally here people saying we don't have to stand for this undemocratic nonsense. No amount of good faith and understanding will be enough for the Republican party. So can we all please stop pandering to them? It only emboldens them.

I'm not a Democrat but I will be voting for the D party probably for the rest of my life because the Republican party has shown their true colors and are Anti-Americans and I will hold my nose and vote them out.
The interest of the Republic in preserving democracy and rule of law FAR outweigh the interest of the Republic's Executive branch in maintaining it's alleged unique criminal discretionary power and alleged resulting immunity. Even if such unique Executive discretionary power existed - which is highly debatable. Presidential executive interests, by definition, cannot exceed or somehow be privileged over interests foundational to the constitution and the Constitution of the Republic.

Vote all Democrats on every ballots in every state as long as you can. The length of term for senators is 6 years, The House or congress 2 years. So have to find out how many years does say Marjorie Greene in our Congress has let and vote a Democrat in and so one for the next one to get out of office.
I realize it probably will never happen, but wouldn't going to a popular vote solve this? This whole Electorate System seems so inane.
Of course that’s what happens in all of the other Democratic countries. This is why the republicans are trying to hold onto the BS Gerrymandering system. If it was popular vote, there would have been no President Dump in the first place.

It's absolutely disgusting that our representatives of "the people's house" have decided that they are the deciders, over the voters, courts etc if their guy doesn't get his way and become a dictator.
It's ultimately the Founders' fault for writing the constitution such that, constitutionally, they are the final deciders. and it's merely a matter of convention that they not cheat.

Republicans always talk about state’s rights but not when it comes to 45!

Republicans don't actually care about states rights, that's just what they say when they're not in charge at the federal level
Or when it comes to ANYTHING they don't agree with!

Ridiculous that we still have the Electoral College. If the Founders could have seen how it’s working out now, they would have figured out something else.
The electoral college was an amendment to the constitution.
Brian, I saw you on MSNBC!!! I am so excited for you!!! Congratulations and best wishes!!!
I think it is far past time to investigate the Republican party and hold them accountable for their actions. They have proven many things including engaging in insurrection and some giving aid to insurrection, gerrymandering in voting maps and attempting to interfere in judicial activities. Anyone facing investigation should be suspended from holding political activities and from the government offices until they receive clearance they have not engaged in any illegal activities this should help clean up politics so genuine politicians can get on with doing their job in representing the public legitimately
States are in charge of who is on the ballot.
Yet not in the minds of these nutters.
They don't really understand "democracy".
You might comfortably say that, but each state has different rules that govern who appears on their state ballot. Which in fact is why the Supreme Court will hear arguments soon on that very issue.
Well, that's useful.
This twit has just announced another Insurrection.
This means the authorities are now aware and can plan for the threatened event.
I suppose the authorities could wait for a riot to kick off which would end in a bloodbath.
Somehow I don't rate the chances of an armed rabble against your National Guard or military.
The other option is to offer an amnesty to all those who were prepared to mount an Insurrection provided they surrendered their weapons.
Any transgression on that part to result in a jail sentence.
And there's always this blackmail threat to the Scotus which must be dealt with.
Summary incarceration on remand until a trial.
None of this allowing the bloke to continue stoking up the rabble against the government.
They made that mistake with Trump.
Even so there's going to be tears before bedtime.
One can only wonder how you Americans let this happen in the first place.
@@robertalker652 but EVERY state is obligated to abide by the Constitution, including the 14th amendment.
If the Sec. of State is pretending Conald didn't partake in insurrection, they definitely need to be voted out, if not impeached for the exact same amendment.
Keeping Conald on the ballot violates their oath to uphold the Constitution and constitutes aiding and abetting his insurrection.
I feel that voting rules should be the same in every state. Why is it different in states? It's a all country vote for our President and government officials. All of our votes should count and not have electoral college vote in order for a party to try and manipulate the vote to be unfair to all of the people. It just give a party another way of cheating.
As a former, long-time, 2nd generation Republican, I can very easily say, that really is amazing, that the Republican party, has eroded to such a low point. they were the ones who were all, "Law and Order", "Protect the Constitution!", "Protect our rights as Americans!"...has slowly evolved into a modern version of the Nazi party. And I'm quite serious when I say this. My father fought in WWII, and my father studied who Hitler was and how he came into power. What Republicans have been engaging in...is exactly what kicked off Hitler's Fascist regime. You should NEVER be loyal to a political figure or party....to your nation, only. Massey should be bounced from Congress for this. he's threatening...the breaking of laws, in order for Republicans/Trump to gain and maintain power. Boebert thinks that the "separation of church and state" which IS clearly spelled out in the Constitution....is "nonsense", and that "the Church should be ruling government. and not the other way around". You have Republicans who KNEW trump was bad news, but because he had big voting numbers...and wanting to keep their cushy jobs....tossed out there integrity(assuming that they even possessed any), abandoned their sense of duty and morality...and backed a known criminal...Trump...someone who tried to overturn the VOTE OF THE AMERICN PEOPLE...and they still do. Massey...is a sad example of that.
Check out „Project 2025“ - Trump will become the new Adolf Hitler of the United States, and Project 2025 is the MAGA version of „Mein Kampf“.
The gop party is desceased. The faux gop reps is autocrat,,unhinged traitors.
Yep. And many in congress and state governments are aware they were complicit in the insurrection and subject to a second round of indictments...so they double down hoping to win and get pardons or shut down justice. So they threaten another insurrection or civil war...hoping to get the extreme court to be complicit also, as they were chosen to do.
My dad stormed Omaha beach so that these reprobates can stir up our democracy in favor of a fascist regime? A disgrace to our veterans and the U.S
Very well said and to the point. Unbelievable to think that one criminal conman can bring down a formerly great country- with the eager help of the MAGARepublicans in Congress and FOX non news. All the opinion hosts on FOX should be indicted especially after they were forced to admit under oath in the Dominion lawsuit that they knowingly lied to their viewers. Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch should be indicted with them for the harm their acknowledged lies have done to the US.
These people are doing the electorate a favor by showing everyone exactly who and what they are.
Unfortunately They are also doing exactly what their constituents want.
I am so very happy that Marc Elias is "on our side." He's a "very stable genius." That other guy. He's nuts.

Mr. ELIAS. patriot and Hero
One of the more concerning things is how, as you said, the GQP is so willing to ignore laws and norms to get their way. Just look at Issue 1 in Ohio's recent election. Nearly 57% of voters enshrined the right to an abortion in the Ohio constitution, and the first action of the Ohio GOP was to try to figure out how to stop its implementation.
“The Ohio General Assembly shall have the exclusive authority over implementing Ohio Issue 1,” the draft says. “All jurisdiction is hereby withdrawn from and denied to the Courts of Common Pleas and all other courts of the State of Ohio.”
It's insane.
Ignorance is violent.
Thank you, Mark! Exactly, “what are they saying in diners?”!! Since when has that been what lawmakers and justices had to be supremely mindful of? Very memorable review of the new status quo double standard for the conduct of the autocratic party that legacy media have been too willing to accept as a given and too reluctant to challenge.
Thomas Massie is a wolf in sheep’s clothing, but that’s an insult to wolves.
None of them are wearing sheep’s clothing, they’re all wolves (fascists) and don’t care who knows it.
Meanwhile, even the sheep are saying that's BAA-AA-D
Violent threat from any federal employee must be prosecuted immediately.
Another reason to do away with the Electoral College. Any time a presidential candidate wins through the electoral college but loses the popular vote then sometimes millions of citizens' votes do not count. Logic... pure and simple.
That would mean a few cities would decide an election over the majority of the people in the country - across all states and regions. No...the Electoral College means equal representation. I don't want LA, NY, and Chicago deciding the president for all the other 47 states.
@@troutonsteroids what exactly is equal when half a million voters have more power than a million or more voters
@@marywallace4086 It means that those in rural areas have a voice in elections. Different locations have different needs and problems. That isn't a hard concept to grasp. But if our country operated as our founding fathers intended, the presidential election would be inconsequential, and States would retain their power and local control. States created the Federal government, ceded their sovereignty to it, and it is like the child telling the parents what to do now.
