(180 posts)I would expect that an attack by a foreign power upon the critical infrastructure of our democratic process, in an effort to undermine the security and integrity of the republic, is an act of war. Failure to respond with the appropriate strengthening of security and diplomatic consequences would seem to qualify as malfeasance of officials and their failure to comply with their oaths of office. The Republicans are selling out the country to oligarchs on the premise that they can avoid having to accommodate human rights and eventually having to turn power over to the emerging diverse population of citizens. We are in a critical struggle for the ideals of our democratic republic and cannot trust corporatists and capitalism to hold allegiance to the nation.
