10. They need to prove it!

I get that, I really do, truly! We need the numbers BUT no free pass. Let them band together and start their own movement to show their remorse or it's no different than being a part of a mob that murders someone and then says "Well, I didn't fire the gun! I didn't pull the trigger! I was just there holding the victim down and I'm sorry I did." or "I didn't mean to keep my knee on his neck for 9 minutes!" Sorry, but not sorry, it's all the same.

Yes we need the numbers but they have to do the work, now, during and after, and not just because they are being shunned by their own family and friends and don't want to take responsibility for their own actions of the crippling and death of the greatest country in the world.

That's why Nazis were tried and held accountable for years, even decades, after their support for putting Jews to death. And let us not forget their support for torture and death of homosexuals was NEVER punished! Gays were put right back into those camps to die when others were freed! Folks seem to forget that! And NO! I'm not getting off topic. It's the same damn thing! It's called accountability and honest remorse.

Please don't take my angry words to mean I'm attacking you or the idea. It's just my own opinion and reply.

Plenty of non voters to recruit, their numbers are FAR larger than remorseful MAGAts Celerity Jun 9 #3
Remorseful MAGA's have a track record of VOTING. artemisia1 Jun 9 #4
Yes, voting for a death cult. I trust them as far as I toss this one: Celerity Jun 9 #5
Hi Celerity! NCgayguy Jun 9 #12
They are non-voters, because they don't give a shit. We can't change that. Walleye Jun 9 #14
Of course we can. It is easier to get a non voter to vote (and vote D) than it is to get a MAGAt to flip to D. Celerity Jun 9 #19
I hope you are right about this Walleye Jun 9 #21
