8. I have to leave the part about "all leaders resigning." Biden? Senator Warnock?

Not hardly.

We do have a constitutional right to carry out a peaceful revolution every four years, and major shakeups when we're displeased or just need change every two.

How amazing that that's nothing to some and rejected with contempt as not nearly enough by some others.

But then there are all the rest of us.

Why stop there? Lets have all congress people step down. All new congress for 2022
would prove whether our form of democracy can truly function for the people.

...with the new "revolution".

No one would expect it to happen in only one election but it could be the goal.

because we all know at this point that “they”would go to any extreme to rig the vote. Man, we’re in some deep shit right now. We need strong leadership badly.

If the leaders do not wish to step down, they should be challenged. They have failed us.
