Opinion | Democracy Isn’t Dying

The Capitol riot of Jan. 6, 2021, was a national disgrace, but almost more dispiriting is the way America’s two warring political tribes have responded. Democrats led by Speaker Nancy Pelosi seem intent on exploiting that day to retain power, while the Donald Trump wing of the GOP insists it was merely a protest march that got a little carried away.

We say this as a statement of political reality, not as a counsel of despair. Our job is to face the world as it is and try to move it in a better direction. So a year later, what have we learned?

opinion , to answer the question you pose, We will Never Forget. 1-6 earned an enduring place in US history as a Day that will live in Infamy! Not because of the antics of rabble, but because of the people given the highest trust in our land, who betrayed that trust & their oaths.

opinion should be ashamed of this. They are hacks, and won't be, but should be. GOPCoupAttempt

opinion 1/6/21 clearly meets the definition of insurrection. WSJ can try to feed the denial but the dictionary don’t lie.

opinion A sitting American President tried to STEAL the election from the American People.

opinion Don’t both sides this.

opinion Just Murdoch's WSJ both-siding the GOP-sponsored attack on the USA. Terrorist sympathizers.

opinion Just rename yourself Fox News. It's ok, don't fight the urge anymore.

opinion WSJ: Let’s see, one Party supports an insurrectionist and his followers and the other is trying to save our Democracy. Which Party are you most dispirited about?

opinion This is a moronic take.

opinion E A T S H I T N A Z I S

opinion one side is way too upset that the country was almost destroyed, right?

opinion LMAO, this is going to be DougJBalloon greatest day.

opinion How come you didn’t mention your sister news organization’s conservative media personalities who were in on the planning of the insurrection?

opinion Why no concern over the 6 months of BLM riots that killed at least 25 people? The riots tormented millions of citizens (poor politicians were forced to feel how their citizens felt for months). The costs were at least $1,000,000,000 (billion). Did democrats condemn them? No

opinion What little democracy exists in the US is dying

opinion More horse shit from the Murdoch Journal.

opinion The most dispiriting is the denial, pardoning and at time not acknowledging of it by one of the two party.

opinion The United States often supports the peaceful occupation of their country’s Congress by the people of other countries. Why can't the American people peacefully occupy their home Congress?

opinion Insurrection. Noun. 'A violent uprising against an authority or government.' 'It was a riot, and it was against authority/government, but it wasn't an insurrection.' - WSJ

opinion Yay a bothsidesism take 🙄

opinion Suprised that none of the GOP are went out to greet the Mob

opinion Wait, what? “Two warring political tribes.” WTF? One party (Republicans) actively participated, aided and abetted the Capital Riot and fans the flames of misinformation and gaslights what actually occurred (there is video you know). DO BETTER

opinion Moral outrage? At both parties? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

opinion Bcos you comfortable with this.

opinion I'm disappointed that more Republicans aren't in jail/barred from public office, so I suppose I too am dispirited by Democrats' handling of the aftermath.

opinion im pretty sure its one side that is reacting to it horribly. republicans are literally fundraising off of it ffs. wsj fail

opinion

opinion 'But..'

opinion The antifa riots were much worse.

opinion Democracy is being attacked once again even if we are a Republic too. It’s the Republican Party that has me dispirited. Republican Party has shown us they work for big Corporate Wall Street before the people, they have turned their back on America for the love of power & money

opinion January 6th is cancelled. Everybody go back to work or fun.

Jan. 6 anniversary points to bigger fights ahead for democracy: ANALYSISAn ABC News/Ipsos poll shows 71% of Republicans believe Trump's false claims of electoral fraud. Referring to Trumps claims of election fraud as false is false. Dumping phony mail in ballots all night long in swing states and allowing them to be counted needs to be thoroughly investigated before calling it a false claim. Stop having Republicans who push this false claim on your shows. And it doesn’t matter if they’re there to talk about something else. They’ve proved themselves to be untruthful, so it’s YOUR responsibility to your viewers to keep lies off your air. Nice narrative!!
