Justice or Nothing: I'm Done Voting for Cowardice [View all]

Julie Roginsky

I am done voting for Democrats who promise comfort when what this country needs is consequences.

I am done being told to “look forward” while the people who brutalized this country, looted it, and turned state power into a personal weapon walk around free, rich, and smug — raping the Constitution, collecting corporate tributes, and daring us to do something about it.

So let me be perfectly clear: I will not vote for any Democratic presidential candidate who refuses to announce, before the election, exactly whom they will appoint as Attorney General. The vetting can happen now — not just by a closed-door team of mandarins but by all of us. We’re not taking any chances anymore.

The last time Democrats tried the “healing” approach, it taught authoritarians the most dangerous lesson imaginable: You can do anything, as long as you win.
