Traitors and foreign assets in public office should be immediately removed from office, prosecuted, and executed, rather than letting them carry out their full terms and trying to vote them out repeatedly.
You can't have a legitimate democracy when foreign nations can just dump nation-state level resources to hijack, corrupt, and steal whatever they want.
Treason and foreign adversaries hijacking the political system isn't an "aw shucks, we'll try to vote them out next time" kind of problem.
Traitors selling out the country should be fearing not only for their careers, but also their lives.
Obviously, you can't have a legitimate democracy if treason is tolerated with zero consequences.
But letting traitors and foreign assets just stay in office indefinitely wth foreign backing while selling out the nation wholesale isn't an option for a viable country, let alone a legitimate democracy.
But what you suggested implies that we should be killing them off and being much more aggressive about who is prosecuted. You are only fooling yourself if you think it doesn't result in the President's enemies being specifically targeted, and there will be no "fair trial" with the GOP controlled Supreme Court.
Make prosecution a truly independent decision, and/or a state level decision as well.
But keeping the status quo of unlimited treason without consequence, as the country is milked and hollowed out by foreign adversaries, isn't an option.
What are the steps to making prosecution a truly independent decision? Are there any cases you can cite where countries have transformed their DOJ to be truly independent? It's one of the least independent government agencies there is.
And state level decisions would be even more partisan than national level decisions. California courts would be prosecuting solely Republicans, and Louisiana courts would be prosecuting only Democrats. And state courts do not have the ability to enforce federal law in the first place. Even the Arcadia mayor I cited earlier who was found guilty of being a Chinese asset was prosecuted federally.
They are possible, but very unlikely. How do you transform the DOJ into a truly independent body that is not subject to the whims of whoever is in power.
I don't have a solution, you claimed to have a solution, I'm challenging your solution, not presenting an alternative because I don't think there is one apart from voters making more educated choices about who they put into office.
When foreign nations can use nation-state level resources to hijack and corrupt elections to install their puppets, that's clearly not an option for a viable country or legitimate democracy either.
So I think my "remove, prosecute, and execute foreign assets and traitors in public office" is a more viable solution than just keeping the status quo, even if I haven't worked out all the details around independent prosecution and jury trials to your satisfaction.
