Holding leaders accountable for political corruption and attacks on elections is not retribution or a distraction. It is how democracies survive.

Someone needs to explain to him the difference between retribution and accountability. Trump is the one who does retribution. And Dems must hold him accountable and restore justice.
"The American people don't want us to get even; they want us to get things done on their behalf."
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who is now poised to become the next House Speaker, says that Democrats will focus on affordability concerns and not retribution after their midterm wins.
