That shouldn’t be a surprise. We’ve seen the warning signs for a long time. We saw Mitch McConnell stonewall President Obama’s Supreme Court nominee, Merrick Garland.

Warren scores highest overall and in the democracy category. Makes sense given her campaign’s focus on corruption. Unsurprisingly, she’s spent her time at the impeachment trial drawing the same connections.https://twitter.com/MotherJones/status/1223029818888986624 …

As for other candidates, Buttigieg is lower overall but not far behind on democracy. Sanders, Steyer, & Klobuchar all have less expansive visions for democracy or place less of a priority on it - but they still get a 70+ score on this metric.

Way down at the bottom of the democracy ranking is Biden. When asked in a recent New York Times interview which of the big democracy reforms proposed by other candidates he supported, he gave a simple direct response: “None.”pic.twitter.com/A1njMqUrKC

Biden is also the only major candidate to decline to respond to Indivisible’s questionnaire at all. Every single other candidate put their thoughts down on paper when asked how they would save our democracy. Biden wouldn't.

Biden has a pretty simple analysis: the problem is Trump. Once we get rid of him, all will go back to normal. Just a couple weeks ago, Biden predicted that McConnell would become “mildly cooperative” once Trump is gone.

The impeachment trial vote should shake everyone out of any illusion that we can go back to the way things were. Don't listen to me, listen to a former senior GOP staffer on this:https://twitter.com/EvanMcMullin/status/1222901696826789888 …

One side is rigging the rules to entrench their power. They’re rigging it against an increasingly diverse, unequal electorate that wants policies that actually reflect the will of the people. They were rigging it before Trump and they will continue rigging it after him.

I'll work my ass off to elect whoever the nominee ends up being. And we've got several candidates who are well positioned to beat Trump. I'd just encourage you if you get a chance to ask your top picks about their plans for saving democracy after Trump. /end

Why does your democracy ranking advance executive actions rather than Congressional legislation? Even though it's been going on for a while, and even when presidents have good intentions but Congress stonewalls them, it's still a dangerous trend to maintain.
