> The shameful debacle of the United States’ withdrawal from Afghanistan and the coup attempt on Capitol Hill, which brought to light the deep crisis of American democracy, seem to have both vanished into the distant past. Positing that January 6th seems to have vanished into the distant past shows this person isn't serious. I just plugged "january 6" into google. There have been stories within the past 24 hours by NYT, Newsweek, CNN, Yahoo News, MSNBC, the New Republic, PBS, the Guardian, CBS News, Forbes, Al Jazeera, and the list goes on. ASSUMING, not even arguing, the close relationship between January 6 and the Afghanistan withdrawal is a close second in demonstrating the author's fundamental lack of seriousness. Zero coherence to listing these two things together without so much as an explanation and then tying them both to "bringing to light" something about democracy that wasn't previously in evidence during the last regime. What does an elected leader withdrawing soldiers reveal about a crisis of democracy beyond this author's apparent political objections to the withdrawal? Back to the distant past point. Any reasonably diligent observer would know that both parties save their arguments about the last two years for the eve of the midterms. We aren't there yet, because the Republicans haven't done their final ad spends. Duh.
