What do you call a political system where those in power refuse to seat a duly elected member of the opposition party? Not a democracy that’s for certain.

And what do you will happen at the midterms?
@georgetakei Just release the Epstein Files and emails.
How many votes do they need to release the Epstein files?
I have a request of Rep Greg Stanton:
Could Dems please stop acting so surprised & shocked every time this shit happens? it makes you look clueless & weak
Try:
House Repugs are shutting down the House to avoid swearing in Adelita Grijalva.
They are afraid of democracy because Repugs are weak.
The people have spoken. Grijalva will be sworn in. The Epstein files will be released. And you Repug cowards will be held accountable for trying to cover for a pedophile.

Try that as your tweet
@georgetakei The move tomorrow is to get Adelita a guest pass and take her to Johnson's office, imo.
Remember kids, when it’s our turn again, we need to repay the Repugs in spades.
@georgetakei I think the term is "sham democracy", it's nominally democratic but rigged to favour certain parties. Like Putin's Russia, Saddam Hussein's Iraq, Trump's USA(?) Obviously, there are all kinds of gradations between a pure proportional system of some kind, through to the first-past-the post district systems where only large parties can compete, through to gerrymandered systems controlled by the people in power, right through to the outright shams.

Uh, I find this whole business weird to say the least. So, for me the right question to ask here is what do you call a political system where a duly elected representative _needs_ to be "seated" by other representatives?

@georgetakei I would bring in my own witnesses, swear the oath in their presence and take my seat. Her constituents have the right to have her there. The Speaker should facilitate her taking her seat, not obstruct it. He's not doing his job and he should be replaced.
@georgetakei Well now we know how 2026 is going to end.
Mike Johnson is pro-rape.
@georgetakei yet another thing that should be worth a general strike, tbh. Nice, targeted, small, effective. We'd have to stop work for like 2 days.
@georgetakei corporate fascism.
@georgetakei It would all fall apart if MAGA found out Trump is in the elite pedophile cabal they think they hate
republicans are assholes
Why is everyone (almost) in America afraid to say what this is?

Say it, out loud, every minute of every day until people get it.
@georgetakei And that's her right there in the House? That's despicable.
Hiti
हिति , in Nepāl Bhāṣā, is the word for a shared community water tap. Even in modern Newar cities, these ancient structures still pour out fresh mountain water piped through ancient underground filters and conduits. They are a place to wash, to talk, to drink, to meet the locals: a nourishing, refreshing social-ecological place.
