American democracy is strong

The fact that the President of the United States is being investigated by the FBI right now, after betraying our country and very probably working with a foreign state to undermine our democracy shows that our system works.  The fact that the Speaker of the House is not running for reelection with the writing on the wall saying he complicit the Republican party was in undermining our democracy shows that our system works.

There are issues with our system, the electoral college is a relic of slavery and African Americans are disproportionately targeted by our judicial system. But the fact that the president of the United States is being taken down by the FBI shows that our system is strong.

More evidence points in the same direction

Today I was wondering about betting pools for various political issues, and at the top of the page for the 2020 Presidential election I saw this:
Disregarding my nerdy tabs and applications, Kamala Harris is currently projected as the most likely Democratic Nominee for the 2020 Presidential Election. #2 is long-time favorite of mine, Elizabeth Warren.

Unless if someone else comes out of nowhere in the next year, a Kamala Harris candidacy just looks more and more likely.
