Are you fucking dense? We’re already past the point of no return. We’re already being victimized by them, and you’re fucking rolling over. Fuck off.
What has this ruling done to victimize any of us so far? How is trying to overturn an election an "official" act of the president? I'm not rolling over. I'm pointing out your solution is fucking stupid and not a solution.
Christ on a shitstick - the Supreme Cunts have decreed that one man stands above justice, and you’re out here asking dumbass questions like “HuR hOw DoEs DiS vIcTiMiZe??”
Fuck off already.
Official acts as president. Not unofficial. Official could be seen as airstriking another country. Unofficial can easily be interpreted as trying to steal the election. Yet most of you are out here advocating for biden to set precedent of assassinating an opponent..... really makes you wonder what narrative some people are trying to push. Surely seems like destabilizing the remaining bit of a country we have.
As an outsider looking at American politics right now, I don't see you getting out of a dictatorship and civil war without a lot of realpolitik from the democrats. Assassination may be extreme and strategically unsound for the dems (making Trump a martyr), but as I understand it, it would be feasible to, for example, add 10 more people to the SC, wouldn't it? Or change electoral laws to make it so convicted felons can't run for office? Maybe changing first past the post and abolishing the electoral college? I admit I am fairly ignorant of the American system, but wouldn't those be achievable to Biden if he set his mind to it and damned the consequences (since he can't be prosecuted for those anyways?)
Are you a bot or are you just blind? Wait for trump to go to office with this power and let's see how nobody gets victimized.
Are you blind? The person said we are currently being victimized. I point out that's not true and your response is just wait and see??
Trump has already released a list of people he wants to jail, including biden. You are not being victimized yet but they are telling you clearly what is going to happen.
Ive never said anything about what the future may or may not hold. Ive stated that ops comment about CURRENT victimization is not true. Continuing to argue with me about the future when that's not the subject at hand is a waste of time.
