Welcome to politcal memes!
These are our rules:

No misinformation
Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.
No bots, spam or self-promotion
Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.

MODERATORS
He was President for four years and he did a lot worse than "propose ideas". Perhaps we should throw him in jail.
It strongly discourages people to support a fascist who threatens my existence.
So we have an undemocratic state if voting one out of two candidates gets you in jail. This is literally the playbook definition of an autocracy. He should be judged by the actions he took and shouldn't be above the law like the supreme court decided but judging the voters is crazy
He's not above the law. Congress Impeached him for it and 57 Senators (less than the 67 needed) voted to convict (including 7 Republicans). But the Democrats rushed it for political reasons. The Nixon Impeachement process took 9 months and it had several hearings evidentiary and others that gave Republicans who didn't and couldn't support impeachment at the start of the process justify impeachment to their constituents. Impeachment is a political process, and Dems politicked like morons.
The Tolerance Paradox is only resolved when you refuse to tolerate intolerance.
Then drop the candidate but not the masses voting for change.
Since we're wishcasting here, I'd say "¿Por Qué No Los Dos?"
But I agree, getting fascists off the ballot would be the highest imperative. I'd also say that we're not going to do either, so getting angry at someone online for suggesting either one seems silly.
