On the other hand, these veterans being pardoned 4 years earlier could potentially have cost Biden the election, cost America democracy, cost trans Americans their freedom, and cost West Bank Palestinians their lives. It's a fucked up calculus but I can't say I disagree. I blame this failure on the short memories of voters and on those who are working to make a Trump presidency happen.
