The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

I'm not understanding what you're trying to say.
Are you saying the Democrats, after called trump's use of fake electors a threat to democracy, should try that failed tactic?
And are you saying this for 2024? After the Dems lost the popular vote, every swing state, the Senate and Congress, Dems should try to install Kamala as the 2024 winner?
Or that they should do that in 2028, regardless of the outcome or only if Republicana don't cede power or?
I'm saying they should do the exact same thing trump did and will face no consequences for and see how the Republicans respond in turn.
The problem is that the democrats are playing the game called "democracy." The Republicans stopped following the rules of the game because they don't want to play it anymore. If the Democrats do what the Republicans do, then the game is no longer be played. You can't really give up on democracy and then bring it back. It rarely ever works that way.
If you cede the ground of democratic norms, rules, and policies just to win, you ultimately lose because you no longer have a democracy. In many respects, getting the Democrats to start doing the same thing is precisely what the Republicans want. Because that means they can finish burying democracy, and they're better positioned to win the game called "fascism."
Yeah, but as this election showed, people cant be trusted. Theres no need to try and preserve our "democracy" because our democracy led to this. Instead, democrats just need to take over via any means neccassary.
Sounds like a brilliant plan. "They're being fascist so we have to be fascist!" has worked so well in history.
You effectively said, "I didn't do anything to change anyone's mind, and neither did the party that I support through the bare minimum of voting once every four years, so since the majority of people in this country don't agree with me, I think I want to play fascism instead of democracy too! Except I'm the good kind of fascist! I just don't think the majority of voters should get their way, that's all."
Hard eye roll on that one.
Yep. Pretty simple. As evidenced, humans wont do that ght unless they are forced to do right. Glad to see you understand so well.
