You consider it even remotely appropriate to let an insurrectionist stand for election? A literal traitor to the republic? Allowing him on the ballot was, I think, a crucial failure of democratic norms. One of many.
Just as legality is not the same as morality, winning an election in a critically dysfunctional democracy is not a mandate to rule as a king.
They're beginning to learn, too late, that the only thing keeping democracy in America is its norms. Voters were offered an insane question that should never have been asked.
Biden isn’t responsible for any of that though. The courts should have stopped Trump nothis oppenent in the election
edit: To all thinking Biden could or should have directly intervened to prevent Trump from running how do you think he can legally do so without being seen as a dictator?
He is responsible for Merrick Fucking Garland.
And Garland dropped the ball not Biden.
It's weird how many people are advocating for authoritarian actions.
Lol
What could poor little Biden do? He's just the President!
Fucking put a black bag over Trump's head and execute him with a shotgun engraved with the words "Official Acts" for one thing, that's what he could have done.
I refer you to the last sentence of my previous post
The wonderful US democracy is based on a DNC calculating that Jan 6th makes Trump the best opponent to keep around, before deciding after Oct 7th, that they should help elect him for Israel.
The CIA has toppled democracies around the world. So its bullshit to say the president has his hands tied...
If a leader utilizes the intelligence agencies to put down opposition politicians then they are an authoritarian dictator. Biden isn’t that stupid.
Be careful when you fight monsters. Biden was fucked either way if I'm being honest, I'd even bet a handful of cash that a prominent Dem, perhaps even Biden, gets merked within two years.
Youre right. Should just let a traitor waltz in and be the authoritarian dictator. We'll just put Biden in the history book beside Hindenburg.
Biden could have used an "official act" to prove a point. He's old and could have made the sacrifice for the greater good since by the time the courts were done he is on his death bed. Would have been interesting to watch.
by not giving a shit about optics in the same way he bailed his son out. who cares if people see him as a dictator?
Pardoning his son from witch-hunts by the GOP isn’t dictatorial.Legally preventing the opposition from running candidates is absolutely dictatorial.
pardoning witch hunts? hunter avoided paying taxes and got caught. why should he not pay the price for his crime?
