The guard rails have been ropes with a polite “do not cross” sign for decades. Last 10 years the republicans have been jumping over them scribbling on everything… and the democrats are just going “they can’t do that, the sign says don’t cross”.
There was a small part of me that wanted Biden to nut up on the all threats foreign and domestic bit of his oath, but say he arrests him for treason, then the right will call him the autocrat and dictator preventing the peaceful transfer of power and the will of the people. There’s no good way to go about it unfortunately. I’m sure they discussed it, and thought that surely Trump will just fuck shit up again, and her voted out in 4 years, but imo we get a kangaroo election in 4 years, and it doesn’t matter. It fucking sucks, and we’re stuck with this shit.
So what if the right gets all bent? If Trump had disappeared forever into some CIA black site we wouldn’t be in this predicament. SCOTUS would have reversed their ruling and the GOP in congress would have worked with the Dems to rein in the executive before they started disappearing too.
Biden was a merely adequate president. What we needed was an exceptional one who would do what needed doing.
They could’ve “poisoned the well” by locking the status quo and forcing legislation timelines to be 2yr+ so that nothing gets canceled until next midterms muzzling GOP and they could’ve stripped POTUS of his powers by POTUS submitting an executive order etc… multiple ways to go about it and they did not touch a single one other than “pardons”…
They could’ve stripped president of immunity and most powers on the way out and complicated process of restoring that… which would be very democratic yet they’ve failed to do that
so, with POTUS47 so blatantly (ab)using superpowers granted to him WHY did Biden fail to use even fraction of the same powers to protect the country?
Biden and Harris and many other traditional DNC candidates are pro corporate, and they did what their funders wanted them to do.
It’s why the Yakuza spends souch time supporting the communities they operate in. The republicans though…

Play by the rules, blah blah, not stooping to their level blah blah
my dictator ok yours not blah blah blah. Him not “using” it is another reason I liked him.

Democrats keep trying to play by the rules long after Republicans have flipped the game board and thrown the pieces around the room.
Because they’re not authoritarians? Which is one reason why I supported them over Trump.
