Careful with that last line. Toward the end Trump was making some serious moves towards not accepting the outcome of the election, and the idea that the election was "stolen" is still the going line in Trump circles.
Say what you will about the Biden administration, at least it's not threatening to burn the house down out of spite.
- DontchaKnowit 4y agoReally? Cause democrats are openly talking about abolishing the filibuster and packing the Supreme Court currently. Same shit different day, different faces.
- tstrimple 4y agoYou're equating using the levers of power as defined by our laws and constitution to trying to overthrow the results of an election. And you'll find far more Republican supporters of overthrowing a duly elected government than you'll find Democrats who want to end the filibuster. We have real evidence based on numbers that indicate this. You can't "both sides" your way out of attempting to overthrow democracy.
- jagraff 4y agoI'm not sure how anyone could honestly support the filibuster. It's extremely undemocratic and has mostly been used to prevent civil rights legislation and keep racism enshrined in law in the US. It wasn't even an intended mechanism of law in the constitution - it was introduced by accident, and only "discovered" as a mechanism to delay government action decades later.
- _-david-_ 4y agoClinton told the Biden he should not concede in 2020 if the results showed he lost. Not to mention Stacy Abhrams in 2018 and Clinton in 2016 saying the election was stolen from them. Not accepting elections and claiming elections were stolen is quite bipartisan.
