The democrats have done many things that are undemocratic. * tried to remove trump from the ballot on Colorado * triple digit amount of filings from the justice department against a political opponent * refuse to remove rfk junior from the ballot

  Is becoming a "political opponent" supposed to be a legal shield against prosecution? Are laws simply unenforceable against politicians who break them to pursue power or abuse their offices?

> When democracy and the rule of law are considered less important than (insert all the dem ills here), it’s not dems. It’s the voters. Democracy and rule of law like... covering up the mental decline of a sitting president, foreign leaders lying to the American public saying Joe Biden is fine, only for him to finally expose himself so badly live on TV they jettison the man off the 2024 ticket while leaving him in office? Then imposing a candidate by fiat? January 6th was absolutely a constitutional crisis, but it lasted less than a day. The cover-up of Biden's mental state was a multi-year constitutional crisis that still has not been fully acknowledged. When there are two competing harms you fall back to things like who is going to put more money in my pocket. This is 100% the dem's fault.

Absolutely agree. This is like the discussions amongst brits during Brexit. This is not dems leadership fault. Many of the complaints that "oh they didnt do X or Y outreach" for example, are just strange, given that people OUTSIDE of America were well aware of Dem policies. Hell, the Dems ditched their candidate, to put forward a better candidate, against all conventional wisdom. A bold and honestly decent move. They communicated through word and action, and it still made no difference.
