> Trump would not have been forced to hand over power
Can you re-read your sentence and ask yourself if this is a normal thing to say in a working democracy? That this is even on the table means Trump IS a dictator. He was just too dumb to know how to make it work in 2020. From a non American lens, it actually looks like you handed power to a dictator because he won "fair and square" this time. I have trouble believing the US will have another genuine vote in my lifetime.
- blueprint 2y agoeven if someone wishes they were a dictator of the USA doesn’t mean that they are
- iamtedd 2y agoIt does mean he will behave dictatorially, and make dictatorial decisions as president as far as the system will allow. Previous experience (his last presidency) shows he will take every opportunity, and has a lot of leeway in your "democratic" system.

You might want to ask yourself - why was supporting Israel more important to Harris than winning the Presidency and defeating Trump? 0 - https://www.commondreams.org/news/harris-gaza https://www.commondreams.org/news/harris-gaza
