The people that sue to keep people off ballots, RCV off ballots, rig their own primaries, and cancel primaries to install their chosen candidate have no business talking about threats to democracy
People that sue to keep insurrectionists off the ballot are fine by me.
That's not what being discussed here
Uh? How so?
The DNC has sued to keep Green party off state ballots, they argued in court they are a private corporation that can use primaries to install their preferred candidate, and theyve sued to keep RCV off ballots for future elections, and sued to keep RCV off ballots where its already passed for use.
Trump, who you are referring to, even though he is a piece of shit, has only keep accused of insurrection, not charged with it. Whether you like it or not, until he's charged, he should be free to stay on the ballots. Which is what I expect SCOTUS to rule.
The DNCs corrupt shittiness aside.
Have you been completely living under a rock the last 6 months? He's been charged.

Point out where he's been charged with insurrection
Go waste someone else's time.
edit: no need to call you an idiot, that's mean.
I’ll be mean! That guy’s an idiot.
Because no one can point out where he's been charged with insurrection? If you only support rule of law when it's your side, you don't support rule of law.
This thread was about insurrection, not his other crimes. you listed valid links for his crimes, none of which addresses the topic in this thread.
The 14th amendment says nothing about being charged or found guilty of insurrection.
There are different levels to being a threat to democracy. I'm pretty sure what Democrats did doesn't really compare with the dictatorship Trump has in mind and what happened on Jan 6.
Liberals help enable the type of dictatorship we currently live in.
Why do commies agree with MAGAs so often? “Ukraine Nazis! American government evil!” Fuck outta this country. We gotta crowdfund one way plane tickets to North Korea for your lot
BlueMAGA has more in common with MAGA than socialists and communists have with either of you. If it were trump doing the exact same things Biden has done liberals would be all up in arms about it. The same way they've been quiet while Biden enacts the exact same immigration policies as trump, still locking kids in cages. Has kept DeJoy and Trump's appointment. Same mental impairments that liberals write off as a stutter, despite NO videos from earlier years showing any impairment.
hey can we be friends
They're not wrong. The Dems aren't the good guys here. As usual they're just slightly less bad. Someone that loves democracy lets a primary election happen rather annointing their chosen meat puppet....sorry, candidate.
