Sure but there is currently 0 federal death penalties and he has stated there will be no more while president and kept the illegality of the drugs for lethal injection keeping it hard for states to perform and isn't buying more.
He may support the idea of it but isn't supporting the action of it.
Making him less authoritarian for sure.
Not equal. That's your own bias wanting an outcome. Sorry but no I'm gonna be factual in the ways I think they are problematic not reactionary.
Those convicted are still on death row. Their experience of authoritarianism hasn't changed from one president to the next.
My point is not to use Trump as a yardstick, or even attack Biden. It's to give perspective on how authoritarian the whole of US politics is.
No that's very clearly not what you are doing.
You have a point you want to make regardless of nuance or fact. There is no death row federal inmates, because now there is no death penalty.
If you don't think there is a distance between actually being killed and being imprisoned then you are disingenuous. There are and even good arguments over what is nicer but they do fall to different levels.
You moved the goalpost after being called out, so while I can agree it is authoritarian I can not trust that you aren't just tryna ng to look trustworthy when already shown to be not.
The point is that Biden (and most of us politics) is authoritarian. There is no nuance. Only fact.
An example of there having been no executions ... yet, is not a liberal flex.
The goalpost is steady.
