    “we defeat candidates at the polls”

    Yeah,but not at the Electoral College, which Republicans have been 10x more effective of weaponizing than Democrats.

    This whole mentality of playing by the rules against a team that’s openly bragging about cheating when the stakes are this high are exactly why the Democrats have gotten their ass kicked for years against a party that’s literally less popular in every way.

      also, removing candidates who attempt to overthrow the government is within the rules.
      trump isn’t a “candidate”

        No one has been charged with insurrection. No one.

        Yeah, I always take the word peacefully as a directive to overthrow the government, but I just never seem to remember to bring weapons…

    Notice it’s only ever “let the people decide” when they think it’ll benefit them. When the people decided in multiple states to enshrine abortion rights into law, suddenly they start changing rules and talking about national bans.

    Besides, I thought the elections were rigged? Good luck on voter turnout this time around.
