Great. They made him a martyr and he’s still alive to capitalize on it. Worst case scenario. Fucking fuck.

Let me dream… 😢

Straight to jail for the owner.

The problem is that it fundamentally makes them a political org to choose one side over the other.

And the US Government has made it clear that they don’t consider a violent insurrection to be treason.

No they didn’t. They prosecuted a LOT of people for that.

So why should facebook go to bat and make themselves an even bigger target come January?

That’s the reason. Fuck Facebook’s own rules, they are trying to mitigate an attack by a fascist dictator.

Yes they can. They are a private corporate and can do whatever they want as long as it doesn’t target a protected class, and it doesn’t.

And in particular, they didn’t silence him because of politics, but because he was conspiring with insurrectionists. Active treason. Stochastic terrorism.

Gotta let a traitor be traitorous because the country might decide we want to overthrow the country again…

Why is screw DLC legal? Why are people ok with companies preventing people from working in their own devices?

You being vague and argumentative without clarification is trolling. Sad and lame.

Who’s shocked, really? “Oh no I’m so surprised the dictator who’s assassinated public officials before is maybe trying to kill us!”

Declare Russia an enemy of the state or whatever allows you to sanction them in totality and be done with it. The fact they won’t because they’ve made themselves so dependent on their gas and other exports is fucking pathetic.

Biden could die and I’d still vote for him, or whoever the non-fascist nominee was.

If you vote for a third party in November you are helping Trump win. The primaries are over. It’s either Biden or whomever the DNC picks now. There are 2 options, 1 of which might be up in the air.

Anyone who announces they’re willing becomes persona non grata and nonviable, for stabbing the current candidate in the back before he’s stepped down.

None of this should have been done in public. Democrats calling for Biden to step down 1 day after the debate are idiots. This is internal party politics and while it would have leaked, it wouldn’t have been democrats blasting their own party leader in public. They should have figured out who was the most popular, got a backup, got their support, and then went to Biden’s campaign with their evidence. Then if he refused to step down, they maybe could do so in public. Or just wait for the pundits to trash Biden on their own instead of adding to it.

Division this late is the game is damning. Also Democrats are fair-weather supporters to a T. 1 bad debate and they throw the sitting POTUS under the bus? Yeah he looked old and made mistakes. But he isn’t a fucking fascist. It’s just unbelievable when Trump has been shitting the bed 24/7 for years.

If you’re going to pressure an incumbent into dropping out you can’t lead with “we’ll figure out who the nominee is who can beat Trump eventually”. You come to the board with a game plan and evidence. Calling for him to step down is fucking sabotage without all of that.

He’d be stepping down into the void. The primaries are mostly over. It’d just be the DNC deciding for themselves who the candidate would be. That would NOT please most voters. It’s typical for an incumbent to be the nominee for a second term. It’s not typical for a party to just decide who the candidate would be.

It’s probably going to be Harris if he is replaced, which I’m… not thrilled with.

If that’s who they choose they need to decide now and start talking her up, even if Biden doesn’t step down right away. We are past primary season. And honestly, she’s fine. Not good fine. But she’ll lose to Trump. Not for any part of her own merit or policies, but because America is a sexist, racist country and I do not have any confidence in them electing a black woman. Maybe is she was popular or charismatic like Obama was but we haven’t really seen her do much.

Then the Democrats can pick someone else NOW and rally behind them. This constant undermining of Biden while not providing a good alternative and promoting them is just hurting Democrats chances to save democracy. This is irresponsible on such an obvious level I have to assume they are trying to lose the presidency.

Man I love it when billionaire assholes finally figure out what the rest of the world has been saying since the beginning.

Because pundits and even other Democrats don’t care if Trump wins. They’re rich and won’t see hardship. But inflaming the public gets them in the spotlight and that’s all they care about.

They are effectively Trump supporters.

Worst case scenario for Biden is he’s mostly absent and his cabinet has to guide him through policies making the Democratic party mostly in control.

Which is pretty much exactly what Trump’s first term was adding in a lot of grift and pointless spite.

Do you know anywhere that lists where RCV will be on the ballot? I’m looking but mostly finding news articles explaining it.
