It wouldn’t have stopped him from winning the election. Trump escaped accountability when the Senate failed to convict him in his second impeachment. That, and the first impeachment, were the only convictions that would have barred him from running. Two impeachments, one coup attempt, one felony conviction, and we still elected him. Pretty sure that’s on us.
Technically he is barred from holding office. He's was shown to incite the Jan 6 insurrection in Colorado as a matter of fact.
The US Supreme Court said that Colarado couldn't prevent him from running, it would be up to congress to reject him.
Of course congress won't, but they are totally within their rights to do so now. Other people have been barred from holding offices over it.
Where "us" isn't even the majority of basically any demographic but "uneducated". Cool, good to know it's my fault
Our fault.
DNC tried to get away with as much as shenanigans as they possible could while simultaneously calling this the most important election of our lifetimes. They get a massive share of the blame as well. Biden/Harris's policy choices, when they made any at all, were awful.
I'm also very disappointed in the so-called accomplishments of the Biden/Harris administration, but I firmly believe the DNC's complete unwillingness to run a primary without thumbing the scale is the main reason for how awful the last 12 years have been. If they could just run a normal goddamn primary without the bullshit we may be able to unify behind the nominee a little easier.
How about looking inward, Dems? How about accepting responsibility for not proffering a candid who could beat Trump?
Funny. I blame capitalists.
