If we are being pedantic the electoral college did so because of the electorate.

Im talking about SCOTUS and the federal courts. Those Courts are the check on the executive branch. The executive branch is not the check on itself.
Even if we were talking about a jury that would still ge part of the courts
So if the courts who are the actual constitutional check said Biden could run you would support Trump stopping him?
There aren’t many if any cases of them targeting an individual citizen with zero role in government over simple crimes.
This was done because the GOP is a clown show and needs to put on spectacles to entertain their supporters. Hunter Biden shoukd have been in a court like any other private citizen.
Baseball and steroids was a pet issue for GWB as I recall and if I recall correctly he woukd have pursued that had he become commissioner instead of POTUS.
Which we don’t do either unless there is demonstrable proof that the election was fraudulent and we don’t have.
You keep making the authoritarian/dictatorial choice that doesn’t align with the rule of law. Why?
If in 2020 Trump prevented Biden from running would you support that?
The DOJ, Congress and the courts all should have stopped this. The fact is a HUGE chunk of America knows fuckall about the government or how governing works (Lemmy is no exception). The public chose fascism.
Yes, it would because you have a candidate going out of their way to prevent a fair election from happening.
This is intro level poli sci stuff that you are not getting here
No, I did not and you repeatedly demonstrated a complete lack of understanding on how democracy works.
Suggesting Biden should intervene in the electoral process is suggesting an action only seen in authoritarian states.
You have an incredibly flawed understanding of philosophy or how anything works here. Is this because you don’t live in a democracy and only understand how authoritarian states like China works?
That guy in corporate is creepy as fuck. I think he’s a pedophile. He’s always saying “TIME TO GET BUSY MINORS!”
You wouldn’t be protecting democracy. You would be destroying it completely.
Ge leaked them to many nations not just the USA. You know that other nations can access US press and the internet in general, right? That’s the enemies Im talking about eg DPRK, Russia, or Iran.
Why would you think that’s their job? Do you have any idea how any of this works?
Snowden compromised the security of the intelligence apparatus of the USA and regardless of the reason you can’t have a DNI that approves of this.
You never answered how the tech job is working out.
That’s not what Im saying at all and I have no idea why you would conclude that given how many times I have clearly stated the issue to you.
Because that is how dictatorships work. That action would completely undo our democratic republic in a way that even 1/6/21 couldn’t.
Musk is unelected why should he have access to anything?
They aren’t defending the suggestion. They are taking issue with you using a medical condition to insult someone’s intelligence.
Ableism isn’t OK.
I never met her. I have met Joe a few dozen times campaigning for candidates and gay marriage in MA decades ago.
