Natanael

Just realized my post could be read wrong.

I meant that the above would be forced onto candidates as they sign up for an election.

Move all control of all business into a fully independent trust, or something. Maybe even one controlled in a different country if you’re really paranoid.

I did pay attention, and I saw noone serious think that would be legal to do

The biggest errors was not pushing harder against his first campaign, not pushing harder during the impeachments, letting Jan 6 go without another impeachment, and not calling out the billionaires helping his campaign with the intent to dismantle agencies that protect people, etc.

The SCOTUS appointments were big issues but due to the timing meaning they happened when dems lacked majorities there wasn’t much to do about them. Getting Trump out of the office is the only fix.

Only exception would’ve been SCOTUS reform immediately after Biden’s election when he had a majority, but the problem there is he couldn’t get enough votes for it

How were they supposed to override the “turtle” though? Sure they should’ve fought harder, but what legal options were there?

You’re missing important factors like Trump getting help from SCOTUS and agency heads bowing down to him. Biden would never have been allowed to do a fraction of this because none of it would’ve reached the enforcement stage

But Trump IS worse

The prior Trump admin’s peace deal proposal was giving Israel total control over all of Palestine (full responsibility for physical security), and give them free land in the west bank, with no rights guaranteed to Palestinians

Fascinating how you think I’m the apologist when you at no point have been capable of criticizing Trump for being far worse, not acknowledging your own personal role in ensuring the genocide will get worse by helping Trump win, not acknowledging that those who opposed Trump did so to prevent things from getting worse, and that you then instead of helping prevent things get worse decided to send us spiraling down into a far far worse situation, for literally no other reason than that you’re an asshole who thinks the genocide is about you, because why else would you take an action that you claim is to make things “better” by removing a flawed person from power, when you knew all along the replacement would be worse? You’re only trying to ensure you didn’t support a person who didn’t do enough to prevent a genocide - meanwhile that decision actually means you made an active choice to make the genocide worse.

You’re only trying to shift blame. You and your crowd are personally responsible for things getting worse and you know it.

A lot of genocide, a lot of oppression, a lot of revoking human rights, a lot of political persecution, a lot shifting blame, is quite the fucking choice

And Biden actually pushed for ceasefire and got one. Trump doesn’t.

“there’s zero difference between mostly good with a little bad, and an absolute shitstorm of horrors”

You’re mixing up cause and effect

Yes it’s not the best strategy to appeal to the right, but the truth is their policies were more popular, Trump didn’t win on any tangible proposal, he won because of people staying home because they didn’t think he’d be that dangerous + people voting for Trump because the were convinced he’d be the one to deliver the policies they wanted (often the democrat’s policies which Trump took credit for) + straight propaganda from billionaire owned newspapers

The real fix isn’t changing the policies and all that, it’s better outreach and showing how their actions have directly helped people and how Trump achieved nothing positive

Also is very very weird when Biden has been the most progressive US president ever to talk about the whole party slipping to the right.

What’s with all the people who are so aggressively trying to make sure everybody learns the wrong lesson?
