Yeah because jailing him and letting him out last time worked so well.

"Mr. Biden, your opponent has imprisoned refugee children and separated them from their parents indefinitely, funneled taxpayer dollars into his properties, conspired with foreign government's via bribery to create false dirt on you, installed vastly unqualified family members and political hacks in vital positions to attack the integrity of the country, held secret meetings with dictators around the globe, committed adultery and used campaign funds to pay hush money about it, stolen donations for veterans, and pardoned war criminals denounced by their own command and comrades, to name a few, your thoughts?"

Nothing says hip and youthful like using a word like malarkey.

In all fairness, Joe isn't trying to be hip and youthful. He's offering the exact opposite of that and personally, I've had enough excitement out of my president for a lifetime.Nothing says hip and youthful like using a word like malarkey.

I think there are a fair amount of people on the far Left that dream of a system in which the majority (in their view, them) has completely autocratic power over the minority. I don't doubt for a second that someone like Warren wouldn't hesitate to strip away rights from her ideological opposites if she was given the opportunity. In a direct democratic system, I can only imagine the unprecedented levels of propaganda and manipulation we would see, beyond even what we see every two years now.Liz Warren is a complete moron who is lying.

Well, the fact that the Electoral College is the worst possible electoral system in the Universe has nothing to do with autocratic power, but everything to do with the fact that EC is a system that, by design, allows a huge discontinuity outcome, leading to a fair chance that a random error will decide the outcome of the election.I think there are a fair amount of people on the far Left that dream of a system in which the majority (in their view, them) has completely autocratic power over the minority.

Popular vote (with possibly over-weighing the votes from the small states) is the only fair system in the 21st Century.

Just like on the right, there is a contingent (Bernie supporters) on the left that views the opposition party as merely an impediment that needs to be put down.
I would argue that the Democratic Party is still the party of liberal democracy and would not seek to subvert the republicans to force a far left agenda on the country. I think that portion of the right has been fully absorbed into the gop (Merrick garland). The moderates in the Democratic Party are still trying to thread that needle, I think for the better of the country the middle has to hold.
I think this is how things are at present, people that are right of center should be devoting their energy to supporting center right politicians instead of devoting al energy to being anti anti trump and owning libs.
