Welcome to c/electoralism! politics isn't just about voting or running for office, but this community is.
Please read the Chapo Code of Conduct and remember...we're all comrades here.
Shitposting in other comms please!
I have to ask, if Trump is such a threat to the very democracy of this country why is he allowed to even run? The president was given the power to do anything they want and could have jailed him by now. What gives?
Libs are conflict averse on an institutional level. They would rather let an election be stolen than question the legitimacy of the resulting government.
It's maddening. 4 years of lawfare against him up in smoke because he becomes president and says "lol nope" to the charges and pardons himself.
Because the US is a clown country run by clowns
There aren't many avenues to make him ineligible and the democrats are general rules following cowards. They could try him for treason or whatever is necessary to activate the 14th ammendment I think but that would be a big precedent since that was really meant only as a fuck you to confederates.
