If they can elect a felon to the white house, so could we.

Actually... Shit. That's kind of a good point. His approach was the non-violent solution.
If we're fighting with the same weapons, then Biden's last act should be a pardon for Luigi...
Biden is not on our side on this issue, that's part of the problem. He is and was the candidate that the people who didn't want healthcare reform pushed in to block Bernie from putting the issue on the ballot by running on it.
I keep hearing this idea floated, do people really think that Biden is not on the same side as the health insurance companies??
And when he doesn't, that means we're not fighting with the same weapons.
I think accepting a pardon implicitly admits you did the thing, which could have complications for states prosecuting.
He hasn't been convicted yet. You cannot pardon someone who doesn't technically have a record.
Incorrect. Example, hunter was pardoned for everything he might've done in the past 11 years, not just what he was actually convicted of.
I stand corrected. That was quite a misinformed post I made.
Nixon was preemptively pardoned.
Didn't Trump already issue pre-emptive parsons last time around? Or at least try to?
Yes. Steve Bannon.
Didn't try. Did.
Mangione (similar to Bannon) has a mixture of state and federal charges levied against him, and Presidents cannot pardon state charges.
Sure. I also don't imagine for a second that Biden would do it. I was just trying to recall if it was actually accurate that you can't pre-emptively pardon (or, at least, that there's no precedent for it; what Trump has done hardly seems to be a guideline for what presidents should be able to do).
Gaetz asked for one, but got denied
Yep. Sometimes it's good to remind the bourgeoise that they should be scared if the mistreatment of the working class grows unacceptable to the latter, with no way to change things from within the system.
They seem to forget every few decades, maybe it’s time we reinvent the guillotine?
I fear we're already doing it and it's going in the wrong direction. Bipartisan support for Luigi is a good example. The entire base of the MAGA movement are disgruntled working class racists who are voting the way they do to fuck up the system. They're just too nearsighted / indoctrinated / uneducated / racist / greedy / plain stupid to see that the felonious oligarch they are putting into office is just another crocodile and has no interest in draining the swamp, in fact the water may rise so he and his fellows can eat more of them.
Lets make the word "Guillotine" trend on amazon and google...
Although they are cowards, they are also risk takers by nature, especially when the economy is going their way, so naturally they will always push things too far until it’s too late.
