    I’m not understanding what you’re trying to say.

    Are you saying the Democrats, after called trump’s use of fake electors a threat to democracy, should try that failed tactic?

    And are you saying this for 2024? After the Dems lost the popular vote, every swing state, the Senate and Congress, Dems should try to install Kamala as the 2024 winner?

    Or that they should do that in 2028, regardless of the outcome or only if Republicana don’t cede power or?

        The problem is that the democrats are playing the game called “democracy.” The Republicans stopped following the rules of the game because they don’t want to play it anymore. If the Democrats do what the Republicans do, then the game is no longer be played. You can’t really give up on democracy and then bring it back. It rarely ever works that way.

        If you cede the ground of democratic norms, rules, and policies just to win, you ultimately lose because you no longer have a democracy. In many respects, getting the Democrats to start doing the same thing is precisely what the Republicans want. Because that means they can finish burying democracy, and they’re better positioned to win the game called “fascism.”

          The board is set. The dems can pretend democracy as usual but it will all be fruitless. Now is the time to peel back any remaining facade of the america we once knew and go toe to toe with the fascist take over. The long we wait the deeper they will burrow into the heart of this nations government and one morning you’ll just wake up living in a fascist regime.

        You want them to simultaneously seem like hypocrites AND idiots?

        To what end? Funsies?

          They would be exposing the hypocrites. They already look look like fucking morons for losing to trump, again, so not much to salvage there. Tell me any American could not miss the message when democrats stop the confirmation, roll out their own fake electors, and confirm kamala herself. Hell, have biden make it an official act because why not? Any person to object to it could not be totally lost on them this is exactly what Trump attempted to do and will not be punished for it.

          Now, anyone knows this plan will fall flat. That’s not how these things work. It would just stir the pot so brilliantly it might actually get the little brain cell they are guarding to light up.

            Exposing hypocrites never brings any real gain, only an opportunity to get upset.

            Now please don’t get me wrong: getting upset might be worth it for many, many people. Getting upset is one of the highest valued things in our time.
