        are you bitching about democrats four years in the future, or are you just avoiding the answer?

          Neither. I’m asking a very specific clarifying question. I’m not avoiding anything. You’re the one taking umbrage at an earnest question, which I posed to avoid talking about something you didn’t ask.

          You said:

          What do you suggest they do?

          I said:

          For next time (if there is one) or before the transition?

          To which timeframe are you referring?

                  Bruh, are you seriously getting bent out of shape because I asked a clarifying question?

                  If you ask, “Which ice cream do you want?” and someone replies, “Which ice cream flavors are there?”, do you also get upset and accuse them of avoiding the question? Because that’s the same sort of scenario over which you’re casting aspersions.

                  If you say, “What do you propose they do?” it matters whether you are asking, “What do you propose they do in the current time up to Jan 20, 2025,” versus, “What do you propose they do in 2026/2028.”

                  But since you’re being so combative over an earnest question, I don’t think you really care and are just claiming I’m not answering, because you don’t actually understand what I’m asking, don’t like my critique of the Democrats, and don’t want to actually engage in a real conversation.

                    you are seriously getting bent out of shape to avoid answering. this thread is full of answers that are not very smart, but their edgy teenage authors all understood the question. if you don’t understand the question even after getting multiple hints, you don’t really look as smug as you think.

      Use the blanket immunity the SCOTUS handed to the president to stop it from happening for a fucking start. What an easy question to answer lmao

        the problem is, unless you are dealing with really easy problem, the “easy” solution is usually the wrong one.

          No, the wrong one is to do nothing.

          But whatever I guess optics and decorum are more important than protecting citizens and the integrity of our democracy…
