    No, Biden has a duty to protect the constitution, so letting the fascists take over is a dereliction of duty.

      Explain precisely what you want him to do. Should he refuse to hand over power in “defense of the constitution”? Be specific.

        you can invade, stage coups and meddle in other countries to bring or protect “democracy” then why not your own?

          Let’s try this again. Explain precisely what you want Biden to do. He specific. Rhetorical questions don’t count.

      It’s a fine line to tread. Biden and Harris have a Constitutional duty to step aside on January 20, and let Trump and Vance take over, but there’s no duty to acquiesce so quietly and cooperatively. They could be leading pro-civil rights rallies and delivering speeches on national TV, but of course, if they did they wouldn’t be Biden and Harris.

        We invision leaders who have moral fortitude, believe in justice, want to make the world better, and have a plan to do so.

        What we actually have are people who showed up, people who sold out, people who can navigate petty social interactions, and people who cling to power because it’s their ticket to an easy life.

        Never should anyone be surprised when they let us down. It’s all theatre and the few who might fit the bill get isolated and rejected because they threaten the rests existence.
