I wasn't arguing. Just bringing the relevant polling to the table. 30% black support would be a landslide election for a Republican. 13% when he won 12% in 2020 doesn't even seem worth remarking upon. So I think that's an important distinction.

We did not vote Gore or Hillary into office. They got more popular votes and lost in electoral votes, and only electoral votes count for president. They lost fair and square, in the system we have.

No the difference between republics and monarchies is not "talking about assassinating rivals." You can say anything, that is anyone's right. In the context from above, this difference is why political assassination is not acceptable in a republic. It would be insane to say that political assassination is OK if the person had ever talked about assassinating rivals. The penalty for distasteful speech is not death.

Trump was asking Pence to return legally cast electoral votes to the states for reconsideration on false pretenses. Yes obviously bad and we don't want a president who would do such a thing. But not assassination worthy.

While they await sentencing? If a judge allows it, obviously yes. People have lives and jobs, if they might not even get prison time it would be cruel to force them into all the downsides of prison time (lose your job, child care difficulties) and then let them go.

Trump would be more impacted by his inability to campaign, but we only have one justice system and I don't want to betray my beliefs on how the justice system works just because I don't like this guy's politics.

Biden is winning black voters 64% to 13% in this poll that has a crazy amount of Kennedy voters https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2024/07/11/amid-doubts-about-bidens-mental-sharpness-trump-leads-presidential-race/

But that's bad because he won 87% to 12% in 2020.

But we did vote Trump out of office, and he left. That's the difference between Republics and Monarchies.

For a while they were like Maroon 5 level over exposed. I don't think I've heard a song from them in a while though.

"Convicted criminal" who is "above the law?"

Seems like he was convicted, thus not above the law.

You keep him from being president by getting enough people to vote against him, or you accept the will of the people.

The 2nd Amendment was originally to make sure militias weren't disarmed, in a time when militias were more relevant. Has nothing to do with political assassination.

BlackBerry Storm, biggest letdown of a phone. Full touch screen but with a click mechanism for haptic feedback. Sounded great, didn't work all that well.

Learning French in the US is such a let down. Spanish is the unofficial second national language and German has the best memes.

Super Delegates don't get to vote in the first ballot anymore, they changed the rules because the Bernie Bros were mad Hillary got a lot of Super Delegates. They didn't want the Super Delegates to be able to do...exactly what you're proposing.

Actually...I guess if we're talking rule changes I guess you COULD change it so Super Delegates voted on the first ballot again, and hope enough Super Delegates were on board, but what an insane crisis of legitimacy that would cause. Like I guess you could change the rules so Nancy Pelosi picks the next Democratic nominee but that's not a good way to make the voters feel heard.

Even if you could change the rules, the delegates were decided by the Biden campaign. Would be hard to convince more than half of them to change their vote without Biden himself asking them to.
