    The people have spoken. The last duty of the outgoing administration is the orderly hand-off to the incoming admin.

    What about this is hard to understand? They’re doing what we ask of them; even if you, me and they fear the next 2 years and then 2 more.

    But I suspect this is just trolling.

      The people moneyed interests in charge of a deeply unrepresentative system have spoken

      Fixed that for you. If not for several kinds of voter suppression and the Dem leadership being deaf to the left two thirds of the base, the GOP would have become permanently uncompetitive to the point of irrelevance DECADES ago.

      What about this is hard to understand? They’re doing what we ask of them

      False, see above. The US is one of the LEAST representative “democracies” in the world even when you DON’T count legal corruption as corruption.

      But I suspect this is just trolling.

      BIG “criticizing Biden means you love Trump” energy 🙄

      They’re doing what we ask of them the people they talk to expect from them.

      I asked for nothing. I wanted Bernie or just anyone with a moral backbone. The howling of the people remained unheard

          I cannot fathom how any decent human being could cast any kind of vote for trump but the people that did are not the actual problem.

          The fact that there where only 2 options of the same 2 cults the majority has gotten tired off is the problem.

          It is post election and we sadly cant redo it. There is little sense to make a “us and them” between voters and non voters besides a subtle “told you so” now and then when leopards eat there faces. Always remember devision is a political weapon used against us. It would be the higher dynamic of the politica Theater working exactly as designed to make sure we the people cant organize power.

            If you want ballot access reform and campaign finance reform, Vote Dem. You’re right that the Trump voters aren’t the problem the almost 7 million voters who stayed home compared to 2020 are.

      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.

      They are trolling, yes. Part of their campaign message was also quite clear about simply not being Trump
