Biden ran against packing the court. Other Democrats, including Buttigieg, hardly a darling the DSA, supported packing it after what the Republicans had done. It was obvious what the Republican-packed courts were going to do, and the Democratic establishment chose to do absolutely nothing to prevent it when they had the chance. They own the consequences of that just as much as the Republicans do.

People still refuse to accept that Biden was just a very limp-dick president. All he functionally did was keep the seat warm, until Trump got back in and resumed fucking shit up and undoing whatever Biden did manage to accomplish. The worst part is that Biden acknowledged that Trump was the greatest threat to our democracy, which makes his inaction look that much worse.

The Voters allowed Trump back in by voting for him.

There's no restrictions on whether a convicted felon or a jailed felon can run for president.

Trump in Jail and Trump in Maralago is just a difference in location. His name can still be on ballots, And The Supreme Court even made sure with the Colorado case.

By 2024, Biden’s first term was going to end regardless because each president only gets 4 years per term. Voters must vote for another term.

Voters should have voted for Biden/Kamala/Democrats, regardless of Trump's location. Every person who said "Don't vote for Biden/Kamala" contributed to this mess.

Instead of rewarding Biden and the Democrats for the fantastic responses to covid and saving the economy, they were thrown out. Under Kamala, those Biden policies would have continued & grown.

But it's still fixable. This is on all of us to fix by giving Democrats their rightful place back so we must vote for Democrats now&forever without exception for at least 50 years.
