    No, it is more hoping that the rule of law catches up to Trump before the election.

    But if you want DeSantis to win, I’m probably not going to be able to convince you otherwise.

      Rule of law? Dude is walking around giving rallies. It took you dumbasses 2, 3 years? to actually get him sitting in a courtroom. The rule of law would’ve put him in front of a firing squad 48 hours after January 6, but we live in la la land where the instigator of a failed coup led by boat dealers get to play golf while we pay for his security.

      Your rule of law is a joke. Your party only wields power when it comes to undermining poor people. Otherwise the democrats would’ve banned the GOP and arrested every single one of their politicians. If you call them as undemocratic terrorists, then where is the rule of law when they get to stand next to you in the halls of power?

      Given the sclerotic and partisan nature of the US “rule of law” isn’t it irresponsible of them to hope that the courts solve the problem for them instead of trying to run a convincing campaign for their side?

        That assumes the legal option is the only one being pursued.

        There are tons of posts here calling out the political arguments that inflation is falling and the economy isn’t in a recession as political propaganda that may be technically accurate but hide the suffering of common Americans and should therefore be treated as nothing but propaganda to be forgotten.

          I’m not sure how that deals with the problem? Joe is deeply unpopular, people don’t like him and whether you think it’s fair or not people are not enjoying the way things are going right now. Doubling down on “voters feel wrong about how things are going and should vote for this unpopular old man” is not actually pursuing an electoral strategy.

          You suggested they were hoping the law would solve this problem, which is more coherent than suggesting that they’re trying to campaign by calling everybody who dislikes their candidate (almost 2/3 of voters, last count) wrong over and over.

              It would absolutely be funny watching libs spin and steam and blame again instead of ever asking if there’s a good reason why people hate Democrats. That doesn’t mean it’s good, but it’s definitely funny to watch y’all twist yourselves in knots trying desperately to ignore reality

                No, it will be funny so it is good. It doesn’t matter if one side is better than another if both sides are bad. So let the bad happen and hope the next election will bring a communist.

                  No one here thinks your silly elections will bring anything but suffering. Go ahead and vote for Joe, but don’t come crying if he wins 50 million more votes than the GOP candidate and still loses because of the electoral college.

                  I think I don’t really understand your perspective here. Are you trying to tell me that because you can’t find bad things funny that we can’t either, so despite what we clearly say you’re telling us actually we think it would be good if Desantis or Trump (or Biden) were president of the United States?

          I think we got off on the wrong foot here. I’m not some kind of GOP cheerleader, I’m mostly making a joke about how infuriatingly lucky the GOP is, and part of it is that democrats are controlled opposition.
