Elections What does threat to democracy mean?

[Rational Poster]

IF he'd lost a democratic election this wouldn't have happened though. He didn't.

I mean, they selected him as a candidate, they could have just not. The GOP could have impeached and charged him, it was totally on them to do so, but the literally said they just don't want to do it.

The crime of giving some slut money to keep it a secret? Oh my God he's literally Charles Manson.

Lmao, he got charged for that already retard. I'm talking about the Federal cases.

All insane I agree. Somehow he's managed to turn states and demographics that voted against him so something must be terribly wrong.

Kamala just sucked as a candidate and global inflation was a real thing impacting a lot of people that the Biden admin gets blamed for.

The GOP would rather run a criminal that they even admit should be charged, but they wouldn't do it because it might cost them an election.

They didn't even require him to participate in the primary, they just gave it to him because they would rather have a better chance at winning.

Bro you are actually retarded and don't know what you're talking about. The "Business receipts" thing was also part of the Stormy Daniels shit.

I'm talking about the federal charges.

That's the second time you've called me that and for the second consecutive reply, while I have not hurled any insults at you whatsoever. I know you think you're saying something about me, but instead you're really saying a lot about yourself.

Sorry to hurt your feelings snowflake.

But if I have to explain this about to you multiple times, what should I think of you?

 

[Lycandroid]

there is no bigger crime than what the Democrats did to the country during the last 4 years.

Not to mention all the Ukrainian blood on their hands, and you say you don't want criminals in the white house.

What a joke.

 

[LeonardoBjj]

- I think the fact that he asked his Storm-Troopers. to try a coup has a little something with this slongan!

No you misunderstood, you're only hurting yourself, I'm a 2006 sherdog account bruh my feelings are beyond numb to these outbursts.

And you haven't explained shit, lay out his terrible crime and why we should give a shit and we'll go from there.

Uhh. How are the Democrats at fault more than Russia on Ukraine deaths?

Dragging on a war that could never be won would only result in the deaths of Ukrainians who otherwise would still be alive. Pressuring Ukraine to reject every possible peaceful resolution only result in the deaths of Ukrainians.

Not even once has there been an attempt to end the war or stop it from escalating further.

Never said they are more at fault than Russia is, but the did absolutely nothing to save Ukrainian lives, they pushed them into the fire.

Russia as potential ally is now forever off the table and now you have the 5 biggest militaries besides the US forming an alliance both economic and militarily against the US.

Probably one of the biggest failures of all time.

McCarthy cut a deal with Trump after January 6th to get speaker if he blocked impeachment.

If I have to explain this to you I think less of you.

Even less than a retard? I thought I was already at the bottom and got no place to go but up.

Anyway I accept your surrender.

Should this be my reaction?

I feel like you're somehow expecting it to be, but it makes me feel more like:

I think it comes down to Jan 6th for a lot of Dems. They fully believe that Donald Trump ordered protestors to the Capitol to stop the election and overthrow the government. He absolutely told them to show up and protest (peacefully) and it turned into a riot. It wasn't a coup, it wasn't an insurrection. They say that is a threat to democracy because he didn't accept the election results and protested it.

There is evidence of voter fraud. Was it enough to overturn the election? I don't know. His people seem to think so.

People rightfully protested the Gore/Bush election and said they would fight the results. When results are that close, you do have to investigate voter fraud. That's not a threat to democracy, it's making sure that democracy exists.

The real threat to democracy to me is censorship and Dems have fully embraced "good' censorship. If they ever want me back, they have to drop that shit from their rhetoric along with the hyperbolic statements like calling people Hitler that are simply conservative.

When folks on the left talk about Republicans being a "threat to democracy," what does that mean exactly? It seems like when people vote for someone other than a Democrat, it's a "threat to democracy." But when people vote for their preferred candidate in fair elections, isn't that democracy? Kamala being selected vs. elected as the Dem nominee is the only recent example of an undemocratic process that I can see.

So, no—the issue isn’t voting for a republican.

Donald Trump was part of a felony scheme in 2020 to submit fake electors in 7 states. When we say “fake electors,” we mean that based on the votes of the people—i.e, democracy—his slate of electors should not have been the one chosen. The votes of the people in those states mandated that his opponent (Biden in this case) get the electors. Had they ended up being accepted, he would get credit for electoral votes that he did not earn, and would have disenfranchised 13.2 million voters across those 7 states.
EDIT: plus become president despite not actually having had the votes, popular and electoral, to do so.


So, that is a threat to democracy by definition—a literal attempt to subvert the democratic process and the electoral vote count through criminal, fraudulent means.
