    It almost did. Jan 6th was a coup attempt.
    On the campaign trail a day or two ago he literally said, “…we’ve been waging an all-out war on American democracy.”

    But go on and insist it is “both sides” to up your edgelord cred. You’re never going to find any politician that agrees with you on every issue. Unless you get off your ass and run, which we know is too much effort for you.

      There was no mechanism for it actually succeeding. It was an attempt the same way a child attempts to transform into a bird.

      Jan 6th was a coup attempt.

      And 2000 was a coup success. What’s your point? Something about protecting a democracy?

      Browbeating people into voting for a satanic right wing warmonger was a losing strategy in 2016 and it’s a losing strategy now. There is a massive chance now that Biden will lose as a direct result of his actions in Gaza. This is directly Biden’s fault and no amount of fearmomgering about January 6th will change it, for the record most people don’t really even care.

      If you’re concerned about losing “our democracy”, blame the DNC. That they’re content with running a senile maniac who is actively facilitating a genocide should enrage you more than people online expressing their disgust with his criminal behavior.

        Yea if democrats are so fucking concerned about democracy maybe they should, I don’t know, support one of the policies 80% of their base is loudly telling them matters to them.

        Like not having Biden be the nominee.

      a half assed and unserious coup attempt. Trump wasn’t even directly involved it was less than a riot

      The issue I disagree with Biden on is whether there should be a genocide

        He’s being charged with it because he CAN be linked directly to it. Half ass or not, it was a coup attempt. Saying it was half assed or not serious is exactly what people said about the Beer Hall Putsch. Look what happened after.

        And you can’t blame Biden for what Hamas did.

              Hamas did not do this. Israel did this. None of this would be happening if they hadn’t been carrying out a genocidal project of colonialism and apartheid the last 75 years.

                Yeah but Hamas also did this. Palestinians would regularly march against Hamas with the protest slogan “I want to live!”,

                You’re stanning for the arab equivalent of the cops who got the “I can’t breathe” slogan out into the public consiousness.

                They are the equal partner of the Israeli state in the continued war of genocide against the Palestinian people, who’ll just fuck off to egypt with their looted billions once the IDF decides to wipe gaza off the map.

              2 comments from telling us all we have to vote for your candidate to literally telling us to go fuck ourselves.

              Democrats are so fucking good at campaigning.

                  Lmao I can take it just fine I’m not over here crying because you told me to go fuck myself I’m laughing because apparently that’s your strategy to get people to vote for a candidate they don’t like.

                  “I know you don’t like him and he’s explicitly said he won’t do anything you want but have you co sidereal go fuck yourself”

                  Wow you’ve really convinced me

                  Seems like we’re back where we started where we both think the other can fuck off and I’m deffinitly still not voting for somebody doing genocide

          Nobody’s blaming Biden for what hamas did they’re blaming him for the genocide Isreal been doing in response.

          By the way he just approved sending a bunch of bunker busters so Isreal can bomb even more hospitals indiscriminately.

          It was a coup attempt in the same way me screaming in my backyard is an attempt to become a super saiyan. Nothing happened. A bunch of meemaws and idiot conspiracy theorists milled about the house and Senate. They didn’t even have the gumption to take a shit on the podium.

          They had their true enemies within spitting distance and none of them threw a bomb or fired a shot. They took selfies. Absolute morons.

        Bitch he literally tried to choke out his driver so he could go there himself to lead the insurrection in person.

        Nevermind, the palestinians here in the states who’ll tell you that as much as Biden sucks, Trump’s issue is that we’re not doing it here too.

        Hey they had to shoot a gun exactly one time to get every single person to go home as soon as the concept of consequences metastasized in their brains.

        How are we supposed to stop them next time.
