I’m gonna assume they’re doing this to avoid setting a precedent where a Dem candidate can be removed for any reason later on. Not to say there isn’t plenty of reason for Trump, but it’s a dangerous place to be.

If a Dem candidate plots an insurrection, they should be removed from the ballot.

I think the danger they are talking about is that they might only need an accusation of insurrection, not a conviction to do this.

Think about Congress’s impeachment probe into Biden without evidence.

SeabassDan ,

Yes, we agree. Not exactly what I meant. I’m all for Trump being completely excluded, but the GOP has made a habit of using what’s put in place to avoid any wrongdoing to try and disrupt the good ones from getting things done.

cheesebag ,

Yeah that’s something I’ve been thinking about lately. I worry about creating tools for them to misuse. But then again, Democrats didn’t use faithless electors against Trump, they didn’t try to violently steal an election- Republicans did that all on their own. So… 🤷🏼‍♂️

SeabassDan ,

They haven’t been playing by the rules for a while now, so there’s no point in a good faith attempt to fix politics anymore.
