You’re not being the adult. The adult gets their hands dirty when it’s time to get their hands dirty. Who watches the watchers? The answer isn’t crime fighting vigilantes. It’s other watchers.
Decorum. Rules. Norms. Can and will all be ignored. The Republicans will use every facet of their power and the democrats will pray to the gods of civility that the Republicans stop.
This time is different, though. This time they said they will not freely cede power. I think you will find it makes a big differnce.
Are you saying the Democrats, after called trump’s use of fake electors a threat to democracy, should try that failed tactic?
And are you saying this for 2024? After the Dems lost the popular vote, every swing state, the Senate and Congress, Dems should try to install Kamala as the 2024 winner?
Or that they should do that in 2028, regardless of the outcome or only if Republicana don’t cede power or?
They would be exposing the hypocrites. They already look look like fucking morons for losing to trump, again, so not much to salvage there. Tell me any American could not miss the message when democrats stop the confirmation, roll out their own fake electors, and confirm kamala herself. Hell, have biden make it an official act because why not? Any person to object to it could not be totally lost on them this is exactly what Trump attempted to do and will not be punished for it.
Now, anyone knows this plan will fall flat. That’s not how these things work. It would just stir the pot so brilliantly it might actually get the little brain cell they are guarding to light up.
Yeah, it signals to every both sider that they were right all along, and all the people they’ve been prosthelytizing to might actually start believing them.
If you want to be on the side of democracy, you don’t just decide to stop being democratic unless you’ve given up.
You’re not going to solve anything by playing by their rules, you’re only going to galvanize them. They are the party of “government doesn’t work”, doing this just gives them more ammo.
The government doesn’t work if one side can break the law and walk away scott free and if the other side does the same exact thing they have consequences. What’s there left to argue at that point?

I’m not understanding what you’re trying to say.
Are you saying the Democrats, after called trump’s use of fake electors a threat to democracy, should try that failed tactic?
And are you saying this for 2024? After the Dems lost the popular vote, every swing state, the Senate and Congress, Dems should try to install Kamala as the 2024 winner?
Or that they should do that in 2028, regardless of the outcome or only if Republicana don’t cede power or?
I’m saying they should do the exact same thing trump did and will face no consequences for and see how the Republicans respond in turn.
You want them to simultaneously seem like hypocrites AND idiots?
To what end? Funsies?
