    They could at least stand behind the messaging from the campaign.

    If you call someone a dangerous threat to democracy for a year, and then when they get elected you wish them well and act civil, it really undermines your point about the whole threat to democracy thing.

      Exactly. I believe Trump truly is an existential threat to the world and American democracy. To Biden and Harris, it was just campaign jargon.

        Because you have no fight in you. Was MLK civil? More than Malcolm, maybe, but no he wasn’t.

        Bernie Sanders has more fight right now than anyone in the upper echelons of the DNC.

          They weren’t president though.

          Presidents, president candidates, and other persons of similar power should just accept that they lost and not do another trump. That’s unless you want a political climate where every election there are fights regarding who won and a bunch of bullshit childish behaviour.

          Presidents are supposed to be professionals and should act like it and that includes not being a bad loser.

          But by all means you should protest every day of his presidency. But also remember that you guys choose this yourselves.

            Apparently, you wrote the rule book and Biden and Harris are following it.
