do you honestly think the checks and balances in the US federal system have slipped so far that you need to fear an authoritarian president who is mostly driven by the radical wing of their party?
i found Bernie Sanders to be the least scary guy on stage, he doesnt have a chance of passing 1 in 10 of his wants list.
The checks and balances have been eroding for many decades and government power has exploded already.
Biden and Harris aren't representing a fringe of the democrat party politicians. Its an unholy alliance of establishment politics and garbage far left ideas that have been allowed to go unopposed in democrat circles.
The democrats will get in line to support all kinds of terrible and disastrous policies, yes. They essentially act as a monolith and will continue to do so.
They are betting favorites to control both chambers of congress and the presidency. A lot of damage can be done.
She has also threatened to abuse executive powers to butcher the 2nd amendment if congress doesn't act swiftly enough for her tastes.
The supreme court thankfully has a conservative majority, but they might hear
some cases several months or years down the road.
Does anyone really think they are going to shut down all of the terrible policies?
People are still talking about the supreme court maybe getting around to ruling against the blatantly unconstitutional Obamacare so we better not confirm ACB the scary nice lady.
oh. and the democrats want to pack that supreme court. fun.
