    Copied from another comment you didn’t read.

    No it’s bad precedent.

    Colorado barely had a majority on the decision, three other states ruled differently and Trump hasn’t been convicted of anything yet in Congress or in court.

    Do we want the pre-election period filled with both sides trying to disqualify the other side’s nominee just because they have a majority in their state’s Supreme Court?

      depends, did the other side’s nominee engage in an insurrection in flagrant violation of the constitution?

        His point was that Trump hasn’t been convicted yet. Even though he obviously invited an insurrection, legally he hasn’t until he’s convicted.

        If we set this precedent pretty soon Republicans will be flooding Democrats with bullshit “insurrection” allegations to get them off of ballots. If they have enough control in their state’s supreme Court they might even succeed.

          Republicans are already talking about it.

          It’ll turn into the impeachment fiasco where they try to impeach every president.

          Also every time the democrats do stupid shit. Trump becomes more popular

            I think it is more that Biden temporarily loses support and Trump stays the exact same.

            He doesn’t gain support.

            Republicans need to start talking about policy and how they will govern but that’s typically where they fall apart.

              That is the big flaw of the Republican Party right now. Their policy is stop the democrats. That’s a stupid policy.

              I want to see each party create a policy then meet In the middle. I fully support abortion and it irritates me the republicans for the most part have taken a radical stance on it.

              Compromise isn’t weakness. It’s strength.

                  There is no other option. Just fighting them doesn’t lead to any solution for anyone. Republicans will slowly lose power not because their ideas are bad but because their only goal is to block the Democrats.

                  The world is not black and white. There is a grey area where you have to compromise to be successful as a country.
