Thus disarming the lie that he’s a dictator that is spread by fine people like Donald Trump, Elon Musk and Lemmy tankies.

    If he’s suggesting that he’ll step down to appease people calling him a dictator, then he’s a fool like Al Franken was when he stepped down during the #metoo movement a few years back. Stepping down because someone called you a name does nothing but empower the other side to do more bad.

      Meh, he’s just saying this because a) he can and b) to dissolve a popular talking point in far left/right circles. He can leave office, unlike the actual dictators/dictator-wannabes who are accusing him.

        It’s a distraction invented by the other side and should not be given credence of any kind (except maybe a huge eye roll).

      He’s not stepping down because someone is calling him a name, he is offering stepping down as a way to end the war.
