    also, removing candidates who attempt to overthrow the government is within the rules.
    trump isn’t a “candidate”

            it’s the same thing, you twat.
            the same fucking thing.
            trump called for his crowd to stop the peaceful transfer of power… they did
            he lied about the vote being stolen, he defrauded the whole country… he attempted to get georgia state officials to lie.
            These other states don’t need a conviction to consider the mountains of public evidence available… trump actually said he intends to be a dictator. He actually said those words directly… and multiple times…
            im not a biden fan, the democrats and republicans have both been full of shit for as long as i can remember.
            but if you would consider voting for someone that declares they plan to be a dictator, well then you’re in the wrong country…

              Legally, it’s not the same thing.

              1. Trump has not been found guilty of “insurrection.”

              2. No one participating in the events of January 6 was convicted of “insurrection.”

              3. Trump was never accused of “insurrection.”

              4. No one involved in the January 6 events was accused of “insurrection.”

              5. Trump was exonerated in the second impeachment trial, which concerned the events of January 6.

              6. Section 3 of the 14th Amendment does not apply to the President according to settled doctrine.

                  SMH. One is an actual action. One is a plot.

                  BLM should have been charged with a seditious conspiracy. There is evidende of that.

                  They went with conspiracy because the burden is lower.

                  So basically the other person is correct and you are wrong. You don’t seem to understand an action vs a plot.

                    "shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. " -14th amendment

                    notice how it doesn’t say “convicted of”
                    … furthermore, the legal definition of “insurrection and rebellion” and “seditious conspiracy” have an almost complete overlap.

                    im sorry you have failed to grasp basic logic, but you know what? there’s a lot of youtube videos on logic… you should check them out! it’s a great opportunity.

                    i recommend you dig into symbolic logic… pretty abstract but i think it helps intuitively

        no one has been charged with insurrection YET.

        Give it a few years, the justice system moves slowly but forgets very little.

      Yeah, I always take the word peacefully as a directive to overthrow the government, but I just never seem to remember to bring weapons…
