Day one of posting a hot take and debating peeps: We need more people who can agree that both the capital riots and Biden’s dementia cover up were very wrong.

I can’t tell if you’re equating the two lol. But if they did cover it up, that’s bad. I’m not convinced they actively tried to cover it up

It doesn’t seem like people are talking about a cover-up despite all of them suddenly coming out and saying Israel is committing war crimes

I mean they’re two completely different situations so I’m not really trying to equate them. I’m just trying to say that I think both sides need to be faster to admit when their party obviously screws up

One was inside the inner circle of the administration and the other was basically most of the party though

And as far as whether the Biden thing happened I’d say his press secretary leaving the party and endorsing a book about it is a pretty solid indication lol

Yeah again that’s why I’m not trying to equate them. Also though the capital riots was not most of the party either

Most of the republicans in office did not want him impeached over that and are willing to rewrite history about it

I don’t think it was a cover up I’m guessing most of them saw that he was coherent most of the time and it makes sense to run an incumbent versus someone who already lost to them. The capitol riots should have been the end of the Republican Party or the very least Trump.

Also Trump never saw any accountability for Jan 6th Biden and arguably the entire democratic campaign got shot down partly bc of him having to step down. It seems like everyone has admitted that what Biden did was wrong to some extent.

I’d say that the Republican Party would have been held accountable for the riots during the 2024 election if Biden had stepped aside sooner

Yes, she focused a lot on voting your values, which is what I’m trying to emphasize^

Were there big riots in 2024? How would Biden stepping down help Republican accountability?

No, I’m saying if Biden had stepped aside sooner I think Harris would have had more time to prepare/win, aided by negative sentiment towards republicans about election denialism

I think that’s easy to say in retrospect but at the time it was a huge risk. Again why would you not run an incumbent who won against the same guy last election? I agree he should have stepped down but the choice they made was rational. I still think it would have been an up hill election for dems regardless.

Idk I think to a lot of people (not just trumpies) it was pretty clear he wasn’t fit to serve another term. Also he won the presidency in ‘20 claiming he was going to be a transitional figure, so I think he should have stepped aside from the get go

I think that’s an ok take I agree ideally he would have I just think people over play how easy the choice was. I also don’t think many people thought Trump was coming back from Jan 6 and all the criminal charges he was facing in 2020. I don’t blame them for running that strategy in the face of an insane authoritarian cult leader.

And I agree it wasn’t just Trumpees that’s why Biden was held accountable. That’s one of my points here that it feels silly comparing the two while one side is never held accountable.
