    that’s actually one of the better things about your system. you can’t take your political opposition out of the race by arresting them.

      actually one of the better things

      is it really though?

      It backfires when the crimes are seen by everyone and the justice takes years. Imagine if Ginny Thomas had been indicted around May 2021. That takedown may have neutered the supreme court’s overreaches (immunity, roe, etc) - yet here we are.

      When the criminals get away with their crimes on the national stage over and over again, maybe some people need to be arrested and prevented from participating in the very election system they undermined.

      One side is using that faith in the process to undermine the entire institution.

        Not sure why you’re downvoted.

        This is painfully obvious and half of the country (more likely 1/4th but enough to swing a vote) agrees.

        What an absolute fucking tragedy.

        Have you ever wondered why it’s never been different?
