    When he knew it was too late to finish it during his term. He ran out the clock.

      So your options were re-elect the team who are following the process but started late and put and end to federal prosecutions while he was in office, or re-elect the guy whose last AG was 100% against any reform attempts and actively prosecuted offenders.

      But no, go ahead and tell me how Trump was the better option here. This is why the republicans win. Everything on the left is a purity test where we endlessly belittle our politicians for not delivering everything all at once on day one, while the right makes plans that span decades to take power. Look at the Federalist Society. It took them decades to arrange for the moment where they would have decisive control over the judicial branch so they could crime with impunity. But tell me how Biden not completing a five year process in four years was too slow.

        Maybe Democrats should have their own Federalist Society then. They’re the ones running the party and if they can’t implement the sort of multi-decade program that it takes to produce real change then maybe they’re shit at their jobs.
