    sitting president is a democrat

    That would matter if the sitting president had some conviction beyond the status quo. He doesn’t, and if they declare Trump is above the law, Biden will staunchly refuse to take advantage of that power…because, reasons.

    The D’s inaction is what got us here. I don’t expect that to change in the next 12 months.

      there’s an inherent conflict in democrats where they want to be politicians while appearing to be above politics and what it ends up meaning is abandoning any position that’s challenged by the opposition as “political”, “divisive” or “agenda-driven”. they’re rich, coddled cowards.

      with that being said, I feel like in most cases Rs are politically adroit enough to pull the ladder up behind them even when they don’t think Ds will bother trying to climb it.
