And it is infinitely safer to pay off the next president as well, then to remove the safeguards that protect them from government power.
No, if anything, I expect them using Trump to rig the next election even more, so they can control future puppet presidents even better. Not in obvious ways like ballot stuffing. But campaign donations, access to information, etc. And rotate the puppets out before they can get too powerful and dangerous.
I think we've exhausted this part of the conversation. We don't know what's going to happen next term, because it's in the future. We've both made good arguments. Whether democracy will continue to exist is uncertain.
I don't think the non-voters should have bet their entire country on a gamble like that.
I am not saying that they should have, but it is telling Biden was willing to risk it, since they made their stance clear during the primaries.
PS: Also if you believe that capitalists would be willing to go along with it, it would also make a lot of congressmen, senators and judges redundant. So they may also have something to say about that, even if they are Republican.
I thought we were talking about the voters. Just two days ago, you suggested we reconsider voting for the lesser evil.
