    When the person being tried is a current and former opponent in an election yes it us and anyone suggesting otherwise needs remedial education in the difference between societies with rule of law and those without.

    You’re in a tech job, aren’t you?

      So in order to commit any crime, including murder, which Trump can be charged with as he committed a felony where individuals died, you just need to run for office.

      Weird, I’ve heard this line of reasoning on fox news before.

        That’s not what Im saying at all and I have no idea why you would conclude that given how many times I have clearly stated the issue to you.

          You stated a falsehood, outright misinformation. I am attempting to let you understand why your incredibly short sided point of view is wrong.

          In your world, with the words you have stated, all presidential candidates are immune to prosecution. That’s obviously incorrect, therefore you entire basis of objections is wrong.

            No, I did not and you repeatedly demonstrated a complete lack of understanding on how democracy works.

            Suggesting Biden should intervene in the electoral process is suggesting an action only seen in authoritarian states.

            You have an incredibly flawed understanding of philosophy or how anything works here. Is this because you don’t live in a democracy and only understand how authoritarian states like China works?

              If you think you have to let murderers free because of democracy, you don’t support democracy, you support murder.

              An investigation ending in a jury trial is not, by any standard, despotic nor authoritarian.

              However refusing to bring charges against someone in your same political class because they ran against you or might do so in the future absolutely is authoritarian and is the sign of an oligarchy wherein those with enough money are free from consequences.
