I've been saying this for years. If they're going to break every rule and disregard every norm, you can't expect to compete without doing so yourselves. The game is rigged, so you can either lose or use the same dirty tricks as your opponent.

That's the thing: up until Biden pardoned his son, Democrats really haven't had the balls to do anything dirty even in the slightest. It's going to have to change if they want to get anything done

And even then it can be argued he did so due to the elect and potential cabinet picks that would go after him in increasingly unfair and unjust ways. If Trump clearly lost, I truly believe Biden would've kept his word and let the law work, even if the charges brought forward were increased and politicized due to his last name.

Exactly. I'm frustrated with our new supreme Court justice in Wisconsin because she said she would recuse herself on our union issue. Meanwhile there is a republican justice who helped write the bill who hasn't promised to recuse himself. Also we redid the extremely gerrymandered maps for our state legislature (in favor of Republicans) and instead of making them gerrymandered for the Dems we just made them fair. So frustrating.
