A big unspoken subplot is how many of the alternative options to Biden look dicey because of bad faith conservative legal shenanigans and in-progress attempts to steal the 2024 election. Challenges to putting a replacement on ballots or leaving VP office vacant could result in stolen election
The fact that no electeds last time were punished for trying to steal the election predictably lead to out-in-the-open maneuvering to do the same thing in 2024. It's bad
Back in late 2020 I advocated for expelling all the members of Congress who voted against certifying, then using the rump majorities you'd gain after to pass court reform (who'd ratify the legality of this maneuver). Radical proposal! but the alternatives of doing nothing were more radical
the AG’s delay in prosecuting trump & his ppl until they were on the verge of capturing the nom predictably forced establishment gop into the posture of defending him in a way they wouldn’t have in 2021-22. SC wouldn’t have issued their insane immunity decree if he wasn’t their party’s nominee.
