Ok, everybody had their fun saying Biden should just disappear his political enemies because it’s allowed now. It’s a new day, and those jokes are all old now, and also they’re cynical and stupid and counterproductive.
Democracy is on the ballot. Stop fucking acting like it’s already gone.

Curing cancer or developing a unified model of subatomic physics are fundamentally hard problems. Winning the presidency and both Chambers, changing Senate procedures, expanding the courts, adding state(s) and strengthening voting and civil rights is more a question of political competence and will.
