The people have spoken. The last duty of the outgoing administration is the orderly hand-off to the incoming admin.
What about this is hard to understand? They're doing what we ask of them; even if you, me and they fear the next 2 years and then 2 more.
But I suspect this is just trolling.
No, Biden has a duty to protect the constitution, so letting the fascists take over is a dereliction of duty.
Explain precisely what you want him to do. Should he refuse to hand over power in "defense of the constitution"? Be specific.
you can invade, stage coups and meddle in other countries to bring or protect "democracy" then why not your own?
Let's try this again. Explain precisely what you want Biden to do. He specific. Rhetorical questions don't count.
I'll tell you want I want him to do. Nothing. I want him to retire from politics. I want him to admit guilt that he never put up a fight and never intended to. I want him to be ashamed about the direction he lead the country in. I want him to denounce his stake in the DNC and encourage his peers to do the same.
What is happening now is a major failing of both parties. If they so desperately want to be the only two horses that get to race then they take responsibility for every other horse they've essentially knee capped.
I would only quibble that what you've suggested is not 'nothing'. It's not a lot, but it's far more than Biden (or Harris) has ever done, or are ever likely to do. If either of them did what you suggest, they'd have my respect for the first time.
