Is it sad that to be a "good" president, all one has to do is beat trump at the polls (ok the electoral college), and then do nothing else?

A great president would beat trump then roll back the immunity ruling (somehow ;) ) codify roe v Wade, and resign.

Why would they resign and present an undue opportunity for the far right to come to power again?

Would make the vice the president, who then could/would pardon the resignee, making anything the resignee did an official act, and if not then the pardon is the official act.

Yeah… you’re right. I’m an exhausted idiot who is too tired to think straight.

What are you on about ?

Why are you dragging the goalposts down the field ?

[–] cabron_offsets@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Why the fuck would or should anyone who could achieve those things resign?

I kinda wanna see someone paint the White House in tie dye. White is so…. Boring.

Democrats barely even have that much ambition.
