    This is the line. Let’s be honest. That’s the red line. If he actually crosses that line you should do things that the World mods will ban me for saying. But that’s it. That’s the point where any semblance of democracy is totally gone. Where even the most neoliberal Democrat has to know that voting no longer means anything. That’s the point where you have to make a choice. That would be the final Point wherein there is a line of the sand you either put on the red hat and fall in line or you play back. Some would argue we’ve already reached that point mind you, but I think that would be the last reasonable line.

      There’s been many red lines this past year. And this one isn’t even a surprise move, it’s been claimed loudly semi-continuously for five years now. Yet here we are.

      No, this is the goalpost moving.

      Anyone who didn’t see this coming was either living under a rock or mockingly dismissing everyone telling them it’s coming as Russian bots trying to take votes away from Democrats.

          I don’t think they’re late to the party, I think they’re moving the goalposts like I said…

          “Some would argue”… Not them, they wouldn’t argue that.
