His record is great, and the alternative is the end of democracy.

What more do you want

His record is great

i’m want to assume that you mean his record for the last 3 years because the last 51 years has been very bad; but even those 3 years were hit and miss.

but then again, if you only look at the last 3 years of his life, kissinger was a pretty good guy too.

the best thing biden has going for him is that he’s not trump. and that’s not sustainable.

I’ve heard this before. What do you people mean when you say “end of democracy”?

He’s on record as talking about not being restricted to a third term. SCOTUS has ruled that he can do no wrong, specifically in the context of him being brought to trial for asking for the vote to be rigged in his favour, but also for inciting armed insurrection against the United States government in order to keep him in power after the rules said he should go. He has talked, out loud, about being a dictator on day one and said that he should be allowed to order the death of people who oppose him. You could argue that Russia is a democracy, but the kind of “democracy” where political opponents are murdered and vote counts are changed in favour of the leader are better called dictatorships.

The thinking is that Trump will do something for the republicans to remain in power permanently.

Not clear what that something is.

Last time he was in a position of power, he tried to organize a coup against the US government. It’s not a stretch to think that might be his starting point.

Extreme gerrymandering

RepubliQan staffed voting approval boards that change the outcome

Blatantly unconstitutional laws to prevent minorities from voting (even more than they have now)

Troops at the polls

Some of these are already passed in red states.
