This is a reasonable take.
Yes, it is. So much for Biden uniting the nation. Not that that was a reasonable expectation anyway.

I'm never sure where Ann Althouse: lies on the political spectrum. But she can be counted on the cut through the bullshit.
"I've been thinking about the principle expounded in these 2 cases (at the link) — "the people should choose whom they please to govern them" — in the context of the present-day effort to exercise governmental power to disqualify Donald Trump as a candidate for President.
Please consider this post a continuation of yesterday's post — "[The spectacle of a former president facing criminal investigation raises profound questions about American democracy](link url)" — where I said: "The urgency to stop Trump feels like a mistrust of the people. The deplorable subsection of America shouldn't have elected him the first time — so goes the elite opinion — and we can't let those people have another chance to give this man power. That's anti-democratic, and yet isn't it why the oligarchy presents itself as serving democracy?"

Meh. I really think it’s just politics - trying to make the election about Trump and his delusionsal whining about 2020.
In a sense Trump has already been doing this, to the horror of many other republicans who want to run on inflation, schools etc.

Yes, but Biden is hardly unique in that regard.

Yeah, but he crossed a pretty big line in PA with the Marine Corps Band.

All y'all are missing the point.
Your biggest concern should be the extremism, as represented by Trump and the MAGA Republicans, that threatens the democratic norm and the very foundations of our republic. -

I hear a lot of horseshit about democracy, until the Left runs into somebody they really don't like.

Biden is polling at 38%, so, there's that.
So, the guy in the circle is an extremist.

LOL. He forgot what he said 18 hours ago:
Doocy: "Do you consider all Trump supporters to be a threat to the country?"
Biden: "I don't consider any Trump supporter a threat to the country."

Note that 71% of responding democrats agreed that "It is an acceptable campaign message to be expected in an election year."
"Campaign message" in a purportedly non-political speech.
