The vice president told a crowd of roughly 20,000 in Dallas that former President Donald J. Trump had said he would terminate the Constitution in a second term.

“Consider: Donald Trump has openly vowed if re-elected he’ll be a dictator on day one, that he will weaponize the Department of Justice against his political enemies, round up peaceful protesters and throw them out of our country and even, and even and I quote, ‘terminate’ the United States Constitution,” Ms. Harris said.

    Which is somehow different than Biden refusing to give up power and drop out despite no one wanting him?

          Lol, yes it’s very different. A dictator is not an unpopular person trying to win a democratic election, or refusing to step down from a position they were elected into and still have remaining time in their term. He’s being stubborn, not a dictator.

          A dictator would be someone who doesn’t leave after losing an election, or who changes or removes the process of elections to remain in power. Among other things that Biden is absolutely not doing.

      Yes! Amazing both sidesing a man that wants to end democracy with a senile moderate.

        Except the part where Biden is no moderate, and several of his policies, he’s been to the right of Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher

            Maybe be accurate when you try to make your points. Biden is much closer to Trump in policies than you probably realize.

              Maybe but give examples when you try to make your points. I’d love to see you show your receipts here.

                    Maybe stop telling me what to do! You’re giving commands like an English teacher and it’s kind of annoying. You can do your own research, I’m not here to debate, just left a quick comment. Bye.

                  Man, if only you listened to your teacher instead of embarrassing yourself on the internet.

                    If you think I am embarrassed by people downvoting me on the forum with the worst community I have yet seen, no. lol. I go here for news stories, the community (you) sucks ass. Way too liberal (derogatory).

                  ^ The comment of a person that has no real point to make.

                  You had every opportunity in this thread to actually point to 1 dictatorial or ultra conservative policy Joe has implemented, and by not providing even 1 example you’re having the opposite of the intended effect.

                  If you’re going to act like you know more than other people about something, it might be a good idea to have some real information on hand. Or, you could always just not say anything at all if you’re uniformed.
