Strange, their idea of a "coup". That they would think a democratic process, such as Joe stepping down and Kamala winning the delegates needed for nomination, was some sort of "coup", but the attack on our Capitol and the attempt to stop the vote count of the Electoral College is never mentioned as a "coup" at all.
It is very telling that they even bring up the word. They know what it means and they know what January 6th means. They just don't want to admit it in polite company.

(1,259 posts)* It makes the GOP look weak the more they complain. LOL. Like they are scared.
* Our delegates haven't voted yet, so we don't have an official nominee. So there is no switch.
* Both Biden and Harris won our primary. So we were already voting to have Harris replace Biden if Biden couldn't serve.
* Any candidate could have, and still can, decide to run against her. No one has.
* Massive donations from small donors show how excited our voters are. Not a sign of a "coup". LOL

(28,780 posts)Trying to stop the certification of a free and fair election by literally scaling the walls of Congress and hoping to hang the VP: Not a coup.
Putting forward a compelling Black-Asian American woman as a proposed presidential candidate: a coup.
It must be exhausting to be a Republican. Thinkin is HARD.

(32,737 posts)That's definitely where they're at now. They really do think we are all blind and stupid. But, like all the rest of the poo they're flinging, this latest shit is only going to stick to on them. And, it's certainly not going to knock Couch Fucker's cat lady and other comments out of the news cycle.

(7,564 posts)No different than labeling cigarettes, climate change, the failed attempt at overthrowing our government. This is the same thing.
Like smoking or even climate change. The idea isn't to PROVE smoking is safe or PROVE there is no climate change, it's just to cast doubts. The idea here is NOT to prove there was a coup, just cloud judgement in the minds of people that the Democrats "did something wrong". They know damn well this isn't a coup, to call it that is breathtaking. All they are doing here is building a contingency for their side.
Same with the J6 insurrection attempt; muddy the waters enough (Anitfa, FBI, peaceful protests) and a lot of people will be confused. Again, the idea here isn't to prove right or wrong, just doubt.
