It would be interesting to see him try. Just the attempt would be a fun and super helpful precedent for the future. However, I'm not sure how invoking it works. What's the process?

Hopefully not

Hopefully he uses his remaining term to unite the country instead of dividing it

> Can Trump Invoke the 14th amendment and strip California and other states of it's electoral votes due to engaging and abetting insurrectionist forces that are operating a rebellion against the US of A(i.e. Big tech in California censoring all information)?
@leftingfighter33 i would support biden if he did that wtf lol. That's crazy

Agree with @Auto . If its over then i hope he accepts it.

Does anyone know what that would look like? Just theoretically, who would have to do what, in order to strip a state of electoral votes as a penalty for abetting criminal acts of private entities?

Usually they withdraw federal funding instead.

Or actively just arrest them.

Them votes tho...

Kinda can't stop feds from doing their jobs.

I'm not for stripping 40 million US citizens of their rights to vote because the state government is doing something shady, sorry.

Hopefully this is a wake up call for all Americans

They might not be opposed to seceding from the union, if everyone agreed. They'd instantly be the 5th largest economy on the planet.

And they decide to improve our election integrity

CAMERA IN EVERY POLLING PLACE

no exceptions

When one of the states leaves, expect more to leave. Expect NY next.

@Zuluzeit if they succeeded then instantly become a much smaller economy due to the decreased consumer availability

Expect Oregon to leave.

Expect Washington to leave.

Texas

Lol none of them are gonna leave

The U.S government is gonna eat them back up

If one left, I foresee many other states leaving.

Well at that point yeah

Just a thought. Trying to fit in better than I have been.

But we are not close to that point at all

Thankfully it looks like the R’s are gonna keep the senate so nothing crazy is gonna happen in the next 2 years

You have to remember that the twitter mobs aren't the same as your average Californian or people that live in blue states.

Yeah lol

Biden is the most right wing democratic candidate there was

Hopefully he successfully unites this country again

I know but I've decided that instead of just dismissing ideas, I want to understand where they came from and how they were conceived and thought out.

People see a very selective view of the other end of the spectrum on both sides.

Crazy morons on Twitter with nothing to do is how they come up

And it's largely the fault of algorithms.

The vast majority of Democrats are definitely not like this

Unfortunately controversial opinions are always bolstered because they create a lot of discussion

The internet in general is what's really not helping with political polarization.

^^^

With algorithms it uses to introduce people to echo chambers, because people don't generally like stumbling upon disagreement.
