    I don’t think there really can be a plan. Like what would you want Biden to do to shore up democracy?

    One of the inescapable, fundamental, bedrock concepts of democracy is that people will not vote for a corrupt, criminal, authoritarian, self serving demagogue.

    If a society can’t achieve that basic state then they can not be a democracy.

    Honestly, I suspect that the best thing Biden can do is to “grey rock” the American people and hope that Trump self combusts, which seems to be what’s happening.

    That said, that’s just the best Biden can do. The dems need an actual leader that can inspire the american people to see a better version of themselves.

      Did you mean to have the word “not” in your second paragraph? Because people absolutely vote for leaders like that all the time lol.

      Oh I think I see. I agree that we’re not a real democracy.
