Why the fuck would Sanders break into Walmart hq? This is the dumbest both sides I've seen in a while

Maybe that's extreme, but i could totally have imagined him chaining himself to oil refinery gates or similar shenanigans (at least when he was younger).

I was trying to make the point that if you believe in a politician's end goal, then the means are often justified. Trump's supporters (for the most part) don't want to see him weasel out of this by saying he didn't try to subvert the election, they want him to say that it was imperative for the country that he do what he did, laws be damned.

I doubt it's the best legal defense, but realistically he's going to either be re-elected and pardon himself or he'll drag this out until he dies. I don't see any world in which he's likely to wind up in prison.

There’s a massive difference between fighting for rights of the oppressed and having your sad wittle feewing huwt, and throwing a violent tantrum.

Bernie has historically fought for civil rights, and the rights of the underrepresented. Cheeto supreme and his idiot followers have nothing to be offended about so they fabricate drama. On top of the hate anything that isn’t white/me factor.

Not the same at all. Not even close. Good try though.
