"Biden says elections might not be legitimate if reform bills aren't passed"

http://the...itimate-if-the-election-reform

I remember that it was a bad thing when Trump did this sort of thing. I assume its a bad thing when Biden does it as well.

Let's see if the MSM treats them the same.

TW, I have to admit that CNN has been trying to clean up their act lately IMHO.

Yeah, I'm really overwhelmed by CNN's forceful and categorical criticism of that statement.

"7. "It could easily be illegitimate. ... The increase in the prospect of [the 2022 election] being illegitimate is in proportion to not being able to get these reforms passed."

That's how Biden answered a question about whether he harbored concerns about the next election's results being something less than aboveboard. The connection between that prospect and the passage of voting rights reforms -- which, at the moment, appear severely stalled -- is a striking one. If, one has to ask, major voting rights legislation is not passed before the 2022 midterms, does that mean the results -- especially if Republicans win -- are illegitimate?"

i watched the TV coverage, it was broadly critical of that answer & on Ukraine & other things

not sure anyone defended it (though i'm sure if they did, Fox & kargen will find that tiny portion & pretend it's the only view given)

"I remember that it was a bad thing when Trump did this sort of thing."

Slave owners criminalizing fleeing slavery.

I know stand your ground laws apply if someone tries to take you wallet ... I wonder if they apply if someone tries to take your rights.

It would be great if the President of the United States actual stopped states from disenfranchising US citizens and stripping them of their rights instead of whining about it like a little bitch.

Hopefully Biden keels over and Kamala takes over. She's got to have more balls than he does.
