25. The idea that Biden should NOT go the dictator route is hardly a 'moderate' one.

All you've given me are reasons why and how it's awful, and we will be dictators, and and and . . .

And none of that matters. Very simple.

Erm, the reason I gave is the US Constitution.

I will never advocate for the destruction of the rule of law, the binning of the entire apparatus of American governance, and the installation of a strongman/woman dictator.

If THAT makes me a 'moderate' then perhaps I am one.
