Which is why you need an impeachment as punishment for it can include being barred from holding public office.

Which was stupid. They should have continued to impeach because then they could legally bar him from running from office again.

There is no reason why a president should be immune from prosecution for crimes committed during the presidency.

Can you really think of no way to abuse this? Imagine when Biden leaves office if Texas tries to prosecute him for "dereliction of duty" or on whatever Texas' equivalent of a RICO charge is because his actions "assisted organized crime". Should they be allowed to?

I know that, but that message hasn't been well communicated to the average red voter (likely because of the surprise of the Roe v. Wade overturning).

People are largely against a type of abortion that is almost never used as birth control has gotten so effective. I don't think the average person realizes that roughly half of all abortions have been for medical reasons and not been elective for a long time and that the total number of abortions have been trending downward for a long time.

Dems need to hammer that message home this election and hopefully ads like this are effective at doing it.

This is almost the exact playbook that got Abortion unbanned in Ireland (which is heavily Catholic). The average American conservative when polled, is against elective abortions; but they're generally fine with abortions for medical reasons. And for 20 years the Pro-life crowd has garnered their support by claiming "nobody wants to force women to die in childbirth". Now that that's clearly a lie that's the truth that needs to be pushed. And I believe it will be effective.

"We don't" is the short answer. It's unfortunate, but true.

Maybe the home of Wall Street, the world's largest market, isn't Communist.

The primary feature of LLM's is the hallucination.
