States control election.
California is working to prevent any candidate that violates the constitution from being on the ballot
🐝 lot cooler if that happened prior to ‘24 instead of it going the way it did…
I mean Colorado did try to have him removed off the ballot. The Supreme Court said they can't do that.

So yea, people did try.
Biden and Merrick Garland sure as fuck didn't.
Not a single charge brought in four years.
Trump literally could have been in a prison cell on November 6 as Harris won in a fucking landslide against some rando dickhole neocon.
And even today oligarch-loving Democrat leadership won't even consider abolishing ICE if they win.
This is what I was referring to.
tbf Donald Trump still lost California, as would be expected.
Harris won California.
Colorado tried that already and the SCOTUS ran interference for the criminal felon Trump.
So unfortunately, anything that California does now in that regard is performative, as there is now legal precedent that the sitting president can incite a mob through stochastic terrorism to overthrow the government if they lose the election.
