No, that's now how case law works. You provide evidence that someone has been charged with this, and that the judge ruled in the defendant's favor. This is very simple.
This was your exact reasoning for why it should be legal. But sure, call it a strawman if you want.
No, that's not how presidential midterms work. Presidents don't make promises based on what happens when congresspeople win. The congresspeople make promises on what they will do when elected.
A president's job is not impacted whatsoever by the results of a midterm. If he wants stimulus checks, he can try do it with Dems in office too. He's very clearly using it as a financial incentive to influence which candidates people vote for.
Vote buying examples are a short search away. "If the Republicans win, I'll give everyone $5000" is the national scale version of it.
??? They do both.
If being opposed to blatant fraud makes you label me as a "Blue MAGA" then that's quite the point of view. I don't remember stating my political bias once, and this controversy extends across the aisle.
But sure, since you're asking, I lean left, though I'd hardly call it "blue" with where the Dems are at.
