Anti-Trumpers sure are saying a lot of undemocratic things to save democracy itself from a second Donald Trump term. The Colorado Supreme Court already tried kicking him off the ballot, arguing that he was an insurrectionist and therefore ineligible to hold office. The Supreme Court killed that idea, but Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold remains butthurt:
Calm down, lady.
Now another fearless defender of democracy, Keith Olbermann, is demanding that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. be stricken from the ballot because of his view on January 6. Kennedy told an interviewer, "I have not examined the evidence in detail, but reasonable people, including Trump opponents, tell me there is little evidence of a true insurrection. They observe that the protesters carried no weapons, had no plans or ability to seize the reins of government, and that Trump himself had urged them to protest 'peacefully."
Now being an insurrection denier is grounds for removing from the ballot.
Who's going to force him?
Interesting take — Trump should be removed from the ballot for inciting an insurrection, and Kennedy should be removed from the ballot for not calling it an insurrection. That would just leave Joe Biden on the ticket. That doesn't sound very democratic.
