    although he hasn’t been found guilty by courts or congress

    It’s not a legal trial, it’s not a law, it’s an amendment to the constitution. No finding of guilt by a court is required.

    This is bad precedent.

    Blocking a presidential candidate from a states ballot because they violated the 14th amendment by engaging in an insurrection is bad precedent? Your argument is a little silly, Republicans already work in contradiction to the laws and constitution, doesn’t mean Democrats or the American people in general should not follow them.

      What’s stopping the republicans from doing the same to Biden?

      That’s what the people who are taking offence to what I’m saying are not seeing.

        Did Biden participate in an insurrection? Unless some very big news went under the radar Republicans can’t disqualify Biden under the 14th amendment. That’s what you’re not seeing.

        Your argument is don’t uphold the 14th amendment to the constitution because Republicans might try to unlawfully disqualify Biden from the ballot? I don’t believe you don’t understand how absurd that is.
