    Those convicted are still on death row. Their experience of authoritarianism hasn’t changed from one president to the next.

    My point is not to use Trump as a yardstick, or even attack Biden. It’s to give perspective on how authoritarian the whole of US politics is.

      No that’s very clearly not what you are doing.

      You have a point you want to make regardless of nuance or fact. There is no death row federal inmates, because now there is no death penalty.

      If you don’t think there is a distance between actually being killed and being imprisoned then you are disingenuous. There are and even good arguments over what is nicer but they do fall to different levels.

      You moved the goalpost after being called out, so while I can agree it is authoritarian I can not trust that you aren’t just tryna ng to look trustworthy when already shown to be not.

        The point is that Biden (and most of us politics) is authoritarian. There is no nuance. Only fact.

        An example of there having been no executions … yet, is not a liberal flex.

        The goalpost is steady.
