Donald Trump is objectively the correct answer here, personal political opinions aside.

Well given that Trump tried to overturn the election… I don’t see how an objective observer wouldn’t pick him here

But certainly, indicting your opponent and trying to keep him off the ballot is also very anti-democratic, so I totally understand where you’re coming from

Biden didn't sue to keep Trump off the ballot.  In Colorado at least, it was a group of Republican voters.

And as for indictments: when someone apparently commits a crime -- let's take the classified documents case, which is a serious crime for which the evidence is overwhleming -- they should face the criminal justice system for it.  Running for office shouldn't give you a pass for it; no one is above the law.  And of course, the state-level indictments aren't under the federal government's control at all.

Easy to find a handful of people in any camp with tens of millions of members to support whatever ridiculous cause you want. The case was bankrolled and directed by liberal activists.

Regardless, Biden's DOJ is clearly targeting Trump

Do you think that any candidate for President should be automatically immune from being indicted? 

When someone apparently commits a crime -- let's take the classified documents case, which is a serious crime for which the evidence is rather overwhleming -- they should face the criminal justice system for it.  Running for office shouldn't give them a pass for it; no one is above the law.  If someone NOT running for President did the same actions, do you think they should be prosecuted for it?  Please answer yes or no.

And of course, the state-level indictments aren't under the federal government's control at all.

One has to acknowledge some of the anti-democratic things that the DNC has done to rig it in favor of Clinton and later Biden, but that pales in comparison to what Bush and later Trump did.

Is that the same DOJ that targeted Democratic Senator Bob Menendez, Democratic Congressman Henry Cuellar, and Hunter Biden, the son of Joe Biden?

Anyone voting "Joe Biden" is threat to democracy, and to our Republic.

The DOJ tends to target criminals, yes.

Not just that, also doing everything to remove third party candidates from the ballot, like sabotaging RFK for instance. It's always the same.

Not protecting the first amendment, the right to have an opinion, freedom of speech, protest too.

It's just what Trump does is a lot worse, but Democrats don't have a free pass here either.

Worrying about an Eday, keep worrying about it Biden is busy fundraiser on Act blue he isn't that  concerned about Eday we are all anxious. There is a difference between anxiety and concerning.

Concerning means I am gonna lose, anxious means we are gonna win, stop worrying relax, that's what I learned in counseling most of us live in safe states anyways

All Biden needs is a combo of ME 2 NEB 2, NV, VA, NH and the rust belt plus GA or AZ and NC and he wins

It's Trump that's the threat, if he is free Maga Rs are gonna think J6 is a joke and keep raising money off of it

Trump obviously. I don't like Biden but any threat he might pose to democracy pales in comparison.
