Kamala Harris certainly has not engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the Constitution. The rioters you refer to may have been rebelling against the police, but the local police are not the U.S. Constitution.
Did they burn down federal buildings?
Exactly who burnt down which federal buildings?

Easily. The fact that the South lost the war doesn't mean there was no insurrection. You're confusing "insurrection" with "insurrection that successfully overthrows the government."

So? Ordering an attack is not required to qualify as having "engaged in insurrection."

If you want to beat Donald Trump and MAGA, why not rethink your hard left policies and try to earn citizens votes rather than using banana republic tactics to disqualify and persecute your political opponents?
You've repeatedly shown that you don't understand my politics. At all. First, apparently unlike you, I don't expect people to all vote the same based on race. Second, there are lots of Black and Hispanic evangelicals that have begun to identify with Christian Nationalism. Ridiculous at it seems to associate Donald Trump with anything resembling Jesus Christ, he is the candidate that is giving at least lip service to Christian Nationalism. Third, I have never advocated for keeping Trump off the ballot. Had you asked my opinion, I would have told you that I was not in favor of the Colorado and similar cases. I've argued against your "political persecution" narrative before, and I'm not going to repeat myself. It's a delusion. Unlike you, I don't advocate for a fully politicized justice system top to bottom that is purely political in enforcement. I'm in favor of prosecuting cases solely on their merit and for taking practical action to prevent purely political prosecution.
So, whoever you think you're talking to, it's not me.
You're also making an argument that illustrates your personal hypocrisy. You have stated full support for making it as hard as possible for people likely to vote for a Democrat to vote at all. Trump's cult of thugs is, in reality, a small percentage of eligible voters. Yet it deliberately targets folks who have historically tended to vote for democrats and works hard to keep them from voting at all. If you want to throw around the term "banana republic," you should start with that.

When and at which school did you take this class. And how much was the teacher paid?
