    I don’t want Trump to win because he’s more likely to create a “presidential crimes commission” full of political appointees going after the other party.

    We have the legal system, if there are crimes they should be charged. The answer is not some additional political tribunal.

      Judge shopping and legislation via court ruling have called into question the fairness and legitimacy of a once ironclad judicial system. It’s being gamed right now by the wealthy and powerful to get what they want.

        Then the answer is fixing those issues. Saying the system isn’t working so we need to ignore it and build out a new system purpose built to prosecute my political opponents is like definitional fascism. We don’t need a strong man to fix everything extrajudicially, we just need the law applied fairly.
