Who is the "pardoning the turkey" even for anymore? Who still thinks it's a funny joke besides the ruling class flaunting their power at us? What a gross fucking farce. When I am prez things are gonna change around here.

Especially because they still eat (different) fucking turkeys

I forget that this is an actual thing and not just a funny historical factoid used for silly plotlines in cartoons.

Like all libs/Dems he wants the same thing fascists/Republicans want, he just doesn't want to be the one to pull the (semi-metaphorical) trigger. He's fine with these people being executed, he just doesn't want to be viewed as responsible for it.

Hell, the only reason this is being brought up at all is he/the Dems lost. If Kopmala won she wouldn't have pardoned anyone/commuted their sentence to life in prison, they would have been stuck on death row until the next execution-happy pres got in
