No, because Democrats tend to have principles.

Have you not seen Harris' campaign ads? They did a full 180 on immigration, gun rights to ponder to more conservative voters.
Those ads were so incongruent, they got featured on one of post-election "Daily Show" episodes.

Yeah, and she seems to have lost millions of Dem voters because of it. (Folks I follow on social media were complaining about this pivot.)

..until proven inconvenient when exercising raw power.
Anyone want to renege on his word to pardon his son?

Let's not forget that the Hunter Biden prosecution was a vicious, lie-filled witch hunt from the start: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/alexander-smirnov-pleads-guilty...
Coupled with an inbound fascist administration that's howling for blood and revenge against the Democratic establishment, this (somewhat reluctantly) strikes me as a sensible reason to issue a pardon.

Let’s not forget that Hunter Biden is an adult man with free will and did in fact commit crimes. It might be sensible to pardon, but that outcome is opposite of what the president said he would do. It’s okay to point that out.
So now what? Will Democrats start cozying up to the oil oligarchs? Sounds ridiculous, but ... do they have a choice?
