No, it still matters. If Biden made such a declaration, most people would declare that declaration invalid.
Because it would be completely without any Constitutional basis.

At best it it would be ignored, at worst it would cause a Constitutional crisis. It would be a very bad idea.

It just remains to be seen how the real election goes, and if the winner is Biden, what he decides to do about it.

With a lot of liberals, it's never over. Heck, some of them still can't get over 2016!

They're not calling to ban an entire mainstream political organization by branding them a terrorist group and using the DHS to suppress them - which, to put it mildly, is completely insane.

But the GOP is a Right-Wing extremist/terrorist organization.

They actively terrorize the US population by stripping it of its rights, freedoms, and protections and want to reform the US into a modern day Russia. What about that isn't evil?

What are you talking about? State-run entitlement programs aren't anyone's rights or freedoms. I literally don't have any idea what you're talking about XD
