    We disagree. Correctly assigning blame for our current condition matters enormously. One party is trying to preserve democratic principles while one is trying to weaken them.

    Referring to the critics who raise issues about the other party, like what goes in in this forum, not the crap we elect

    And they'll threaten as many SCOTUS judges, pack the courts, burn cities and set up autonomous zones until they get their democratic principles.

    Haven't seen one of them be right on here. Must have missed it like a 75 year comet.

    I'm addressing the thread's topic, not resorting to a mealy-mouthed, limp-wristed "fine people on both sides."

    This must be False Equivalence Day. The actions of a tiny minority who threaten judges or participated in those BLM protests that turned violent do not represent the vast majority of Dems as, say, support for the Big Lie and the Big Liar represents a large portion of the POT and the anti-democratic crusade they are part of.

    An extremist majority on the Court can impose the dogma of a minority upon everyone, but the guardians of America's system of jurisprudence need not tug forelocks and kowtow rather than respect the public will.

    That deflection is much too lengthy a conversation. The point being the views held by Dems on virtually every major issue are in the majority.

    I suppose it would be too much to expect from Merrick, but I'd like to see the sentiment expressed in that letter be applied to the DoJ.

    So you can't think of anything either then.

    I know that's what your flaccid Jedi mind trick would like people to believe, sure.

    Topic is about packing the court, adding more states, and/or doing whatever is needed to control the country forever
    Just like the Trumpers wanted to throw out an election to support his never ending temper tantrum, make voting harder, and do whatever it takes to control elections

    Neither side wants to accept that the majority of people are against their side, either by voting for the opposing party or for the lesser of two evils, No one's platform is fully supported by over half the country

    Making sure dead people don't vote and only qualified votes are counted isn't controlling elections.

    Well it is, but it's the kind that should be controlled.

    I don't think democrats making 20 trips to the same drop box was what the founders had in mind.

    As much as Repubs have tried to obfuscate the notion of it, demonstrable reality, truth, facts, still exist.

    If those measures ensure the majority gains more control, as opposed to the current situation where the minority has undo influence, so be it. That's the essence of democracy. Don't ask me to feel bad about taking steps to keep a vocal minority from imposing their will on me. As Repubs often say, if you don't like it (democracy) you can leave.

    You really must move on from these debunked right wing talking points from yesteryear.

    Get back to me when you can factually rebut the sworn testimony of former Trump admin officials recounting their first hand observations.

    Oh I'm glad Joe Biden was installed as the POTUS.

    Everyone gets a great comparison of 4 great years vs 4 years of democrat incompetence.

    It's perfect timing, really.

    I just don't cast pearls before swine. From time to time I dump a bucket of swill on their heads and laugh at them wallowing in the mud, mostly.
