    Democrats are and have been on board with defunding the police, literally the only institution capable of defending our institutions through the enforcement of law and order…and its democrats that are defending our institutions?

    The ignorance and gall that you have to have to be the party of anarchy and claim to be a defender of American institutions that you think are all racist. Are our institutions all racist and need to be destroyed or are they all great and need to be defended? It’s hard keeping up with your constant BS

    Also it is Joe Biden and Democrats trying to say people who are getting involved with the school board are terrorists.

    People participating and democracy according to Joe Biden and the Democrats are terrorists.

    Policy wise? Mostly a virulent opposition to free market principles. And the abject xenophobia, but that's related. And their insistence on spreading the Big Lie and trying to steal elections. That's what makes them "Trumpy" as opposed to conservative.

    There's a reason that, for the first time in the party's history, the GOP didn't publish a platform for the 2020 election and instead said they would just obey Trump's agenda. Because, within the party, Trumpism had beaten political conservatism.

    Ah, intention doesn’t matter. The other side never packed the court or are you under the impression of replacing vacancies is the same? Can’t help you with that cognitive dissidence.

    Please provide evidence of your incredulous claims.

    No doubt you are twisting facts.

    Asking questions with false premises is a sign of delusion.

    Didn't you get the memo? Posturing (in all it's flavors ) doesn't improve your argument.

    Doesn't ****ing matter what it is, I'm talking reality. You're pettifogging the debate with unimportant details.

    So some deep state stooge is afraid the American people will wake up and return our country to being a true republic? What's so wrong with having our country ran by elected leaders instead of unelected people in government.

    They aren't worried about preserving healthy American institutions. They are worried about party and elite power and control. They want puppet presidents under the authority of non elected officials. The people cannot be trusted to have a true republic.

    SCOTUS being representative of the nation's political ideology is THE stupidest, most illogical reason I have ever heard for expanding it.

    It is NOT SCOTUS's job to represent the country. Full stop. Period. End of story. That job belongs to Congress. Not SCOTUS.

    SCOTUS is supposed to be neutral as possible and rule on the Constitutionality of laws passed. That's it. If they were meant to be representative then they would not have lifetime appointments and they would be elected.

    And no. The court is not stacked. And your belief that it is is nothing but propaganda to try and excuse stacking the court. Which is adding seats to the court in order to create a better possibility that the outcome of a ruling goes in your favor. Stacking is not filling seats that became empty at an inconvenient time for your party.

    How exactly does Republican voters choosing to vote third party or not at all help the GOP or Trump? Both options rob the GOP of what would have been a vote.

    The opposite is true. A 6/3 court is what we have, and that serves only the interests of a minority of the nation.

    You have already admitted to being a Dem and believing dems are better for society in spite of results showing otherwise. On the subject of being delusional, you're not wrong, you're just not pointing with clean hands.

    A vote not for the person who is mostly likely to beat Trump, helps Trump in a close race.

    A simple analogy: Let's say a race is 1000 votes for Trump, 990 votes for Biden, and 100 votes for third party.

    Had the third party votes be casted for Biden, Biden would be the winner.

    Withholding votes from the GOP is our way of letting them know they can’t take us for granted. Get back on board with your conservative, small government ideals...you know, those ideals you brag about when you want our votes, and then forget all about after you’re elected. Yeah, those ideals.

    Actually, I gone even further than just withholding my vote from the GOP, I left the party. They can win me back if they every decide to walk the walk, be a real Conservative party.

    Doofen, we've beat this horse dead, before, but, though I know you will choose to ignore it and give me CA stats, the fiscal health of the nation is the thing that proves the case, and when it comes to fiscal policy, that's governed at the federal level, not the state, so the stats that will support your position are those viewed for the nation, as whole, so I will repeat this argument we beat to death, in the past:

    Results do not show other wise. Results, when the nation is taken as a whole, over time, disregarding the ups and downs of individual states, overall, democrats are clearly better

    10 of 11 recessions occurred when a republican was president.

    Both instances of when the nation crashed and led to a depression, or close to it ( 1929 and 2008 ) A republican was president.

    Dems do better for America than repubs, and the statistics prove it.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._economic_performance_under_Democratic_and_Republican_presidents

    Historically, the United States economy has performed better on average under the administration of Democratic presidents than Republican presidents since World War II. The reasons for this are debated, and the observation applies to economic variables including job creation, GDP growth, and stock market returns. The unemployment rate has fallen on average under Democratic presidents, while it has risen on average under Republican presidents. Budget deficits relative to the size of the economy were lower on average for Democratic presidents.[1][2] Ten of the 11 U.S. recessions between 1953 and 2020 began under Republican presidents.[3]

    http://www.presidentialdata.org
    • Ten of the last eleven recessions have occurred under Republican Presidents.
    • Democratic presidents create more than twice as many jobs per year as Republican Presidents.
    • Republican presidents' deficits are 54% larger than Democrats' and 65% higher as a percent of GDP.
    • GDP grows 75% faster under Democratic Presidents.
    • Business investment has grown twice as fast under Democratic Presidents than under Republican Presidents.

    So your delusion is better than theirs. Got it. Politicians are not responsible for growth, only the degree in which growth is hindered.
