    Actually, I don't. I want Dems to work on a strategy that will allow the majority to impose its will on governance the way the minority has. By cheating, stealing, suppressing, acting immorally........if that's what it takes. IOW, fighting fire with fire.

    Or as otherwise called, majority rule or mob rule, like the founders and framers thought of it.

    How has the minority done that? how have they cheated, stole, supressed, or acted immorally?

    The framers of our nation, warned us about things you hope for....hence why they set up Govt the way they did

    Read Madison's Federal No 10..

    So.........when the minority rules, as is the case these days, you call it the intention of the founders. But the prospect of majority rule, according to you, equates to mob rule. Pardon me if I find that logic flawed.

    It's a country some call "The United States of America". You might have heard of it. It's been hot in the news lately...

    You should start by stop pretending you have some sort of majority to begin with. As I recall Hillary did not win a majority of the states, and this country is made up of individual states. Work on that, then get back to us...

    Of the many attempts to deny positions (abortion, gun control, immigration, climate change) represented by the Dems are in the majority that one is among the worst.

    Hillary didn't win a majority of states, if she had, she would be president now. Don't hate the game, hate the loser players you folks keep nominating...

    I don't hate the game. I just recognize the advantage it gives to the minority.

    What minority? You have yet to make a legitimate case for your argument. A majority of states elected Trump, that's working as intended. You folks simply can't handle the fact you lost, and it will be worse when you lose again in Nov...

    The minority does not rule. It tries to keep the majority, the barbarians at the gate, at bay. I suggest you take your argument up with James Madison as struth pointed out.

    If this thread isn't further proof the left wants to fundamentally transform our system of Govt for their goal of tyranny then I don't know what is.

    As often as you folks repeat that ridiculous claim it doesn't make it true. I admit it was hard to swallow to lose to an unqualified conman. Especially by virtue of the EC and not the popular vote. Hence, the need for a strategy to ensure the majority rules as is the case in every other developed democracy.........and every state in the nation.

    Sorry, he's been on ignore for months and months so sometimes I miss his posts unless I make the effort.
    So......the majority are now barbarians at the gate. Hmmm. You do realize Madison can be accused of the same elitism you folks so regularly howl about, right?

    Not so much the loss of the election as the damage inflicted on the country by Trump.

    Crying is crying. That's the difference between your side and mine. You think saying your crying about something else is different, we just see constant crying and cannot differentiate one form from another...

    It is totally unsurprising that you denigrate the father of the Constitution since it is the Constitution that stands between liberty and Democrat tyranny.

    Trumpleton's have always lacked an ability to recognize the nuance in things, that I'll admit.

    Are you confusing crying with growling?

    Speaking of liberty, you take quite a bit of it in describing a country governed according to the wishes of the majority as tyranny.

    Growling with no teeth is even more sad than crying...
