    Oh the irony!

    Btw, might be a good time to learn the difference between a criminal court and a felony/misdemeanor type conviction and a civil lawsuit. :) You're welcome.

    I know this may come as a great surprise to you, but not everybody agrees with you.

    I think January 6th was the wrong way to protest, but that is all.

    Progressivism is a far greater concern to the health of the nation. By a landslide.

    We have elections in this country for a reason. You don't have to like or agree with how other people vote.

    There was no insurrection. Try again
    Huffpo lies.
    Basically a lie since.
    Rather than the corrupt, lying at China-owed current resident of the White House and his drug addict sone?

    Let’s not forget the democrat leaders who let the cities they were SWORN to protect BURN, while holding not ONE of these out-of-control lunatics accountable.

    Oh that’s right, I keep forgetting that you folks are so deadlocked on tRump being your worst enemy.

    It’s completely comical if you just apply some common sense:

    tRump as president = a stronger country and a lower cost of living, IN REALITY!!

    biden as president = well, what we have today: a weaker country with much, much higher cost of living.

    Go ahead and TRY to make me explain my post, but you and I and everyone reading this knows by now the electing an old career politician that has no issue with selling out the people he was SWORN to protect didn’t work out the way you thought it would.

    Only due to his position in government through the years, and the dual justice system. At least as prez, his handlers keep him away from children. One can only speculate why he is so pliable in all things CCP.

    I don't get this line of argument.

    It seems like you're trying to excuse lesser convictions when selecting people to trust with out government.

    Why would one do that?

    That wasn't a protest.

    There is no question that the objective was to stop our democracy through violent means, leaving Trump as president.

    As a sidelight, those who entered stated the objective of assassinating our VP, who was present.

    I like your last sentence, but are you seriously suggesting that the insurrection that was attended by Republican office holders and defended by congressional Republicans shows the opinion you express concerning democracy???

    As for danger, the FBI points to the white supremacist groups who they point to as the terrorist threat in America. Do YOU promote ending that scourge?

    The moves on democracy by Republicans this century have been aimed at defeating democracy.

    Most recently, we have seen law changes oriented to allowing the votes of the people to be discarded at the direction of state officials. We've seen rampant gerrymandering oriented to augmenting Republican representation rather than the representation of the population as a whole. We've seen the recent law passing the Texas legislature that is oriented directly at the minority population in Houston. We see the laws against vote by mail, which specifically excludes those who can't stand in line for hours. We see the laws against even offering water to those standing in line for unconscionable periods - lines that are cause by selectively distributing voting resources to polling places, thus denying access to democracy. We see closing and shifting voting sites in areas where Republicans don't want people to be represented. We have seen shortening hours and days of voting, which rests most heavily on low income workers who have less transportation, who sometimes have to choose between being paid and voting. We see Republicans campaigning against vote by mail systems that have proven to be secure in a growing number of states, making access possible for an increasing number of voters, especially for those with low mobility and hourly wage earners. We see the Fox campaign against the validity of results - even when they KNOW FOR CERTAIN that it is a lie.

    If Republicans believed in democracy we would see a VERY different reaction to losing elections - a reaction that doesn't focus on undermining democracy.

    Democracy is two wolves and a sheep deciding which one's going to have the sheep for dinner. One can argue the country has way too much democracy, and it's become something of a spectator sport.

    As opposed to democrats whom attempt to use the treasury and pet programs to buy votes, used Covid to institute and make changes known to make elections less secure, oppose any type of voter registration, oppose board security to prime the next group of democrats?

    If you think Republicans gerrymandering, please see illinois.

    Your clearly getting your information from one side and aren't interested in seeing both viewpoints.

    Well, there are those who see it as no more than a spectator sport.

    However, they are also the ones who are interested in autocracy.

    I think a one-party state rule is better for a functioning country. No more fissures in society that can ripple into riots, or acts of political violence. Issues can be addressed relatively smoothly and quickly. Honestly, the superiority of an autocratic/imperial civil life as opposed to democratic life, is beyond question. Even those democratic entries in attacking autocracies, admit as much.

    The issue lies within military overreach, and if the regime respects civil rights. If those two things are maintained, there's not a single advantage to the democratic system.

    This is a collection of right wing nonsense claims. Your "pet programs" meme is especially silly, as our entire government is so monumentally twisted by the influence of the wealthy.

    What we're seeing in active improvement of voter suppression is almost exclusively Republican, as regular assaults from the Republican SC on down are implementing methods of excluding minority and Democratic party voices.

    If you had an argument, you would state it.

    All you've got is innuendo and total BS.

    I know there are those like you who think autocracy is a pathway to peace!

    But, that is counter to evidence throughout the western advancement in government.

    And, today we are seeing Republicans working HARD against civil rights.

    Suggesting that minorities are a "nuisance" is exactly what happens in an autocracy.

    There is NO morality of any kind in an autocracy.

    The principles of our founders, of our constitution are ALL total BS by those who advocate autocracy, thus providing NO basis for review of policy decisions, no dispassionate court, no concern for the welfare of citizens, etc.

    If you think differently, then find an autocracy you like and promote it here.

    Autocracies aren't that rare in this world, so you should have no problem.

    Who said anything about minorities?(it's also telling that Liberals only view civil liberties in the view of minorities.). Which in of itself has led to the weakness of American democracy, as one major party doesn't give a **** about civil liberties, so long as it's minority civil liberties.(Democrats). The conservatives don't need to do anything, since their very nature of conservatism means everything is in tact.

    There's weakness in that approach as well. But the conservative approach gives every American what they want. The Democrat, pays it lip service at best. Fake words only to win an election. Democrats are snake oil salesmen who don't disguise for a second, that they're snake oil salesmen.

    The current state of america is Biden's resume. And the current state of the United States sucks.

    As for his being a pedo? Absolutely. Video evidence along with the victims admissions states as such.

    You're simply promoting the white nationalist mantra of exclusion. And, that has NOTHING to do with civil rights.

    This is a purely childish view.

    The idea that Biden success would be measured by whether he could turn America around after all previous presidents, the Republican SC, our legislature, and the actions of our states is about as stupid an idea as could possibly be imagined.

    Republicans have tried and tried and tried to charge Biden with something. And, they have ALWAYS failed.

    I'll continue to point out to everybody that no where have I excluded anyone. In fact, in point of reference it's this poster here who brought up minorities, when minorities were not a part of the discussion.

    Since you continue to try, grapple and fail at understanding anything I write, I'll make it as easy as humanly possible for you to understand. The reason the Liberal view on minority politics is a complete clusterfuck(that also screws over the minorities) is that it is YOU practicing the policy of exclusion, by promoting a they vs them mentality.

    We can argue this mentality has existed since the very early ages of Democratic Politics. One look at a Roosevelt Campaign Ad, and a campaign ad of Joe Biden will find not a minute of difference, in OVER 75 YEARS.

    So either their policies are so damn bad that over nearly a century they've failed inclusion, or THAT the policies themselves aren't naturally inclusive in nature(or perhaps both)

    On the other hand, a true civil rights policy, far superior to Liberals fake snake oil is one that is naturally inclusive as One WHOLE America. We won't tell people lies that people are 'looking to lock them up in chains'. Rather, we will promote opportunities for growth in every market conceivable. We will promote the development of the inner cities, as the same as the major cities.

    By promoting the social and civil good, we will undermine Roosevelt's party, and we will end the reign of tyranny it has on us.
