dumb shit a trumpublican said today

LOL @ cooperating.

[japhy]

Right, but both sides do it.

The only person Trump can possibly beat is Biden. If Dems nominate literally anyone other than Biden they will win easily. They may win easily again even if it's Biden.

But much like we are witnessing the death of the old Republican party, I think the death of the old Dem party is coming within the next 8-12 years. Hopefully then we can start seeing some common sense progress on things the vast majority of us agree need work (gun reform, tax reform, healthcare reform, environmental protection).

If only the Democrats had passed laws that cover every single one of those topics in the last 2 weeks...

Your desire to Bothsiderism everything has led you to claiming that you think the Democratic Party as it exists today will die in the next 8-12 years and that if that happens that we might finally see some progress on legislation that has literally all happened successfully within the last 2 weeks without the party being blown apart. Do you not see how ridiculous that is?

I am fairly confident that our democracy will fall apart early December

Along with the popping of the housing bubble and the public release of Trump's taxes...

You seriously think that every election that a Republican loses isn’t going to be met with armed protest?

Yup. I do.

The minorities and more fiscally conservative dems (hispanics in particular) are not going to keep marching in lock step with people like Biden and Pelosi much longer. They are getting fed up with the lip service during elections and then being disappointed with the continuous let down.

That's just what I think. Poll numbers suggest extreme dissatisfaction in those segments of voters with the current Dem leadership.

[MICHHAWK]

it catches up with ya.

you can promise one segment everything. and deliver on nothing. only for so long. it catches up with ya.

[MICHHAWK]

they will promise everything and anything. just to get that vote.

When can we expect that check from Mexico to pay for the wall? Never mind what did get done is falling down.

Biden has actually built more wall since being in office surprisingly iirc.

Not really my problem

No, I don't expect that to be the norm over time. At some point, the majority of loons dumb enough to attempt such stupidity will all be in prison and the near-loons on the fence about whether to participate in an attempted insurrection will have a desire to not get arrested or lose their job.

Yeah, clearly I was over reacting:

surprised this sort of thing wasn’t more widespread given the rhetoric from so many on the right

[ousdahl]

the freaky thing about far right violence is, if and when it happens, how much can law enforcement be counted on to stop it, considering how many far righties also turn out to be cops?
