The President's former chief strategist fantasizing about beheading Fauci and Chris Wray.

I think what it comes down to is I'm much more worried about a significant chunk of America becoming crazier and violent, and also fundamentals of our democracy withering, than I am a marginally higher tax rate, a public option on healthcare, or the president holding Transgender Pride day. To me, it's not even close, and I'll never understand people who believe otherwise.

Republicans have been hedging for about a month now as we came close to election.

Shapiro said "if he can't get elected against Joe that's not on us", Ted Cruz basically threw Trump under the bus every time he was interviewed, etc. etc.

You know, when you have 0 respect for people and constantly call them ignorant/racist/sexist/whatever - they will move further from you.

Anyone who doesn't like Trump, but falls into these broadening categories has good reason to vote for him.

Imagine in 4 years (hopefully Trump won't run or will be a felon by that point) some republican thats moderately populist is running for president and you haven't changed your tune at all.

Food for thought.

the potential conundrum per the new republic (major lefties and biden supporters) : “what do lefties do with all these trump supporters?”

interesting tidbit is their solution is a mix between condemning them as “the confederacy”, marking people with numbered tattoos, and the final part of the solution is some sort of free one-way train trips.

this includes tens of millions of women and minorities that are trump supporters. somehow we are to believe will be all unifed if the new republic gets their way

legit question, is it better to just ignore when people are ignorant, racist, sexist, whatever then? i don't think there's really a happy middle ground where you can graciously convince someone that they need to stop being these things.

You weren't here for Obama's term. A TON OF LIBERALS questioned him being a mainstream liberal.

This is just another one of those issues where your lack of experience following these things is really showing. If you had been here 2008-2016 you'd know how ridiculous most of what you just said is lol

and I'll just say it again, mainstream Democrat is not mainstream liberal. Democrats are not a liberal party. They are more liberal than Republicans, but still on average fall to the right of the American public.


So your argument is built on the notion that the entire political system of the U.S. is systematically out of whack with public sentiment...

What you're saying boils down to Biden, at the same time, sitting at the 33% quantile of a left-right scale for elected officials and at around the median of the "true" ideological coordinate system.

You don't. You also don't need to cast the net so widely that anyone who doesn't agree on a controversial topic falls into one.

Biden get Georgia and so 269 delegates
Good thing for your people is it progressively introduce Biden as new prez (in the head of trumpists)

/e with PA this is 306 delegates and not just 270, neat victory.
