If you’re talking about the protest when Bibi was in town, I thought people were arrested.
Oh, you may be right here for what he's talking about. I was too distracted by the ridiculous "coup" claim and thought he was talking about that.

But the right is also trying to compare the Bibi protests to the violent Jan 6 insurrection that had the express purpose of disrupting the counting of the electoral college and side goals of hanging Pence, Pelosi, and others.

I get ideologies for people are different, but it still amazes me. And the pack mentality is wild. The anger and fear is so fascinating to me. On both sides.

I believe we are getting into a progressively bad place, and the clear separation on every single issue is just mind blowing.

And what you saw in DC this week is more likely the new norm, yet I’ve yet to hear one Democrat demand arrests and convictions.

from an outsider perspective it must be entertaining as Hell.
Look, if you want an autocrat, just go ahead and say it. I wouldn’t care what party the politician belonged to, if he said he were going to “fix it” so I wouldn’t have to vote anymore, he/she would immediately lose my support.

It’s constant excuse making with Trumpers. So frustrating dealing with people who rationalize everything the man does.

BTW, the Jan 6 happenings were simultaneously:

1. done by Antifa

2. Done by The FBI

3. Done by Patriots who are now hostages and deserve pardons

4. not really that bad

There is no coherency or cogency in how they talk about it.

there was nothing ambiguous about what Trump said yesterday. We saw that in 2020 when he refused to concede the election and then rallied a bunch of morons to attack the capitol.

And yes the man is both an idiot and extremely dangerous.

He has a lot people behind him that are not dumb. They know how close he came to blundering his way clinging to power last time and will not repeat those mistakes. That's what he is saying.

When he says "you won't have to vote again" he absolutely means it. This isn't hyperbole or weird projection from the left, he's tried this already and failed.

You really do seem to enjoy it as entertainment.

We on the pro-constitutional republic side of things are neither impressed nor entertained. We are concerned.
Nope. You can’t have “republic”. Nope. It’s “democracy” you have. Nope. Foul!!! Can’t have it. I take it back in the name of all that is just and Holy. You can only use “democracy”. Or …. They will punish you. ;)

what is wrong with you

Constitutional Republic based on Democratic Principles

does that make your feelings less hurt?

We can call it a republic

or a democracy



no one is punishing anyone but we kind of want to keep our [whatever you want to call it from above] out of the hands of dangerous autocrats who don't believe in any of the above.

Joe was President
Joe wanted to run again
Joe was forced out.
Time will tell if it’s ridiculous or not.

I do think that a candidate who has never received a single delegate was selected in about as un-democratic way as possible is pretty hilarious.

I think there is still a lot to be played out.

we may end up with a whole new candidate in a few weeks.

Kaaaaaay




A republic is a form of democracy.

There is zero contradiction in using the terms interchangeably, though one is more specific in delineating the type of democracy.

I'm certain you have evidence for the last statement and that it will come to pass.

You have similar proof for Biden being forced out. By force. Violent force. Against his will.


The DNC has rules for choosing candidates. If you don't like their rules don't vote for them.

And if a candidate decides to step down they can't force him to run and must get a new candidate, following their own rules.

This whole argument claiming a subversion of democracy is ridiculous.

I’m just amazed that so many people who didn’t vote in the Democrat primary are upset that the party is handpicking the nominee.

There is no way to have a national vote at this point. I do think it would have been better if Biden had dropped out a year ago so we could have had an actual vote but it is what it is.

did he decide? That’s the sticking point now isn’t it?
