“Hence it is that democracies have been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths." ~ James Madison, Federalist Papers
The solution to problems with democracy is more democracy not less.
Politics is the systems we have developed to allow us to make collective discissions without resorting to violence. Chaos is a feature of the system, not a bug, especially at times of high levels of partisanship.
“When a Republican finishes in the top two in any election, the Republican is declared the winner.” Reality c. Luckovich, decided by 6-3 on Supreme Court
Great idea leftists! Instead of trying to prosecute your opponent into oblivion and even try remove his name from some state ballots, why not try to beat him the old fashioned way at the ballot box? Sure, your horse has a stutter and a cold, but he’s sharp as a tack!
I’ve voted R and I’ve voted D. I’m a self declared Independent voter who seeks justice and peace.
In these days, I’m voting D all the way because the R’s have lost the plot. Donald Trump is a weak person and a weaker POTUS, always unstable and controllable by forces that are much more malevolent than he.
If you love DEMOCRACY, in 2024 you will REGISTER, you will EDUCATE, you will VOTE, as if your life and your country depend upon it.
The Heritage Foundation, greedy billionaires, and corporations who want to continue to siphon obscene profits from the rest of us, are fighting “tooth and nail” to prevent a second Biden term because Biden has been SUCCESSFUL, not incompetent.
Instead of falling for Trump’s ploys, we should stop fighting against President Biden and fight against the true enemies of the American people – Donald Trump and the rest of his corrupt collaborators trying to gaslight us (like SCOTUS).
Given the power of money and it’s control of the two parties, the choice we are given creates the illusion of some of democratic process. Look at the panic displayed by the Democrats after the debate. An overt angst-fest over the potential loss of revenue from big money donors!!! Right before our eyes!
The Supreme Court has removed all protections the Law provides for our government. The guard rails are gone. WE, the People must save this Great Nation ourselves. As it should be.
Do some diligent homework — not just social media — to make sure who you vote for puts our Constitutional quasi-democratic republic ahead of any party or personal needs.
Vote while you still have a vote. Vote like you want to keep your vote. The Right will try to suppress it. They will try to make you stay home. You have got to vote.
SCOTUS hand-downs these past 2 weeks have shaken my belief that voting blue can still stave off the repub’s counter-offensive against the New Deal, the Fair Deal and the Great Society. No matter how the votes are counted, the Right, the B-I class will be calling all the shots. The Proud Boys are awaiting the call, if needed. Violence will be encouraged by trump. Putin, Jong, Xi and the Irani Mullahs will watch gleefully as our country bursts at it’s worn seams. Ukraine will be occupied, Baltic States and Finland threatened, and no country will be able to stem the Russian tide. Tell me, donald trump; What did you and Putin discuss in that closed-door session you had several years ago?

You can fill that box with “blue” but it won’t matter. The “fix” is with the electoral college thing that will give trump the presidency.
