Why are democrats saying that if Republicans win in November it’s a threat to democracy?

[Stoner710]

Distance to me that only Democrats did it if Democrats don’t win they say it’s a threat to democracy. Why?

[Soteris]

... I mean... Its the party that recently tried to literally overthrow democracy during January 6. Its also the party that has spent generations trying to undermine legal voting through things like gerrymandering, suppressing voters, removing voting rights, removing polling stations etc.. USA is also a really shitty democracy because of your voting system and electoral collage which Republicans love because it means that the democratic majority does not win elections.

So yeah.. Republicans is a not only a threat to democracy, they are literally the enemy.

[Stoner710]

Well that’s dangerous as hell for the continuation of the United States and frankly democracy around the world. America didn’t invent democracy but we’re the first ones that made it work and brought it to Europe Asia and Africa. Now your in Sweden from what your profile says, Republicans are very likely to win a majority in the house and senate (my fingers cross a super majority). But if you as a Swedish guy what do you think happens when the republicans take back the house and senate in November? Are we talking a actual civil war in the United States? A national divorce? Or acceptance of republicans taking over? We’re about to see a red wave in the United States matching the tsunami that hit close to the end of 2004 red wave in the United States level red wave.

What does that mean for democracy around the world? Are they going to fall as well? Are we talking a global end of democracy? What comes next?

[Soteris]

Well that is a funny way of "making it work". Let me remind you, when USA was founded your democracy only extended to white male land owners. Women? Did not own land? Were not white? Well sucks to be you. USA is not as revolutionary as you think and Democracy was making its rounds around Europe at the same time and arguably more successfully.

As for Republicans winning in the next election? Well its not like I did not predict that Biden would be electorally weak before he became president but the Republicans are also historically weak due to Trump and current circumstances so honestly it depends on what happens during the election. It is quite likely that Trump just rips the Republican party into shreds before the votes are even counted. Would be fun to see and I have my popcorn ready.

Either way, I dont see a civil war. While the democratic side has shown itself capable of large scale civil organization, the Republicans are just fucking pathetic in this regard and they would be the group actually interested in starting one. Unless someone actually steps up and takes charge of the rebellion its not happening.

As for USA having influence on Democracies around the world? Oh please, USA has been leaking corruption to other democracies for decades now. USA collapsing would just mean we are no longer held back and can finally progress forward at our own pace.

[Stoner710]

Trump is a week point in the Republican Party a lot of republicans can’t seem to move on almost like they want revenge for 2020 but I don’t se them starting a civil war. I could see democrats right burn down my emerald city again when republicans win. Same with L. A New York DC etc. but democratic have a way way way bigger problem on there hand and that Joe Biden. When 75% of your own party doesn’t want you to run again your in trouble. He has a lower approval rating then trump. Biden is the reason why there is war in Ukraine right now. (Frankly I think every single human rights violation done by the Russians he should be prosecuted for in The Hague) gas prices are at a all time high. He posted everyone off by going to Saudi Arabia. Republicans say we can drill for oil here democrats says MBS is a murder (fair enough but so it’s every single leader in the middle of east). He’s had a 29% to 31% approval rating which is way lower than Trump Democrats have serious issues right now they don’t even have a viable candidate to run in 2024 is why they are trying out Gavin Newsom around the country he is probably the worst governor in America I have to deal with Jay Ensley he’s probably worse. But democratic are in serious trouble honestly I hope they split apart

[Soteris]

Well if we look at history then the Democrats have gracefully handed off power where as Republicans have tried to overthrow the country on January 6th. I digress however. While Biden is a horrible presidential candidate I at least think he will do well against Trump specifically. Trump really has too much baggage to win another presidential election at this point and that is if Biden even runs for a 2nd term in the first place which would be retarded if you ask me.

But I am pretty sure it won't really matter that much. Trump is going to sabotage any other candidate and Republican politician who does not outright support him becoming president again. He has done so before, he will do so again. Especially now when he sees being president as his best chance at escaping legal prosecution which I still think is a fucking stupid precedent to set in a democracy but whatever, not my country.

[Soteris]

Biden, for whatever his faults are, is not responsible for the war in Ukraine however. This was going to happen regardless and I have posted extensive commentary on the early stages of the war on this site. Russia does not have a choice, they need to take over Ukraine, its just that simple. No amount of US presidents will change this.

Regarding gas prices, its unavoidable since its a global shortage and oil sells through international prices. Or I would say that if both the military and environmental activists has not been screaming that fossil fuels are not a safe future investment and that you should have switched at least partially over to electric (or something else). A country that is looking into the future and trying to prevent exactly things like this would have started the switch long before I was born. You did not, this was inevitable.

Drilling for oil in USA is pointless if the free market dictates there is more profits to be made by selling it elsewhere. All you will have is more leaky pipelines within your borders rather than it being someone others problem.

And while yes, the Democrats does have their fair share of drama I would argue that nothing is as bad as Trump posing an existential crisis for the Republicans.

[Stoner710]

Trump is going to be interesting to see, I personally don’t think he should run In 2024 but he most likely will. My first 2 preferred republicans are Ron DeSantis and Nikki Hailey if it came to the general I would support trump but that not for another couple yes so I’m not going to make any predictions yet. If Biden continues he utter failure you could see trump win the presidency again if not the popular vote then defiantly the electoral college.

As far as Jan 6th goes there is some evidence (which they of course don’t bring up in the hearings) that they were agent provocateur‘s from the FBI the encouraged the riots. Democrats are playing a dangerous game however republicans are like the dog that the owner beats over and over the dog might be passive for a while but eventually it’s going to bite if democrats what to convict trump of causing Jan 6th republicans will turn around and Prosecutor members of the Democrat party that we’re encouraging the riots in 2020. So so so many democrats will be in prison it will make your head spin. This is how Republicans are feeling at this point if Trump was guilty of inciting the riot on January 6 then Bernie Sanders is guilty of nearly getting Steve Scalise almost killed and other congressional Republicans back in 2017. Remember when democrats killed the judicial filterbuster and so we were able to get our three conservative justice is in. Similar things will happen. Revenge is a dish best served cold.

[Stoner710]

As far as gas prices no it wasn’t inevitable the United States has enough gas to power the world for the next 200 years it just needs to be extracted we have more oil under the surface of the United States then in Saudi Arabia Venezuela Russia and Africa combined. that electricity has to come from some where right now it’s coming form fossil fuels Germany has restarted its coal plants in order to produce the electricity electricity isn’t green unless you use green energy to get it and you’re not going to get enough green energy to run a modern economy with solar panels and windmills everyone knows this. Also go to places in Africa or Asia there trying to get there economy out of the third world. The biggest green house gas Admitters are China in India good luck getting them to switch over within the next 10 year it would take more like 50-100 years meaning of Jesus brings more and more suffering instead of actual solution to the problem least wind and solar. Hydro is good

[Soteris]

Ahaha! Just heard that the RNC threatens Trump to not announce his candidacy for president before the midterms or they would stop paying for his legal costs. Both insane to think they are paying to keep Trump out of jail and also that they have to threaten him to not sabotage their midterm chances with his own ambition and desire to escape prosecution.

But I digress..

I dont hold much hope for the Republicans in all honesty. Sure, the party that loses the presidency is almost always going to do really well in the midterms as is demonstrated throughout American history. The problem is that the Republicans keep being bombarded with bad news. Most recently the revocation of Roe has massively soured the peoples opinion on the Republican party and given them a reason to vote Democratic.

This is basically a worst case scenario for the Republicans. Not only are they struggling with the fact that all their policies (if you can call them that) is wildly unpopular but their best chance has been that Democrats lack a purpose to turn out and vote. Now they have given them that on a silver platter and perhaps counteracted the whole phenomena that should have given the Republicans a benefit going into the midterms.

Its also worthless to talk about Republicans seeking "revenge" as if they held back previously due to some sort of honor or status quo. Republicans are shameless, they do anything they can get away with even if its illegal. If they could abuse something, they would have with or without "provocations" from the Democrats.

[Soteris]

As for your dreams about drilling for oil, its just a fact that they would not. Not only do they have plenty of oil claims that they are not exploiting today but having large reserves does not mean you can pump them out in an afternoon. Giving them more claims that they will just sit on and not do anything with will not change the price of oil.

As for green energy, its not only possible but also inevitable. It has far better economic potential than fossil fuels does and its just a case of building up the infrastructure around it. That takes time and money, one of which Germany does not have right now when they just lost their access to Russian gas which was their stop gap measure until they could transition to renewable. One way or another, fossil fuels just can't compete so its a moot point.

Also again, its not just me and every environmentalist saying the dependence on fossil fuels is a threat to USA, its the US military who is in charge of threat assessments.

[Stoner710]

The oil companies can’t exploit it because of Biden’s regulations he won’t let them start drilling.

You can switch to nuclear as far as green energy goes and natural gas but you can’t run in modern economy off of solar and wind. Some places you can’t use solar and wind. There a joke and the worst type of energy.

As fair as trump ruining the midterms Americans aren’t going to be voting democratic into office they will have 5 states that will still be blue California New York Washington Oregon and Vermont. Everyone in the country hates Biden. Frankly if it was a race between trump and Biden the 3rd party candidate would win trump is a little bit more popular then Biden but not that much more popular. Why do you think you have the New York Times and Washington post are telling Biden not to run in 2024 Biden’s approval rating is in the toilet he’s forced us into a Recession he is directly responsible for Afghanistan women getting raped and never allowed out of the base ment again he gave the green light for Putin to invade Ukraine, (I don't know how you can interpret him saying if there is a minor encourgen nato wouldn’t do anything). If anything he is more responsible for Russia’s human rights violations then Putin himself. Biden is going to loose the democrats are going to loose they have nobody popular in there party the democrats party is on the brink of collapse. We’re about to have a red wave so huge it makes that tsunami that hit Indonesia in 04 look like a normal low wave. If we are lucky as a nation democrats won’t exist as a party anymore

[Soteris]

There are plenty of claims that they can exploit if they wanted to. They do not. Just like how OPEC decided to cut down production they rather sell less oil for more money than increase their own operational costs.

As for running modern economies on green energy? There are some that already are. Its not THAT difficult.

Regarding Bidens low popularity? Sure its low, but again. Its not like people voted for Biden because they liked Biden in the first place. He was never important, people just hated Trump and what the Republicans stood for. That is still true in 2022 and 2024 thanks to stuff like revoking Roe.

Its also not going to go very well trying to tell me why Russia invaded Ukraine when I got practically half an essay on the subject posted on here. USA has nothing to do with it. In fact, they could not have anything to do with it. Trying to invite Ukraine to NATO would trigger an automatic invasion. Putin would not allow Ukraine to form any military alliances since he intended to invade them all along. Its something USA could not stop unless you want to have USA step in after Russia invades and start a nuclear war which literally no one wants. In this case Russia always gets to act first and if they commit to a war then USA can't join in afterwards without triggering nukes. Not sure how much more clear i could make this for you.

Biden also does not have anything to do with a literal world wide recession.

[Stoner710]

Biden created the world wide recession he is the President of the United States the most powerful country on the face of the earth we need to get supply chains going we cannot rely on the federal government to do that frankly the worldwide recession is all Joe Biden‘s fault.

Send me a link to the essay. But your not going to convince me that Russia invading Ukraine isn’t joe Biden’s fault. If trump was president now and Ukrainian got invited into nato Putin wouldn’t have done anything. Why because Putin was scared of trump Putin doesn’t want a nuclear war, he figured trump was just crazy enough that if he invaded Ukraine trump would have nuked Moscow. Ukraine could’ve joined NATO under Trump and it wouldn’t have triggered anything Putin knows by now is a coward he knows Democrats are cowards because they did nothing when he attacked Crimea back in 2014 Biden.

As far as green energy goes and green farming practices and I kind of stuff free longer just committed suicide because of those practices. Germany tired and failed to get there green Energy going while still relying on some oil and gas from Russia and is completely failed. You have rolling blackouts in California and Texas because green energy completely bailed. Wind and solar are complete jokes all other energy is laughing a Solar and wind. In the Netherlands they’re having massive protest because of the green farming practices because they’re unable to get the crops they need to grow without petroleum based fertilizer. Humans aren’t green as a species.

[Stoner710]

As far as Roe v. Wade is concerned nobody is going to car in 2024 roe v wade was a bad case there is nothing defending abortion in the constitution. Supreme Court jet says are supposed to look at the competitution and interpret the Constitution what the constitution meant at the time it was written amendment was passed in 1789 you have to interpret what that meant it meant in 1789 The 14th amendment which is the amendment democrats like to use in order to protect abortion says nothing about abortion. I like how we pretend 10th amendment doesn’t exist “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people”. That means doesn’t matter how much you agree that abortion should be legal the federal government can’t legalize abortion throughout the land just like the federal government can’t make abortion illegal throughout the land it’s impossible for the federal government to do that under the constitution. That was the whole point of Clarence Thomases comments after the Dobbs decision was made. Even goes as far to point out that even gay marriage and contraception isn’t protected by The Constitution which means if Texas wants to get rid of birth control they can do that and that is protected by the constitute. But as far as abortion being a main issue in 2022 or 2024 not really it’s the economy that’s going to be The main issue and since Democrats have wrecked the economy they’re going to get their asses handed to them on a SilverPlatter

[Soteris]

Yes, he is the president of USA.. not the king. His powers are very limited and mostly revolves around diplomacy, PR and military. It has very little to do with the economy.

While the mytake is not really focused entirely on the key events leading up to the war it still touches on the major ones:
Russian Invasion; The hows and the whys. ↗

Its also worth pointing out that the Russian-Ukraine conflict started long before Biden and there was plenty of very serious incidents that Trump just outright ignored such as the Kerch Strait incident. Given his track-record on not addressing Russian aggression in Ukraine I have no guarantees he would even care about the war.

Its also worth noting that you need to be voted into NATO which gives Putin plenty of time to launch his invasion before they can join and prevent them from joining NATO since that would trigger a nuclear war and no country in NATO would vote yes if it came to that.

As for Green Energy, it was actually the fossil fuel and terrible state regulation that caused the blackouts in Texas and Germany is aiming to become greenhouse neutral by 2045 which means that they are definitely not ready now and that this has nothing to do with green energy failing. If anything, its fossil fuel failing since its a lack of gas and highlights why its a bad idea to rely on it.

Its also worth noting that wind and solar energy is growing much faster than fossil fuel. The capitalists knows this is the future and they are investing hard into it. Anyone who is laughing is a fucking idiot that dont understand economics.

[Soteris]

As for Roe? People are going to care. Besides, this is just the start. They already have plenty of other cases lined up on the chopping board including things like gay marriage, Miranda rights etc.. It will be a major point in the next few elections until it becomes reinstated.

Regarding what is or is not in the Constitution, its a moot point what it does or does not contain regarding rights since it also contains the 9th amendment:
"The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."

In other words, a right does not need to be explicit listed in the constitution to be a right and protected.

[Stoner710]

A right doesn’t have to be Exclusively written in the constitution for it to be recognized by the states by the federal government has to be exclusively written in the constitution. Hence the tenth. So California Washington New York Oragon Wisconsin New Hampshire Connecticut etc could say abortion in welcome here Texas Alabama Florida Idaho Montana Louisiana Arkansas They can outlaw abortion in their states. The federal government can’t do anything about it they are suppose to be completely powerless. The same thing goes for gay marriage contraception etc the feds aren’t allowed to have a say period end of story. The idea was for gridlock in the federal government but no gridlock on the state level. At least this is the originalist interpretation of the constitution.

I don’t think gay marriage should be illegal I don’t think contraception should be illegal I also think the federal government lips are suppose to be stapled shut on these issues. Think of the EU the EU doesn’t get to tell Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Republic of Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden. What laws to make in there own country just like the federal government doesn’t get to tell states the laws they make in there states. If that was the case the federal government should be going after Washington California Oregon and Colorado and other states that have legal marijuana

[Soteris]

Not only is the 9th amendment before the 10th but it literally contradicts your claim that it needs to be explicitly stated. The whole 9th amendment is about how things DONT need to be explicitly written into the constitution to be a federally protected right. Same for contraceptives and marriage rights.

As for the EU, it is not a federation. It is a diplomatic agreement between sovereign states. Basically a beefed up trade and immigration agreement rather than a governing body. It obviously can't dictate how the countries within the EU run their countries since those countries are sovereign and independent countries.

[Stoner710]

The 9th amendment states that there are other right that aren’t considered in the constitution. The tenth amendment states means those rights get put to the states as an option for them to vote on not the federal government. There suppose to be weaker then a man with glass for bones having a bolder thrown at them. We’re suppose to be more like the EU not a centralized government

[Soteris]

Again you are wrong. Those rights are intended to be protected by the federally ratified constitution on a federal level rather than a state level. I can even tell you why, because people like you will always try to misuse the constitution to remove peoples rights by arguing that "its not written into the constitution" which includes them trying to "creatively misinterpret" what it says.

Either way, the 9th amendment is intended to broadly defend your rights on a federal level specifically against things like revoking Roe for stupid reasons.

[Stoner710]

You’re the one who is wrong in the situation, The founder would never had agreed that abortion is a right. If anything if they knew those amendments would have been interpreted that way they would have constitutionally band abortion from the start of the country. You cannot take words that were written in 1789 and magically turn them into well this is what we want it to mean in 1973 of 2022. This is why you have to interpret the constitution as it was written during the time it was written. An amendment that was written in 1866 means and applies to the rule of law what it meant in 1866.

[Soteris]

It literally does not matter what the founding fathers would have supported. The 9th amendment was written not for them but for what WE would consider important and that was the purpose behind it all along.

If you have already forgotten, the founding fathers did not want the country to be limited by what THEY had implemented and encouraged future generations to rewrite literally everything and change it as often as possible. Asking what the founding fathers would have wanted is literally not what the founding fathers would have wanted.

The whole purpose of the 9th amendment is to be interpreted TODAY and not how it was interpreted yesterday or a hundred years ago.

[Jay3344]

Manufactured consent. But also because Trump basically came close to a coup. He got a group to gather in DC…they went to the building to stop Biden from becoming President…. Trump let the go and let the police fend for themselves after declaring it a riot multiple times officially…I mean the evidence is all there for people to review. But democrats tend to call the country “our democracy” and republicans tend to say “our republic” it’s all just marketing, the technical wording I think according to the cia world Factbook was “the USA is a republic with strong democratic traditions.” Holds up since we have representatives but also general elections and stuff.

[Msputiton]

The same reason republicans constantly put ads out to vote republican to save America from "radical left"

Both parties find it easier to scare their voters into voting for them instead of coming up with solid running points.

Sadly both democrats and Republicans voters are easily going along with it, while politicians from both sides are just destroying what America stands for because they have successfully convinced their voters that the other party is evil.

So now the voters are so distracted by their hate of the other party they don't even care about all the dirty stuff their politicians are doing.

[Jessica405]

Republicans are not democratic. As seen from the outside.

[DryGermanGuy]

Trumpian Republicans, that is. The old GOP of Bush the elder, Reagan and Eisenhower is gone.

[Stoner710]

@DryGermanGuy good thing the bush Republican are dead there squishes we’re less of the party of trump but more of the tea party republicans we like trump because he’s a big middle finger to democratic.

How ever I keep hearing it from places like Northwest public broadcasting (which is Owned by NPR). Tyt cnn that if Republicans take back the house and senate it’s the end of democracy why are they the only ones saying that

[DryGermanGuy]

As mentioned some time ago, I can hardly decipher your babble, sorry. Did you finish high school?

[ArtemisSilver]

Because they're a reaching a cult like level of leftist extremism. Anything they disagree with is denounced as some great heretical evil to fixate on and make wild claims about.

[ArtemisSilver]

Just wait until they start actually murdering "oppressors" which ultimately just boils down to anyone refusing to bow to their groupthink.

[Sabretooth]

sounds like the right. the right's been calling for that for awhile... one I know wants Biden, his wife and Harris assassinated.

[ArtemisSilver]

Extremists of either side end up being very similar in conduct. The main difference is that the mass media, and corporate oligarchy are in support of the leftist 5th column as it fractures the population and prevents bipartisan cooperation.

[Stoner710]

That’s a part of the issue, the other part is our system isn’t set up for multiple parties. We’re not set up like European governments where you have to from coalitions with other parties and some get there way others will get there way so they all have to work together. We have 2 majorly established political parties in the United States that everyone votes for (or nearly everyone)

[Sabretooth]

then why do so many oligarchs support Putin? not sure many would consider him a liberal...

[ArtemisSilver]

Obviously there are different groups of them. Putin has his own circle, but they're small fry compared to who really runs the USA

[Sabretooth]

sounds far more Republican than Demarcate: bulletin.represent.us/.../

[ArtemisSilver]

@Sabretooth dude, your blue-red tribalism is stupid as fuck. Stop being a useful idiot and wake up.

[Sabretooth]

why don't you? I'm in neither party... I just accept things as they are. this tribalism means nothing to me. besides, you just handed me the victory.

[ArtemisSilver]

@Sabretooth Trust me dude, your ignorance is no victory of any kind, and you clearly have a pro-left bias. Keep on writing when you actually have something of substance to say.

[Sabretooth]

if you can't argue the substances and only insult... you've lost. continue to attack my all you wish... you're only showing that I have you on the defensive.

[Sabretooth]

''attack me''

[ArtemisSilver]

@Sabretooth Alright, I attack with my +1 rapier, what's your AC?

[Sabretooth]

the definition of oligarchs: a small group of people having control of a country, organization, or institution.
both sides sides are ruled by oligarchs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPUbsXBwSRw www.opensecrets.org/.../ both sides are corrupt but, if you look at both the Obama admiration and the Biden administration--both times republicans were the minority... yet were still obstructing everything with McConnell being very vocal and proud of that. as far as fractions go... how do you expect to people to unite with people like this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GsW4-2dfyA&t=101s my hatred of the republican party has increased. they've hated on and called for violence on trans people and people of color... now, it's personal.

[ArtemisSilver]

Yawn*

[Sabretooth]

call me the useful idiot if you wish... useful idiot who votes for a party that doesn't care if you live or die... that's the very definition of being a useful idiot.

[ArtemisSilver]

Neither party cares if you live or die Infact they'd probably both profit.

[Sabretooth]

by large, perhaps. though, I would argue that there a few decent dems who wanna help like AOC who raised millions for Texas during that winter storm. still, not many dems advocate for things like killing seniors, disabled people, letting people die for their own wallets, killing those who are different from them... seen plenty republicans do it, though.

[ArtemisSilver]

AOC is openly racist and has crossed the line into inciting violence multiple times.

[Sabretooth]

prove it.

[ArtemisSilver]

Another time perhaps I'm busy entertaining.

[Chazmatazz269]

That’s exactly what a fascist party WOULD say. I think the left is closer to leading us into fascism than is the right. Their both moving in that direction though, so we need more people to more strongly consider other parties, not as a possibility but as a necessary step in preserving our democracy. We can’t afford to take power from democripps or rebloodlicans unless we’re taking power from them both.

[Stoner710]

Unfortunately that’s not gonna happen he isn’t set up to handle a third-party a third or fourth party

[Avicenna]

This would be the same Democrats that screamed that the Supreme Court should be abolished and who want to abolish the Constitution. The same Democrats that violate the Constitution on a daily basis.

And how do you have democracy with the censorship the Democrats want to impose?

What the Democrats really mean by that is: "if the Republicans win in November, we MIGHT not be able to get away with as much corruption as we have been"

[NamerOfStars]

Bluntly, because at this point, falling back on "they're a threat to democracy/our way of life/our liberty" is the only thing they have left. It's just an updated version of "If you do X, the terrorists win!".

[BCA6010]

That's always their line. Anything that threatens their oligarchy is a threat to "our democracy."

Kind of like how Republicans used to selectively call things they didn't like as a "threat to freedom."

[Anonymous]

Because that’s politics, 2022 style.

If the Dems win, Republicans will claim the election was stolen.

[Stoner710]

Sounds like a great set up for Civil War. Is that what the parties in the United States want? I know we no longer agree on a definition or the definition of marriage anymore but it seems if we’re this divided why stay a country. I am a right winger but I think Sarah Silverman said it best, why stay to together have a country if we can agree on fundamental. I’ll link the video because she said it a lot better then I did and I can’t remember exact words but it’s basically Suggesting a national divorce twitter.com/.../1437236890885754880

[Anonymous]

It’s empty rhetoric.

American democracy has been dead for decades. The failure to recognise this is one of the reasons why Americans are, unfortunately, a global laughingstock.

[Anonymous]

I love how they call this country a democracy... IT'S NEVER BEEN A DEMOCRACY... it's always been a representative repilublic. So no the Republicans winning is not a threat to something thst simply does not exist in this country.

[Stoner710]

Very true, Remember when Senators were appointed by the state not voted in like we do now? Remember when only land owners could vote?

[Opinion Owner]

Yes exactly.. Now women get to vote without sacrifice and men have to sign up to die if they want to vote.. Women simply have no skin in the game.

[Stoner710]

Pretty much, The whole point of voting was because men would have to go and die in a war. This is why so many women were against the idea of voting because they knew it Meant they would have to sign up for the draft. Women other then being able to murder there preborn children they have no stake in our republic. The role of women is to be at home mothering there children. Not off getting careers and having sex with Radom guys

[Opinion Owner]

Agreed, here is the funny thing. Statistically, women who are more leftist, more feminist, have more mental disabilities, and are drastically less happy than women who are the opposite.

[Stoner710]

Figured that known for and they’ve gone through the uglyfication process as well

[888theGreat]

Projection, Democrats want to destroy it , so they say that Republicans want to

[Anonymous]

Libertarians should lead this country.
Democrats and Republicans can't be trusted.


But Democrats are liars and they know republicans will use common sense stuff against them.

Even if Republicans don't believe in it themselves

[Anonymous]

The fact you don't know the answer to this is truly disturbing.

[Anonymous]

Because fear mongering is always the democratic go to tactic.

[MrTaboo]

Because Noone wants to here them say it's a threat to their power. They'll loose more votes

[Stoner710]

Fair but there’s not what they’re saying bye declaring everything to be a threat to democracy that Republicans do

[OddBeMe]

Politics. But repubs do a lot to threaten democracy.

[Stoner710]

I don’t see how, I know trump lied about loosing the election. But trump isn’t on the ballot this year. It’s pretty bad when 75% of your own party doesn’t want you to run again which is the case for joe Biden.

So republicans will win the house and senate definitely Rafael Warnox is going to be out of power.

I’m not sure who else but hopefully patty murry we can get rid of that women in congress I doubt she will loose she will loose 36 out of 39 counties and still win

But if there a voting process shouldn’t democrats expect the results?

I will say when Republicans loose it’s “ because of voter fraud“ when democrats loose its “ because of voter suppression“. Non of which really takes place

[SmokinAces2000]
