-TSS- Posted November 7, 2020 Report Share Posted November 7, 2020 A two party-system combined with identity politics isn't a very good combination. In many Democrat-controlled areas where government is absolutely dismal they still won't vote for the other party because you just don't do that in identity politics. Having said that, haven't almost all the short-lived third party-projects been about parties being ones thinking the Republicans are too soft and not enough right wing?

Oh ok so just for the record your position is: any shootings, bombings, massacres, acts of terrorism that occur are “situation normal, nothing to see here’” Is that right?

I don't see that happening this time around. You can't get much further to the right than this bunch and have a chance to get elected. Maybe the Qanon party will form and Trump will lead it. That ought to be good for a laugh.

Argus Posted November 8, 2020 Report Share Posted November 8, 2020 (edited) The New York Post has been a full throated Trump organ for the last five years. Today, in a fawning editorial, it praises Trump for his 'legacy', then tells him to shut up about a 'stolen election'. The math is looking near-impossible for President Trump to win re-election. But he should take pride in what he’s done for the nation and the world these last four years. It’s a legacy he could easily run on in 2024 — if he quits the conspiracy-addled talk of a “stolen” election. ... But the president’s aides have shown no evidence that the election was “stolen.” Where Trump won several key states by razor-thin margins to take the White House in 2016, Biden seems to have done the same this year. It undermines faith in democracy, and faith in the nation, to push baseless conspiracies. Get Rudy Giuliani off TV. Ask for the recounts you are entitled to, wish Biden well, and look to the future. If Trump persists in wild talk to the contrary, he’ll lead his people into irrelevance and marginalize his own voice. His years in the White House have transformed the nation, but refusing to let go now will make it easier for his enemies to undo it all. https://nypost.com/2020/11/07/president-trump-your-legacy-is-secure-stop-the-stolen-election-rhetoric/ Edited November 8, 2020 by Argus Quote "A liberal is someone who claims to be open to all points of view — and then is surprised and offended to find there are other points of view.” William F Buckley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if some states declared civil war tomorrow and started marching troops on DC you’d be like “we’ve had civil war before, this is totally normal”?

BeaverFever Posted November 8, 2020 Report Share Posted November 8, 2020 Arkansas police chief resigns after calling for violence against Democrats An Arkansas police chief who posted calls for violence against Democrats on social media resigned from his job on Saturday. Lang Holland, who was police chief of the roughly 1,300-person city of Marshall, Arkansas, drew outrage from both local residents and people around the country after making ominous comments online in recent days. In addition to repeatedly saying Democrats should be killed, he shared memes from conspiracy theory QAnon and claimed that the election was being stolen. "Death to all Marxist Democrats," Holland posted on Parler, a new social media site popular with conservatives and used as an alternative to Twitter. "Take no prisoners leave no survivors!!" One image he shared depicted a group of Democrats, including Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, wearing prison jumpsuits. Under the image he wrote: "I pray all those in that picture hang on the gallows and are drawn and quartered!!!! Anything less is not acceptable." CNN could not reach Holland for comment. His Parler account was made private on Saturday. Marshall Mayor Kevin Elliott issued a statement Saturday stating Holland had resigned from his position, effective immediately. https://www.cnn.com/2020/11/08/us/arkansas-police-chief-violence-parler-invs/index.htmlAnd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kactus Posted November 8, 2020 Report Share Posted November 8, 2020 Trump is just buying time between now to January to cover his ass and FBI enquiries into his dodgy dealings. The court proceedings takes time to keep him immune against these allegations. This whole “election fraud” thing is just a disguise for the sheeps who are still thinking that he won the the election.
