How utterly FALSE. And I didn't vote for Biden to know that. Of course, for all I know, there is also no doubt in your mind, whatsoever, that Trump was, by far, the best president since Abraham Lincoln. So, did I read you at least 100% RIGHT?

Yet, most conservatives on here think high tech capitalism is highly evil from Twitter and FB kicking off Trump. Conservatives are also mad those companies have been kicking off anti covid vaccine posters.

Let's be honest, shall we? It's more like....

My pretty White dress has gotten too Brown over the years. Some like the natural patina but some want to dip it deep in bleach, even if it weakens the fabric.

This is why I will be voting Democrat down the line in Georgia next year. I would respect the far right more if they would just be honest. I guess that would mean admitting some things they know are reprehensible. Denying the obvious devalues any legitimate concerns moderates such as myself would understand. I guess it's easier to look oneself in the mirror, even at the expense of self awareness.

I have a feeling any woman looking to get away from an abusive husband would have to go up against "traditional American values" of the Red state country.

What does traditional American values mean?
"Traditional American values" means "white men rule."

It's what this is all about.

if you doubt the above, take a quick scan of the couple hundred faces that the FBI are looking for over the violence at the Capitol last Jan. 6.

How many people of color to you see?

How many women?

We’re already there.

People are getting fired for not taking a vaccine that doesn’t even work after 9 months, for a common cold virus 2.0

Democracy is based on the leaders being elected by the majority. Consent of the governed and all.

However, due to the Electoral College we have had two recent Presidents installed who did not receive the majority of votes. Both administrations were disasters, leaving our nation in far worse shape than when they started.

In the Senate, millions more voted for the Democrats than the Republicans, yet look how Republicans have been able to block voting legislation, funding for programs that are desperately needed, ...

Meanwhile, Republican legislators are busy passing laws to make it more difficult for some to vote, and easier for Republicans to overturn election results.

Democracy is under attack all across the nation.

If they win, this experiment in self-government is over.

2030 is not that far away.

Yes, he was.

Despite all the lawsuits and lies, there has been absolutely no credible evidence presented that Biden was not elected.

The whole "rigged election" fell apart in court, with even the defendants' filings stating that no reasonable person would believe the accusations.

There have been isolated cases of people double voting. Appears to be mainly Republicans. But in any case, not nearly in sufficient numbers to change the outcome.


Biden won fair and square.

Just because you don't believe it doesn't change the situation.
