Re: State Should Not Determine Power of Vote
He like a lot of GQP supporters are at their core white supremacist. That he thinks Dems will always win a popular election and he thinks that is wrong shows clearly.

Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts

"God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

Re: The USA is a very Scary country
But you have not been able to express any rationale argument of a problem with Biden.

Re: The USA is a very Scary country
Conservative radio host Glen Beck has a book out called The Great Reset: Joe Biden and the Rise of Twenty-First-Century Fascism. So my question is why the confusion? One side claims that the far-right are fascists. The other side (Beck and others) claims that the Democrats are being ideologically swayed by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) and China.
One side uses evidence, not propaganda.

Yes we are a two party system and yes the GQP uses extensive propaganda.

Re: Is A Republic Popular?
For all intents and purposes. A republic is a type of democracy. There are direct and indirect democracies. A republic is an indirect democracy.
There are doctoral thesis written on the subject, but that is the core.

Re: Is A Republic Popular?
Because we now have a totally different electorate and our political system has changed extensively since the founding.

Re: Is A Republic Popular?
Been ignoring this topic at is another display of Phat's ignorance and trolling. The EC needs to be abolished as we abolished state legislatures appointing Senators. If we are going to move toward "a more perfect union" we must remove the ant-democratic legacies left in The Constitution.
We must continue what the founders tasked us to do. Continue to improve the flawed framework they came up with.

Re: Is A Republic Popular?
Who the fuck is encouraging a one-party state other than the GQP? Do you even gave a clue about what you are talking about?
WTF does China have to do with US politics and government?

How is the fact that China is one party relevant?
