"Can't Count Votes? Just Draw Straws."

Journal by fustakrakich

That the Democrats lose House seats, do not win the Senate and barely manage to drag their demented presidential candidate towards a stalemate tells a lot about their lack of sane policies. A donor party completely disinterested in what the people really want - medicare for all, no fracking etc. - will have little chance to survive a future onslaught of conservatives with a more competent figure head than Donald Trump. ...should Trump lose this election, Trumpism will only grow and make the U.S. ungovernable.

    The mayor of Portland does indeed support rioters. Maybe not looters, I'd have to do some research to say that. The mayor of Seattle supported rioters, looters, and only drew the line at murders within CHOP or CHAZ or whatever cute name is fashionable this month. Other mayors around the US have been supportive of rioting and looting, to greater and lesser degrees. I'm happy to say that ALMOST ALL mayors have been supportive of legitimate demonstrations.

    You say you own your shit, then go ahead and own it. The moment a person is injured and/or property damage happens, it is no longer a "peaceful demonstration", instead it has turned into a riot. Own it.

    I will not go so far as to say that disobeying a police order constitutes a riot. That depends on the circumstances.

    When a genuine peaceful demonstration passes through your town, there might be a little litter to pick up, signs and flyers to take down, maybe some trampled shrubbery to tend to. No broken windows, no burnt out cars, no looting, only very minor injuries, no broken fences, none of that crap.
