"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.

    Do you agree then, with my definition of "riot"? Can you fault my definition? Or, are you going to simply redefine the word like the "left" has defined so many other words?

    Seems to me that arbitrarily redefining good old English words is "literally Hitler".

    There is no need to define the words, we have dictionaries maybe try using one sometime?

    Assaulting and arresting innocent people exercising their constitutional rights is not OK, but you seem to only truly care about the 2A. Police can arrest rioters and looters, not gassing and maiming protesters. If you can't agree with that then you are a fascist who is OK with violence used to oppress dissent.

    I'm sure the first argument in your head was "bbbbut the baddies melt into the crowd so we have to condemn all of them" which is once again fascist thinking. Vietnam was full of war crimes based on that same thinking.
