"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.

    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.

    "bbbbut the baddies melt into the crowd"

    That is a consideration. There is also a consideration of "the police were under active attack with explosive and other weapons". If you are fool enough to surround and attack 10, 20, 30 armed men, you don't get to cry "foul" when they open fire on you.

      Hi fascist, nice examples you have there that don't match up with 99% of the police brutality. Get fucked you traitor, may your "common cause" buddies turn on you once they have no more use for an old fool.

    You fucking liberal piece of rotting shit. Viet Nam? Who the hell pushed us into and ramped up Viet Nam? Any guesses?

    Yeah, keep calling Trump a fascist. It fits your moronic "cancel culture". Redefine fascism and anything else you wish. But let's be clear- it's not for your agenda, but for your moronic herd mentality of having to belong to a group of kool aid drunk morons.

    When you get some time off from your mindless bullshit, look up who maybe ended Viet Nam war.
