Perfect: you know what's best, do you not?


I know what's best for me..... personal responsibility, pursuit of happiness, chasing dreams, building a business which supports other people and my family, holding myself and others to high standards, charity to others not as fortunate, non-intrusive federal government and lower taxes for all.

I would suspect that these things would be good for all, except the lazy, thuglike, materialistic societal rejects and their putrid offspring.

Electoral College. Educate yourself about why it exists and has worked well for 250 years.

Voting restrictions? Yes - requiring protection for the vote is really restrictive. Why are progressive/leftists so opposed to election integrity?

American, There is no threat to our election system. The Trump cult doesn't like minority voters to vote. They throw road blocks up to make it as difficult as possible. Thats why we had a system where southern states had to get federal approval for any changes in election laws.

I have no problem with any person legally eligible to vote, within the confines or current voter laws in place at their location.

I'm curious how you think Barrack Hussein O'bama was elected to President twice?

BTW, I'm a Trump cultist, white supremacist, racist terrorist...... for the liberals tell me so.

Specify exactly what 'roadblocks'. I keep hearing that but it ends up being 'voter ID is racists'.

Yes gerrymandering. The whole purpose of that practice is to dilute the vote of the party not in power. For example, in NC more votes are cast for Democrats in state elections, yet SOMEHOW our Representatives are 10 to 3 Republicans. Democratic gerrymandering is just wrong as Republican. Two wrongs don't make a right.

I know why the electoral college exists and it's history: it was the compromise extracted by the small states to give them equal voice in the Senate to the large states. That is the very definition of giving the minority votes more power than the majority. It has worked very well for small and rural states, not so much the larger urbanized states.

The vote is already protected. What you meant to say was that any vote your candidate does not win means the voting is 'stolen'. Your insistence, without proof or evidence, that the loser of the last presidential election really won is just another way of saying that the minority should rule.

It isn't the left that has contempt for the masses. It is the right that calls democracy 'mob rule'.

If gerrymandering is so horrible, perhaps you sensitive leftist ought to lay back and let what will be, what will be.

Electoral College - you would be more correct if you used "more populated" states instead of large states. It was not "extracted," it wazS granted as condition to joining the Union. Do you propose to welch on that agreement?

I, as well as you should maintain some stfu on election fraud as the question continues to be investigated by serious people.

I don't see that the left has contempt for the masses. I think they want to depend on big government to manage all aspects of their lives including free cheese. I think that the right envisions the light of freedom, individual responsibility, pursuit of happiness coupled with law and order. I see BLM et al as mob rioting!

Your comment was "The right's reliance on gerrymandering": So why do you specify 'the right' when you also agree both sides are 'guilty'?

Your comment "it was the compromise extracted by the small states to give them equal voice in the Senate to the large states. That is the very definition of giving the minority votes more power than the majority" is contradictory. First "equal voice" then "more power than". The EC is operating just the way it was designed.

"The vote is already protected": That is debatable - and that is what all the turmoil/discussion is currently about.

For you to comment about "your candidate" is silly because you do not know who I voted for - or if I even voted.

But I believe that the vote needs to be above reproach in all respects. And I do not know how that can be done without:
1) Absolute proof the person is eligible to vote.
2) The person casting the ballot is absolutely the person registered to vote.

Do you disagree?

Well dude, here’s the bad news… you’re paying for it all anyway and getting nothing for it.
Your tax money subsidizes everything you buy. It subsidizes every head of lettuce thrown in the trash by big supermarkets.
$6Billion subsidy for already profitable oil company’s.
That should be enough for free gas for everyone.

There is a great difference between the Military soldiers & Free Citizens that should be kept and understood.

Years in the military can make adjusting to living in Freedom an inner battle.
Just because the military walks in cadence doesn't mean that all Free Citizens should.

The left wants to rule civilization like the Military... look at them now... will the military be able to protect
a Free Nation when they are taught just the opposite (as the Left wants to implement)?

The Left allows those who burn down cities & businesses, fight police, abuse those who own houses, & agree with Marxism/Communism to walk 'scot free'. They want the Freedom believers in prison or jail... that's communism.

The Right wants to continue Freedom, while the Left wants to enslave, destroy the economy, and dictate!

So, who knows what's best for citizens? The Right or the Destructive Left!

The military is the largest Socialist Republic on the planet. So, starting from there everything you claim is wrong.
The right has no use for freedom. They claim to all the time but every time they should stand up for freedom they can only blame the democrats for something.
I don’t think they really know what freedom is . But more. Only what it’s not.
Anything the Dems stand for is not freedom, it is an ulterior motive to ruin the right.
Anything the Dems stand for is not Liberty . It’s a plan hatched in the middle of the night to ruin the world for the right.
The Dems are incapable of knowing what freedom and Liberty and the pursuit of happiness is. Their only plan is to take power and destroy the world with Marxist,Leninist, Chairman Mao statues on every corner .
Raise your hand if I’m getting close. How stupid can the Dems be ? For actually assuming they are an intricate part of this country, the majority , notwithstanding.
Democracy after all means only one party rule , right ??????

Funny, it's the right that has been led to believe that they are special, smarter, more loyal, are more patriotic and love their country the mostest, basically it amounts to being seriously special in the feeble definition, and prove it by seeing deeper truths in the silliest and stupidest conspiracy theories known to man...

God help us they truly believe trump won the election
