ben9753 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 We were told to take him seriously not literally, right? What a crock. If he gets re-elected and has control of Congress, I fully expect him to amend the constitution to allow more than 2 terms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly! Now if only the dems (aka, our only hope) can take a look at history and realize whoever wins the center, wins the election.

Because I can think of at least 13 states (VT, MA, CT, RI, NY, NJ, DE, MD, IL, CA, OR, WA, HI) which would never, ever do that. Or do you mean by extraconstitutional dictatorial means?

If only the Dems wouldn't veer too far to the left, then people in the center wouldn't be forced to vote for a fascist dictatorship.

Most of the folks in the center don't actually pay that much to politics. They don't like Trump, but they don't really trust dems a whole lot either. They care about what is effecting them right now. So if inflation is still an issue, or they are getting tired of getting out of work late and not being able to find a fast food restaurant that is still open like they used to be to grab some food because they just want to get home and eat, they may not care that all the intellectuals say a vote for Trump say it would lead to the end of the US as they know it. Because to them, those are the same intellectuals telling them there is no inflation, the jobs market is the best ever, and the world is sunshine and roses if they just keep on voting in those dems.

oblong Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 But you also have some on the 'left' who won't vote for a centrist because they once used the wrong pronoun or maybe didn't explicitly condemn someone for making an off color joke in 1993.

I can't do anything about spineless GOP. I also think a lot of them are. They need backbone to stand up to the dems. The rest of that list is the fault of the dems especially racial division, terrorism, problems with foriegn countries and drug cartels. Dems are up to their necks in it or make it worse. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 It doesn't seem like going after Trump is a smart move for the dems. After four years of failure from Biden/Harris the dems chance of winning reelection in 2024 is slim to none. Their best chance of winning is against Trump. So pushing him out of the race is the best thing for the Republican party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
