    Open Borders, allowing Criminals to run free, masking Inflation Reduction with half the money going to Green Initiatives is just the beginning. There is no what about ism, but straight up WTF!

    We don't have open borders.
    Crime rates are higher in red states.
    "Wokeness" is a slur
    What's wrong with green initiatives?

    Rs are balking at Biden's student loan relief but we spend much more to bail out corporations.

    The DP has always been very anti-Democratic, but its leaders used to be better at hiding that Inconvenient Truth from voters.
    Democrats who want honest elections are leaving the party.

    We may not have open borders per se, but anybody who walks across the borders are welcomed with open arms and border officials have been told not to detain them in most cases as directed by the government, not the states.

    I am not against Green Initiatives, but lying to the public about fighting inflation while masking Inflation reduction by spending half the money on initiatives that has absolutely nothing to do with inflation reduction is nothing but false propaganda and intentions.

    And, I feel much safer walking downtown Miami, Orlando or Tampa than I would ever downtown Philly, Baltimore, NYC, LA or even San Fransisco. I know people in each of those cities and they fear for their safety anytime they venture near those downtown cities. Makes me think their liberal mayors are falsifying or hiding crime stats. Maybe, when they let those criminals run free on bail or never charging those people for crimes possibly. Because, I don't see the crime in red cities even near what I see on the news in blue cities. I travel alot and never see in red cities what I see in blue cities lately. 5 to 10 years ago and I would agree with you, not now.

    I am in the middle as I hate much what left and right does, but currently, what these extremist liberals are doing is hurting the lower classes more than anybody else. Because, they are the ones that have to live around the criminals and the immigrants that are given carte blanche to commit crimes. Easy for some well to do liberal to type away behind a keyboard. I live it.

    Check it out folks! When you can't run on ISSUES you run on made up crap that is super GENERAL like "save our democracy" for example.
    I can practically smell the desperation from over here.
    and let me tell you, IT REEKS!

    Easy for the Liberals to come on here and state the other side is worse but I have yet to see any liberal agenda's that have been working in the liberal cities much less nationwide that is making life better for people.

    I see You just wanted to post a list of unsubstantiated conspiracy theories you heard on your wingnut propaganda radio and blogs. Not interested.... This thread is about democracy on the ballot. But I will definitely make sure to include you in my list of posters I shouldn't waste much time reading.

    Not at all, but that doesn't absolve Trump of responsibility. Should any dictator be absolved because his followers did what he told them...but that was their choice?

    And, again, 1/6 is only one part of the story of the attempt to overthrow the 2020 election. Georgia, Fake Electors, Lies about fraud, Attempts to get Pence to reject slates of electors.

    Are you going to brush all that aside?

    Was I looking for absolution for any of them? You need to break free from whatever mind set that's making you see what's not there :)

    Keeping Trump and his sycophants out of office IS the issue.

    Now here is where I ONCE again post, "Do you do everything your leader tells you to do"? And let me ask, do you have a link to where Trump instructed those grown ass adults to storm the capital ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    No theory, just watch the nightly news. Must be nice in your neighborhood writing about how great the liberal run cities are when the people you voted in don't see the cesspool the lower class constituents have to wade through on a daily basis.

    Wow, you just posted something right and left agreed upon many years ago. Would be nice if we could get both to agree on the borders, not allowing criminals to run free and not calling green spending as Inflation spending!

    Only someone who is Politically unaware - the nicest way one can put it - would believe that democracy would be saved or not saved on the basis of the mid terms

    "Rule of Law" What the frak are you talking about G ? Rule of Law doesn't apply to the USA .. kicked that down the curb long ago .. and how would this election change things ? .. You can't know what Rule of Law is speaking this nonsense .. "Rule of Law" gimme a break from platitude land .. platitudes you don't understand.

    "Climate Change" - Oh .. thats a funny one Uncle Joe's "Not in my back Yard - Dump it in the Ocean" Enviro policy not only has been responsible for a massive increase to ocean Pollution over the last 25 years .. to the point where another 25 years of similar destruction will likely put us past the brick wall .. catastrophic damage .. some of the sores we are seeing already .. no need to wait for for 100 years for the Oceans to rise a few feet .. Oceans already gasping.. but, Bidens policy also managed to increase CO2 emissions from 22 Billion tons/year to 36 Billion tons/year .. or the last 25 years .. and with no change in sight to the Biden policy .. look for further increases on that front as well .. speeding that horse up in this two horse race over the cliff .. but still nowhere close to the Ocean Horse.

    "Civil Liberties" - Did you live on some other over the last 6 years .. Civil Liberties ? Clearly you don't know what those are either.

    Hoplessly lost were your comments .. the reverse of which is true in the real world .. got turned around in the Forest Friend .. walking the direction opposite you think you are.

    Because, as we all know, that in order to convict the mob boss of ordering a hit they have to get him, on tape, saying, "I want you kill Tony Carpucci on Tuesday night at 9:00 at his apartment. Use this 9 mm pistol I bought just for the occasion"

    Au Contraire.
    There are some people who are “buying it”. Many of them in positions to do something about it.
    All across the country judges have been rejecting Trump’s (and those who aided him) arguments in court.
