    You are joking, right? Trump and his allies from Kerri Lake and others, continue to whine about this. You have Mike Lindell, remember him, continuing his "quest" to have 2020 election overturned. Most of the election deniers lost on November 8, including the Secretary of State for Arizona.

    Unoccupied enemy territory is still enemy territory.
    Less government is better government. Split as it (probably) will be, it will be powerless.

    If the issue of abortion was on the ballot, proving politicians don't control it, why vote against anyone opposed to abortions. That makes no sense to me, but maybe you have an answer. Other than voters were convinced by a lie.

    Mike Lindell? The pillow guy? What the heck does he have to do with politics? He's just like any other citizen that hangs out. Kerri Lake is being screwed by an inept system that can't count. It took Florida hours to finish counting. Arizona is still trying to figure out what 1+1+1 equals.

    An enemy is hardly any threat if all their means of defense is gutted.

    The GOP-led legislatures can still pass bills and sign by a GOP governor to restrict abortion rights as well. the GOP did very well in the state elections and a majority of them made anti-abortion their main platform, a;long with other issues.

    Don't be so hard on yourself.
    No one is required to be a partisan hack, so you could change.

    Because they cannot. If the Chinese COULD do that they would already have done so

    He is one of the biggest promoters of the "stop the steal" and an election denier. He has been to rallies at Mastriano, Masters, and others. And you did say "the only ones who are complaining about the 2020 election are Democrats." Right? My response was that it was conservatives and Mike Lindell is definitely a conservative.

    "Means of Defense" come in many ways. Terrorists can make "dirty bombs" with a few sticks of dynamite and some refuse from a hospital... nukes can be bought on the black market... planes can be hijacked and run into buildings. Germany was crippled after WWI. It took a wheelbarrow filled with Weimar currency to buy a sandwich... and it wasn't long before they defeated France, Poland and lots more.

    Words lose their effectiveness when they are overused. Look for something to replace "partisan hack" with.

    Can you name anyone that ran on an anti-abortion platform? I heard about the "other issues".

    Less is subjective and relative term. It means something different to everyone.
    Give the corrupt 2 party system, I prefer them to be powerless.

    But they really aren't. They pay off their donors quite well.

    But then the will of the people comes into play. If your break the pride one has in their country what's there to fight for?

    What describes a partisan hack better than that?
    A partisan is an uninformed voter. All they do is vote party lines, never about an individual candidate.

    Mike Lindell sells pillows! Who the hell cares what he thinks of an election? Do you think that when your green grocer wails about some issue that its significant too? When Mike Lindell talks about pillows and slippers, I listen. When he talks about politics, neurosurgery and being an astronaut... I couldn't care less. That's about it.

    So you didn't vote straight along Party lines. Good for you!

    Without the power to do so? In either party?
