    Just like our 2 choices of Trump/Biden or Trump/Clinton

    Picking the lesser of 2 evils sucks

    In the context of individualism vs coercive collectivism, I think we're approaching an impasse.

    I agree. Diversity will be our downfall. Great job, Progressives.

    I think that is the Progressive plan. To collapse the nation and reassemble it as a Progressive Totalitarianism.

    I've voted in a fair number of elections, and the choice is always that.

    Already been publicly announced:

    Now is the time for a 'great reset'
    03 Jun 2020 Klaus Schwab Founder and Executive Chairman, World Economic Forum

    https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/06/now-is-the-time-for-a-great-reset/
    • Visit the Great Reset microsite here.
    • Hear Klaus Schwab on these podcast episodes: the Great Reset launch and his book.
    • We can emerge from this crisis a better world, if we act quickly and jointly, writes Schwab.
    • The changes we have already seen in response to COVID-19 prove that a reset of our economic and social foundations is possible.
    • This is our best chance to instigate stakeholder capitalism - and here's how it can be achieved.

    Believe it or not, I am trying real hard here to understand what planet you might be living on, because on this planet, it has been the conservatives who have fired the first shot, and keep on doing it.

    Be specific...what radical thing have the Liberals done that has upset the balance of power? Or maybe it is personal, so I ask then, how have Liberals made your life so miserable?

    You know, that does piss me off too, but I haven't seen a Republican tackle this one, in fact, because of this latest fiasco with abortion, none of us have any privacy based on the rationale in this decision.

    You don't have any privacy because the SCOTUS ruled that abortion isn't a constitutional right?
    Amazing

    Yes, it is amazing that you cannot follow news or a chain of events based on the rationale they used.

    Actually, every ballot I've ever received allows you to write in a candidate. So no, it's only a binary choice if you allow it to be.

    So, you've lost hope and just resign yourself to it?

    I understand where you're coming from, just don't know if I'm totally there yet.

    Oh I understand it perfectly. They simply overturned an existing ruling that made abortions a constitutional right. Which it isn't. Never was.
    So can you explain how you don't have any privacy because the SCOTUS overturned a ruling claiming abortion is a constitutional right?

    Generally it's useless to address replies from the left, because they are unable to be rational or realistic- just like kids having tantrums.

    The "balance of power" should be that all rational, honest voices are heard. Not the lunatics or those on rant over their own emotions, nor those demanding that others be forced to fix issues that only the person complaining can control. There are elements that separate discussion from pissing matches- arguments defined by denials of truth, denials of values, deception and insult.

    You can look at the effects of liberalism in schools- starting years back with universities, and now down to grade school levels... teaching people they have no value they owe everybody, their parents are evil all white people are racist.... I once researched some of this in college, and found professors with tenure that say things like "you should go home and kill your parents", or that "Soldiers should turn their guns on their officers".

    We have the liberal promoting racism, riots and crime right now- as well as hatred in general. The liberal DA's are turning criminal loose in droves. Refusing to prosecute. The police are being cut back and restrained from enforcing law. The result is unprecedented increase in all levels of crime from shoplifting which has become a team effort that they fail to prosecute, to murder.

    We have political chicanery that is unprecedented in history. The constitution is constantly attacked, and members of congress are violating their oath of office everyday- easy to prove.
    The candidacy of Trump had the left planning impeachment before he was elected-and once he was, the continuous assault on him had the objective of blocking everything he wanted to do.
    Unlike Biden, Trump worked hard to keep the promises that got him elected, such as building a border wall. Trump wanted to stop illegal entry- Biden promotes it, and transport illegal aliens by airliner, every day- in direct violation of US Code 1324a, Immigration law. Felony.

    Then we have things like the fake dossier, a political conspiracy to interfere with a federal election with false evidence. Conceived, directed and paid for by- The Dem candidate and the DNC. That's proven, not speculation. Had that been Trump's doing, he would be hanged. Since it was the dems/liberals behind it and the same judging it, they see no real problem.

    IF you aren't smart enough to see these things are designed specifically to shift the balance of power.... You have the same problem. You refuse to recognize reality when it's not convenient, and deny that makes any difference. I'd say that makes you the definitive answer to your own challenge. Hard to get more wrong than that.
