England is a Monarchy
France is a Republic
Any others?
isn't he U.S a republic as well?
and as far as the electoral college, I'd worry about the parties putting forth more qualified candidates (if such a thing exist) before I concern myself with the technicalities of how these idiots are elected.
What you said scares the shiit out of me.
That way of perceiving things is how we got to Jan 6 and why the body politic is clinging to life and will flat line unless more standard republicans become independents and dems and more independents become dems.
Right now there are so many smart really talented dems and we have a president that has kept so many promises and produced such prodigious results.
I know this will make you angry Wylie but I wonder why you are not able to draw a wider line between the 2 parties. If you can’t really see what is right before your eyes either open your eyes And your ears or give in to the architecture of fear.
A lot of independents ignore republicans but belittle dems and insist that they be more then perfect even when it is only / only the dems that will protect their way of life.
people calling themselves independents are usually embarrassed republicans or dopes. Sometimes not of those 2 but most of the time yes.
if course IMO.
you know what? I don't really care if my opinion scares the **** out of you. It scares me that you are unable to see that while most democrats are better than most republicans, that's not a very high bar to get over. Yes, there are some dems who are decent. I'm sure there are 1 or 2 republicans who are decent, you just never hear about them. I get you don't agree with me, and that's fine. I don't agree with everything you post either.
And why would it make me angry? I know how you feel about this. We happen to disagree. People disagreeing with my opinions does not make me angry. People with totally closed minds and who can't think for themselves (I'm looking at you, lnf) make me angry.
What you don’t agree with me on is that :
1. Way most dems are way most better then the safest Republican. I would say every fed dem I would have to think hard about 2. You describe the tipping of the scale by an extra pebble. You could not be more wrong.
2. The democrats have a platform ( which you always leave out ) that they ascribe to and legislate to live up to and that agenda is unbelievably modern and productive and helps the country thrive. You ignore it
as if it is non existent and or not tethered to each democrat.
3. Republicans also follow their doomsday let’s go to hell and back agenda which you also ignore and leave out of your comparison.
4. I forgot 4 but I’ll let you know when I remember.
opinions are just that, opinions. I have mine, you have yours. I don't think I have ever told you (or anyone else) that they're opinion is wrong. You obviously have no problem doing that if the opinion in question does not match yours.
When I am so certain that I consider what I say is fact proven over and over and over then it is not opinion to me.
Thats what we have - you consider your statements to be opinion while my statements are fact which cannot be disputed. Literally and truly. There is overwhelming data to uphold what I say.
That is just the way it is.
What I say isn’t fact because I say it is.
It is fact because it is proven way beyond a shadow of a doubt.
Going back to my statements there are about 3-4 people in congress that are dems that I don’t trust and throw them in with the republicans even though they are far far superior then any Republican.
