@timogul The problem with people like you is that you want to put all conservatives into one category. All conservatives are not Q believers or conspiracy theorists. We are not a monolith that fits the narrative you are trying to push.

@timogul I voted for Trump because of conservative policies, but I don't agree with everything Trump says or does. I have voted for democrats in the past, but not Biden because he's a career politician and part of the problem.

@timogul That is your opinion. There were a number of conservative policies that Trump was responsible for, lower taxes, less regulation which provided the best economy in decades. Record low unemployment rates for all Americans. The best border security America has had in years. Protecting the Second Ammendment. These are just some of the conservative policies or reasons why I voted for Trump. So with your flawed reasoning that if I voted for Trump that I was automatically guilty of being in favor of everything he did or said is absolutely ridiculous. With that reasoning everyone who voted for Biden (maybe you too) is automatically in favor of everything Biden does or says. I would not put that crazy kind of reasoning on anyone. A person can vote for a candidate without liking everything about them.

@timogul LOL 😆 you have swallowed the media narrative hook, line, and sinker. Trump's economy was not from Obama. If it was because of Obama why didn't we achieve all those milestones in the 8 years Obama was in office? Also when I voted for Trump in 2016 he was definitely the better choice. Hillary Clinton was a terrible candidate and I actually voted for and liked Bill Clinton. I guess we will agree to disagree.

@timogul Like I said that is your opinion and you are entitled to it. We will agree to disagree.

@timogul There are economists who support your theory that the economy was just a continuation of the Obama administration. There are also economists who support the theory that the tax cuts and deregulation actually helped the economy and thus created the record low unemployment and record high stock market. However, people like you will never admit that Trump did anything good. Is there faults and flaws with Trump? Yes, of course there is, no one is perfect. At least I admit Trump made mistakes. You are a "blue no matter who" type.

@timogul Like I said I have voted for democrats so I'm definitely not in a red/republican only category. LOL I'm even registered as a democrat.

@timogul You are entitled to your opinion. I however, cannot understand voting for a career politician like Biden who has put bad policies into place in the Senate. He is currently in favor of doing away with several parts of our Constitution. Then there's his family deals with China, some of which don't look good. If you don't like Trump because of his remarks, policies, or family business that's your prerogative. However, Biden is no better, his past and recent racist remarks, the lying, plagiarizing etc. His third time running for president was the lucky charm thanks to Obama and Clyburn resurrecting his campaign. I personally don't see how anyone that knew anything about Biden would think he would make a good president, but some people just voted blue no matter who because orange man bad.

@timogul There is more to undermining democracy than voting and elections. Democrats are doing a pretty good job of trying to destroy the Constitution. Hopefully the few sane one's that are left will not let that happen. As for you, you are a lost cause. It's obvious that you will never hold anyone in your party responsible for doing anything wrong. Have a great life living in your blue no matter who existence.
2
@timogul LOL Your standards don't make you appear very rational either, you'll vote blue no matter who even though you don't even know who the presidential candidates will be for 2024.

@timogul What are the "wild conspiracy theories" in my comment? Everything I said is easily verified by doing some research.
1
@timogul I didn't say I was worried about the Biden family deals with China. I could care less. I was using it as a comparison because most democrats are so worried about Trump's family business and deals. However, if you're a democrat who's worried about Trump's family business then Biden and his family should be no different.

@timogul Democracy is being undermined by politicians from both parties, the media, foreign governments etc. Trump promoted law and order, but undermined democracy in other ways. Many politicians and the media undermined our election process, as a result many people have lost faith in the government. Can you be honest and admit that there's plenty of democrats including Biden who also undermine democracy? Probably not, that's ok continue your blue no matter who defense. Trump will continue to live rent free in your head.

@timogul LOL you must be referring to DC vs. Heller. Justice Scalia didn't get rid of the clause "a well regulated militia" he put it into context with the rest of the 2nd ammendment. DC was trying to keep a citizen from having a gun in his personal home. That is a violation of the Constitution. You probably don't see it that way. However, there's your evidence of democrats violating the Constitution. If Biden and this Congress pass what they want there will be multiple violations of our Constitution. Example: DC statehood, abolish the Electoral College, HR1 voting will take away states rights to control their elections. Packing the Supreme Court which is not a violation of the Constitution, but a 100 plus year old norm. Then there's also getting rid of the filibuster because all of the sudden it's a racist relic. Funny it wasn't a racist relic when they used it for their benefit over the last two years. Wake up and realize that the democratic party isn't pure and free from fault!

@timogul You should read the Constitution it does prohibit DC statehood. The Constitution says that a new state cannot be made from joining states. If DC wants representation the land should go back to Maryland and Virginia. They don't want to change the Electoral College they want it gone. Trump did not pack the court, he fulfilled his Constitutional duty. I'll agree McConnell was an ass not to appoint Garland, but that was not Trump's doing. If you go back and re-read I didn't say the filibuster was in the Constitution. If the democrats do away with the filibuster, pack the court, gain statehood for DC, abolish the EC etc. it is a power grab. Someday the democrats will loose and when they do they will be sorry. However, maybe that's their plan to stay in power.

@timogul I have a fairly good grasp of the Constitution. However, I don't think you understand the Constitutional problems of giving statehood to DC. I am not going to take the time to explain them to you as you don't care anyway. However, if you want more information from the Constitution article II section 1 clause 2 or there's an unbiased article at rpc.senate.gov I don't know where you live, but if you don't live in a big city your vote doesn't mean much in a popular vote. You obviously don't understand how the Electoral College works. The Supreme Court has been vastly more liberal leaning for about 50 years. Now that it has a slight conservative majority democrats just can't wait to pack the court. By the way the Pew Research Center did a nice graph that shows the Supreme Court Justices and how they rule. None of them are far right wing. Its been a few years since we've had a divided Senate. The last time we had a divided Senate the exact same negotiations took place between the majority and minority leaders. You keep going on and on about democratic principles. I do believe in fair elections that's why I like the Electoral College, it makes voting fair for everyone. I believe in law and order, not mob rule which is what you get in a complete democracy. Thankfully America is a Federal Constitutional Republic. I believe that every citizen is equal and has equal rights. In short I believe in the Constitution. the Bill of Rights and that it lays out the laws of our land.

@timogul You truly don't understand how the Electoral College works. Why should states with a higher population have more voting powers and decide who the president will be? That's why the Electoral College works, the big cities and states don't have more voting power than smaller less populated states. In the majority of elections the Electoral College works. The Constitution has many amendments for good reasons giving women and minorities the right to vote being one of them. I don't see how you could possibly think I wouldn't want voting rights for women. 1. I am a woman 2. I already said I believe all citizens should be treated equally. It's obvious that you and I will never agree on many things, your mind will not be changed and neither will mine. Like I said before we can agree to disagree. It is unrealistic too think that everyone will agree with other's point of view.
1
@timogul LOL you've confirmed that you don't understand how the Electoral College works. Yes, it was a compromise, but not because they were afraid of states breaking away. It was a compromise between the House of Representatives choosing the president and the popular vote among citizens. Also you make no sense, you're against the popular vote being used in states, (Electoral College) but for the popular vote nation wide. Also the Electoral College has been used for around 200 years. There has only been 5 elections that the Electoral College and the popular vote hasn't gone to the same candidate. Using the last few elections to form your argument in your favor isn't an accurate representation.

@timogul My point was that in your previous comment you talked about New York and Texas and said that Biden received more votes in Texas than New York but still lost Texas. By the way Biden didn't get that many more votes, 15,000 vote difference. 5.2 million for Texas and New York for Biden. My point was that you are for the popular vote nationally, but not across a state ie.Texas. You are still confused about how the Electoral College works. The Electoral College doesn't work off a percentage so I'm not really sure where you were going with your state A and B analogy. If we were too elect by popular vote the 4 most populated states are California, Texas, Florida, and New York. Coincidentally two of those states went to Biden and the other two for Trump. Hypothetically if were to use just those 4 states democrats would win because California and New York are majority democrat states and have more population. Usually republican states have less population than democrat states. Even though Texas is the second most populated state with 27 million people, California and New York have more people than Texas and Florida. The Electoral College isn't perfect, but the Founding Father's didn't want to have elections by popular vote because they wanted to prevent mob rule. The Founding Father's wanted the states with less population to have equal representation with the most populated states. Again America is not a democracy. The Founding Father's wanted to avoid a complete and total democracy as our form of government.

@timogul I believe that everyone's vote should count, but you don't seem to understand population differences. I realize with the popular vote everyone gets one vote, but the major cities and states with the most population would elect the president while the smaller cities and less populated states would be out numbered. If a state has more population then its votes count more than less populated states. I realize in a state it's winner take all and that's who gets the EC total. The majority of the elections here the candidate who wins the Electoral College also has the popular vote. PS you don't need to repeat everything back to me, I'm well aware of my comments. Also this debate really isn't going anywhere. You've stated your point and I've stated mine. We are never going to agree.
1
@timogul I'm done with you. I've explained my point of view and you still don't get it. You dwell on two elections 2000 and 2016 which in your opinion messed this country up, but guess what, America survived! We'll hopefully survive Biden then we'll move on. You should do the same, move on.
1
@timogul I do not expect you nor anyone else to agree with me. That's all on you. I've said many times that we can agree to disagree. You however, seem too feel as though you have a right to force your opinion on me or others who think like me. This is exactly why I left the democratic party because of people like you that are intolerant of others views. You expect other people to agree with you simply because you believe that you are right. You also think that some how I am less American than you because I don't agree with you. I assure I am just as American as you are or anyone else residing in this great country.
