  1. We are a representative republic, not a pure democracy. founders knew the dangers of mob rule.

  2. I'm 68 in California, Biden is every bit the clown as Trump, but Trump has done real work in the world, Joe never has, not even as Senator.

  3.  @WabiSabiLady  His children and grandchildren love him, so does his son-in-law, he's not as you describe to all, and he received more votes in 2020 than he did in 2016. I think more thought should go into the description based on reality.

  4.  @jasonrod4523  Biden does not get my vote, not in 2020, nor 2024, but that has nothing to do with age. I'm a big fan of the mind of Sir Roger Penrose, he's 92.

  5.  @theophany150  No, he did not claim that, it was a "got you" question to one of his lawyers. If you are willing to lie about that, what else do you lie about?

  6. Koch is 88 years old and The Heritage Society is not a threat to democracy, quite the contrary, it stands for individual freedom against the collective mob.

  7.  @WabiSabiLady  I think he's hilariously funny, and get the joke, others don't, they enjoy being scared by the monster they created.

  8. Trump would not know Bernays from a Béarnaise Sauce, your comment is sophomoric at best, as the field has moved on. Trump is almost 80 years old, what are his "interests"?

  9.  @theophany150  "Money"?, again, you have no idea what you are talking about, as if Trump as an individual has cash he's protecting, not the game he's in, never has been. Freud's nephew did not invent "propaganda", it goes back to the 17th Century and Catholic missionaries who spread Christianity. Propaganda comes from the Latin propagare, meaning to spread or propagate, Trump did not say he would have rivals murdered, it was a legal speculation by lawyers, so who is now spreading "propaganda"? Obama killed a 16-year old American citizen in a drone attack. Abdulrahman Anwar al-Awlaki was a 16-year-old United States citizen who was killed by a drone strike on October 14, 2011, under a policy approved by U.S. President Barack Obama. An example of presidential immunity.

  10. I'm a California Democrat, the one party dictatorship of Gavin Newsom is the more significant threat, as is the permanent class bureaucracy in Washington which colludes with the media, not unlike the BBC.

  11.  @nicholascrow8133  State of Wisconsin just ruled mobile voting vans were illegal. There's always "interference" in elections, coming from every angle, politics is a relatively bloodless sport of war. Kamala Harris should have never encouraged rioting and looting, even to the extent of bailing out the rioters. I agree. Trump said in a video on 1/6, "go home, you want peace now". What will the streets look like if Trump is elected in 2024. Who will be the rioters then?

  12. America is not designed to be a pure democracy, as framed, since the founders were fully aware of the failings of Athens.
