  1. Agreed. When fighting monsters be careful not to become a monster in the process.

  2. Requires grassroots efforts larger than the last two years have had. People decided to sit around and wait for someone to rescue them and now they want to jump to the nuclear option. Two more years, best get to it. No more sitting around.

  3.  @generalawareness101  bad idea. This kind of behavior is addicting. No one should have this power even if it starts with benevolent reasons.

  4. Once you pick up that power and win with it what incentive do you have to put it back down? Absolutely none.

  5.  Wicker 2  did you do more than complain and vote?

  6. Once you can win with it why should you put it down? You have no incentive to do so. No it needs to be destroyed through grassroots efforts where it exists and not picked up in the places where it does not. You open that Pandora's box you will not close it again even if you think you would.

  7.  @generalawareness101  no, bunch of people decided to sit around and wait for someone to rescue them. No wonder change seldom happened outside a few states. Forgetting to get up and do some grassroots work is no excuse to jump the gun.

  8.  @bjorntheviking6039  what's to stop the rhinos from using it in their favor against populists? This could be used to kill any uprising populist movement by rhinos.

  9. Or more likely they will double down and expand instead of stop. Why would one side stop firing nukes just because the other did? Of course they won't- they'll fire more.

  10. There is no hopefully giving up power that you've gained illegally. As for the Dems, so it goes to anybody else. If you discovered you can win everywhere with it why would you possibly give it up?

  11. If they do this they will yes.

  12. Understandable, however what is to stop the red States from doing the same if they see that it works in swing States? What is to stop rhinos from honking populists? States do shift over time in their color and this could cheat the shift thereby disenfranchising millions in States shifting colors.

  13. Thereby destroying what legitimacy you had in your prior complaints as well as your future legitimacy. In order to win you dispose of your entire platform by doing this.

  14.  @generalawareness101  and basically sell out my soul and principles over it? No way. At that point I'd be just as bad as the Democrats.

  15.  Wicker 2  using illegal methods you mean. The system that you speak of is technically illegal. Sure it's abused and unaddressed in many states but that doesn't make it any less illegal. By doing this you rob yourself of the legitimacy of your cause.

  16.  Wicker 2  because it was only whining being done. I've actually done some canvasing this last 2 years. Most other people were black pillng and whining. The people who didn't do the canvasing are now panicking and proposing some sort of deal with the devil because they've been too lazy and it caught up with them. I grew up. It seems a lot of people didn't. Children cheat, adults get off their ass.
