In the past, the youth sang songs of protest. Today all we get is vapid pop songs. I guess we have to leave it up to the old guys to wake us up.
Why are we willing to give up our freedom to any totalitarian who promises comfort even though we know deep down it is a lie?

Democracy?
Post #1To be clear: Atheism is not a disbelief in gods or a denial of gods; it is a lack of belief in gods.

Not believing isn't the same as believing not.

I must assume that knowing is better than not knowing, venturing than not venturing; and that magic and illusion, however rich, however alluring, ultimately weaken the human spirit.

And they weren't seen as seditious for questioning the count; they were seen as seditious for violently storming the Capitol building.
Look, I don't like the Democrat party any more than you do (I left it and went Independent years ago), but to handle things maturely we all have to learn to accept disappointments and deal with them in a mature fashion. I'm not your enemy and you're not mine. The two-party political system we have keeps us divided against each other, and that keeps us all disenfranchised.
Biden got 81 million votes in 2020. Out of the 158,429,631 votes cast for president that year, how is that impossible?Millions of Americans were duped into believing the democrat lie that Trump and his followers committed sedition by questioning the imposible number of Biden votes in 2020.

Remember also that a lot of us were hiding in our basements in 2020, and that a lot of those who didn't ended up dying because of it.
I don't remember Biden ever bragging on any "voting fraud organization". Remember----it was the courts, including courts with Trump-appointed judges, which dismissed challenges to the vote count due to lack of evidence.Biden got 10% more votes than Obama ever got just by hiding in his basement in 2020 and relying on the excellent voting fraud organization he bragged the democrats had perfected.

What makes you think it was anything other than a slip of the tongue? He's in his eighties and his brain probably isn't as sharp as it once was. Remember the debate in which he said, "if we finally beat Medicare ..."? Obviously not what he intended to say.Yes, I am aware of the excuses democrats make to try to cover up Biden's slip of the tongue.
