Democracy?

Post #1

Post by Tcg »

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?

To be clear: Atheism is not a disbelief in gods or a denial of gods; it is a lack of belief in gods.

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.
Biden got 81 million votes in 2020. Out of the 158,429,631 votes cast for president that year, how is that impossible?

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 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.

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.

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.

Courts hastily rejected voting fraud claims in the first few weeks after the election, but so much unchallenged evidence of fraud has come to light since then that there is no longer any doubt the democrats stole thje 2020 election.

Shared on Facebook and Instagram days leading up to the 2020 U.S. general election, posts show a clip of Joe Biden saying, “We have put together I think the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.”

Yes, I am aware of the excuses democrats make to try to cover up Biden's slip of the tongue.

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.

Th fact of a long history of democrat voting fraud and existing democrat opposition to voting security measures serve to support the evidence of democrat voting fraud and Biden's candid admission of their enhanced voting fraud organization.
