The end meaning of all the ballot box argument is still this-theyre advocating violence for political means. IE terrorism. Yall want to argue about if he meant we lost the election, or if our elections dont matter while ignoring the other part.

This person is advocating for terrorism. They are advocating for the death of your fellow Americans.

Wow... Ok Clara... ok..

Maybe send an email to your English teacher asking about that, or something. But ok. We're done then, if that's what you think.

And while everyone is on here arguing on what to do, 4,500 illegals were detained the other day. How many made it undetected?

U.S. Border Patrol agents caught more than 4,500 migrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border in a single day on Wednesday, a sign that illegal entries could continue to rise in March.

This situation is what people need to be fired up about. Instead of bickering about what to call a virus.

Y'all keep that big 'ole fence around it for no reason at taxpayers expense. Pelosi is a very scared witch. Bless her evil heart. Y'all sure do waste the money we put toward taxes. Y'all spend a lot also. Seems like y'all don't like a growing economy with the way y'all waste money. Talk to me about it in a year or maybe sooner. 2008 ALL OVER again.

Sure, send everyone Stimulus checks to hopefully get more votes. But you know what? That money will only help pay for expensive gas, due to Biden and expensive cost of goods due to the rise in fuel. And 1400 doesn't go that far. And you give out stimulus money, homes, welfare to illegals that hadn't paid a lick of money toward taxes. Wow...just WOW! Well Corrupt Joe ever go to the border himself ..and soon? No, because they love the illegals coming in. The more the better. Let those votes keep flooding in.
You seem triggered and you wasted plenty energy with that long response. Not bothered with the rest of your drivel. I voted against Trump more than for Biden. It’s not going to be perfect but it’s better than the alternative.

Also, did you mean easily “manipulated?” If so, you all certainly are.

Have a blessed day.

Illegals coming in in the main "Crazy" that I'm talking about. There is a whole long list of CRAZY!!

All these anti-American crazies that are going on. There is nothing about the illegals coming in that is pro-American. If not for these illagals being extra votes for the dems, they would not be allowed in. Biden doesn't even care that it's a crisis. If he did, why isn't his butt down there himself?

Voting is an act of assigning your political power as a citizen. No part of the voting process removes power from anyone. It only adds, one vote at a time.

You see your vote as an action supporting your disapproval of a candidate. That's not how voting works, though. Voting isn't a signal of disapproval. It's exclusively a signal of approval.

You've assigned your political power to a candidate who you've admitted that you didn't vote for. Think about that.

I don't think acting like the Dems is the answer. We need to get local. Have local events. Create a grassroots effort. Need to reach the people w/o the media. Get our ideas out there without being negative Nancies. The fringe on both sides acts like idiots. Reach the middle and show them why the Republic ideas are better. Be smart, not a bully.


cd :O)

NO ONE except Trump is to be believed. And that's terribly dangerous. And THAT is putting us in the fast lane for destruction. If every piece of information has to be filtered through one narcissist, for a significant portion of the country to believe it, we're sunk.
If political authorities, the media, etc., have no credibility with a wide swath of the population, it is their own doing. The media doesn't even pretend to be non-biased anymore. I had hoped the democratic party would consider why Trump was so popular with so many and move back towards the middle but they're going further towards the marxist left.
