Agree — and I felt and did the same!!
Bush was a disaster. And McCain singing, “bomb bonb bomb Iran” repeatedly and thinking it was funny after their disastrous mismanagement of Iraq, i voted for Obama the first time, NOT THE SECOND TERM.

I’ve been independent for years, but I now lean pretty conservative — the Republican Party is NOT the party of Nixon and Bush family anymore.

Why would any decent person want to run for President and drag their families, friends, and associates through the sewer of our current political culture of character assasination, censure, indictments, fake impeachments, and doxing???

Like has been pointed out, unless it is someone like Ross Perot, a R or D will win. And Ross only got 20% of the vote.

I rarely like any of them. But pick the one who would do the least damage to the country.

You clearly misunderstood, or didn't read, the article. He didn't blame President Biden for CRT, he blamed the Democratic Party for CRT, which he's right, as CRT was used in Virginia under Democratic Governor McAuliffe's tenure and continued under Democratic Governor "Blackface" Northam, and was listed on the Virginia DOE website. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/vir...n-taught-there

Correct. There is only two reasons Democrats voted for Biden:

1. Name recognition from being a VP
2. He was a rich old white man, as they were terrified anyone else would lose to Trump

I, for one, am glad that Bill Maher is red pilling his audience to a large degree.


But he is still one of these mainstream media clowns with Trump Derangement Syndrome who thinks that most of the Democrat Party is still rational and just needs to put its collective foot down on the loud minority of "wokeists".


No. Kamala Harris bailed out violent rioters and rapists. The Justice Department under Brandon labeled the parents of school children terrorists. And this White House has caused inflation, open borders and medical tyranny.


All of us on the Right know it and see it. The Democrat fish rots from the head.


People like Bill Maher need to wake up and start telling the entire truth, not just the parts they find convenient.

From the article: "During the 2020 election, Carter did not support the Trump administration but was also concerned about how far-left candidates like Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren would govern. He said he voted for Biden thinking he was the "safest choice."

"I donated to Biden ... I supported Kamala Harris from day one ... I even starred in Biden's victory video ‘America the Beautiful,’" Carter said, referring to a post-election video on Biden’s YouTube page.

"I did more than I've ever done in my entire life for any candidate whatsoever, and I'm disgusted," the 39-year-old Brooklynite said.

Biden’s low approval rating has declined in recent weeks. A recent Gallup poll showed Biden at 40% approval, his lowest to date and down from 43% in December.

I'm glad that some people are seeing the light. I can't disagree with anything he said. I particularly agree with his stance of CRT, as he hits the nail right on the head.
Serves the dems/libs right for voting for such idiots.

Many are coming to realize that most dem politicians really don't believe the drivel they are peddling, but just want to gain political office to maximize their personal wealth.

And keep in mind the libs are just warming up. They are totalitarians who's end game is to create a nation of dependent serfs with the politicians and oligarchs ruling over them like feudal lords.

Liberalism is the greatest threat that American liberty has faced since its inception. We need a Constitutional Convention to restore the power to the people and prevent these crooks from stealing and enslaving the nation. Liberal voters are very gullible and are all too eager to sacrifice their freedom and security for the sake of bizarre "virtue signaling" in trying to achieve a liberal state of grace.

So if you put up an opposing argument you are "off topic" or trolling??

Exactly. I follow another forum about Denver, my nearest “big city,” and it’s amusing to me how much people complain about the current state of the city, especially with regard to the homeless situation, visible public drug use, and some crimes no longer being prosecuted by the DA. However, the minute someone suggests to maybe vote for different candidates for City Council, people freak out because they can’t bring themselves to vote for “Republicans.” It’s like, okay, keep voting for the same, and you’ll get more of the same.

And it’s not like Republicans are that amazing, but there aren’t any Republicans in any elected office in Denver. So it’s not like voting for a couple of them and/or voting for folks with different priorities and platforms is going to somehow turn Denver ultra conservative. I think a mix of views is healthy.
