If you have such a distrust of the electoral system that you only agree with it when your preferred candidate wins, that sounds to me like saying you support a dictatorship. Obama peacefully transferred the power to Trump in 2017 because he supports the democratic system, despite their differences. If you only support democracy when your candidate wins, you don’t support democracy.

Yeah, I went back to the OP's link, and there was one hyperlink that I missed, and when I clicked on that missed hyperlink it invalidated my two posts and made my question to you in the third answered, so I edited all three posts to 'nevermind' .

I don't recall Hillary being part of the prior administration so why are you mentioning her? There's only 1 name it applies to but nice deflection for nothing...

When a Conservative complaines or mouths off ,they are slammed and shut down by MSM ..
A Liberal does the same as a Conservative mouthing off,,, crickets from MSM. So of course the Left will rank higher in the pole, no repercussions from the MSM.so more feel free to speak out.

I think it's sad that they have been the three major nominees in the last two cycles...no....beyond sad. It's pathetic.


IMO, Biden is childish as well. Not as bad in that particular way as Trump, but it's still fitting.


Among other things, he said if they were in school, he'd want to take Trump behind the gymnasium and beat him up .

Read Trumps speech from that day if you want to read real hate...
I found the transcript and have read it. Are we talking about the same speech? There is no hate in the speech I have before me. That's the speech Trump made before the crowd marched on the Capitol. The same speech that is being used in the case against him. Perhaps you are thinkinking of another speech?

So, we have more evidence that the left is almost twice as likely to be in favor of violence and insurrection. Can't say I'm surprised.
After the BLM and Antifa riots, no one is surprised.
