I wonder - is it possible to remove Pelosi, Harris, AOC, et. al. for inciting violence this last spring and summer?

Biden’s trans order undoes decades of feminist progress

The Biden presidency, we’re told, is a historic win for women. With Kamala Harris as his Madam Vice President and a record number of women in his Cabinet, the new commander in chief is advancing th…

Conservatives are incorrect in saying that Biden, or the American left in general, are communists. In a sense, despite occasionally using communist rhetoric and tactics, they are about as non-communist as can be because they’re all controlled by giant mega-corporations. What we are seeing in the modern USA isn’t a communist takeover of the nation, but a corporate takeover of the nation.

That isn’t to say that our left isn’t on the left, they are in very many ways, but fighting against the super rich against the exploited workers certainly isn’t one of those ways.

I hate using the word because it’s so abused as to almost be worthless, but if “fascism” is meant to mean a sort of authoritarian collusion between corporations and the state, then by that definition the USA is fast on its way towards fascism. But, unlike European fascism of the 1920’s - 1940’s, we have international fascism rather than national fascism. What I mean by that is in, for example, National Socialist Germany there was collusion between corporations and the state, but the relationship was ostensibly for the benefit of the nation (nationalism) and the state was in charge. What we have is the opposite, it’s international fascism, where the nation comes under the control of the corporations for the benefit of the corporations.

Biden, and the gigantic political and business machine that he is the figurehead of, personify this kind of fascism, or whatever you like to call it. Complete with brown (black) shirts beating up people in the streets, trumping up legal cases against political dissidents, and an attack on free speech.

Trump, for all of the absurd accusations of fascism hurled against him, was about this best resistance to this fascist takeover our nation could muster and now that he’s been defeated, the new regime will likely make an example of him and his allies.

this. this so much. To all the people on the left who call trump literally hitler, and those who tried convincing the right that they needed to embrace facism to "Defeat the dirty jewish commies" well be careful what you wish for. Hitler wishes he had the kind of tight fist that the current establishment has over tech and he wishes he could scapegoat the jews half as much as conservatism have been scapegoated.

I'm waiting for when he continues the war in the middle east. The people there if they had the chance will line up all together to throw shoes at the administration that bombed them to shit holes.

I doubt you'll have to wait long; the establishment is going to be desperate for anything they can shove into the American people's faces, as a distraction from their attempts to turn this country into one ruled by an oppressive authoritarian oligarchy.

Wonderful more forever wars. If a state ever leaves it'll be citing wasting blood and money on overseas wars that don't end.

I have good news though; the odds that we'll ever go to war with China under a Biden administration are nonexistent!

Biden suspends Trump executive order, opens door for China to influence our America's power grid

In his executive order revoking permit for Keystone XL Pipeline, Biden also suspended President Trump's executive order, 13920 entitled "Securing the United States Bulk-Power System," thus opening the door for Chinese Communist Party access

Because Biden and his handlers plan on selling us out to them wholesale.

More money for the elites. They don't give a fuck about the proles.

Well, that's it for the power of the vote; and people say the government can't work quickly.

 

[What's the sitch?]

It's as I have told others, it wasn't about Trump winning/losing,I could accept that he lost and move on but it was the circumstances surrounding it.There is very likely not going to be a "next time".

This is why I find that focussing on ANY POLICY except fixing our elections is just a distraction.

NONE of it matters, if we don't fix our elections first.

How do we fix it though? The government are the ones who broke it, so demanding that they fix it isn't likely to go anywhere.

That's certainly a problem.

Probably one of the biggest problems this country has faced so far.

Pushing for voter ID and security methods is a start. But like you said, they don't have to listen. That doesn't mean we just give up though.

It does mean that spending a bunch of political capital on other stuff is a waste of time for the most part..because if you can't get your people elected, it's all meaningless.

Hey maybe next time the GOP will cheat better than the Dems. I'm not endorsing or condoning that. But the threat and possibility of that might get some democrats on the side of securing elections too.

Election day should be made a Federal Holiday with something more robust than the current system of one person from each party observing the tallying. Perhaps each observer having a rubber stamp to certify the vote. Or two, one to accept the vote and one requiring an audit if it's deemed suspicious. Yeah it'll slow down the election process but considering the last cluster fuck of a rigged election, having to wait a few days or week would be better than it being contested right up until the day of inauguration.

The problem with that plan is that it's likely the GOP establishment, the RINOs, will cheat to try and squeeze out any and all populist elements from their party.

Well I want to make the cheating harder, so it would make it harder for them to cheat too.

I just threw that out there as I was brainstorming ways to get liberals on board. The threat of the right cheating is certainly one way to achieve that. However, it's not one that I'd condone.

I don't really know the right way forward from here, but I know we need to talk about it and figure it out, so these discussions are good.
