From a centrist with leftist leanings of all things.

So much for the Democratic fantasy ? the one that seemingly never dies ? of unobstructed rule. Democrats didn't just want to win and govern in the name of a deeply divided nation's fractured sense of the common good.

No, they wanted to lead a moral revolution, to transform the country ? not only enacting a long list of new policies, but making a series of institutional changes that would entrench their power far into the future.

Pack the Supreme Court. Add left-leaning states. Break up others to give the left huge margins in the Senate. Get rid of the Electoral College. Abolish the police.

Rewrite the nation's history, with white supremacy and racism placed "at the very center (https://theweek.com/articles/859776/new-york-times-surrenders-left-race)." Ensure "equity (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4kowE_YIVw)" not just in opportunity but in outcomes. Hell, maybe they'd even establish a Truth and Reconciliation Commission (https://theweek.com/articles/944768/left-embraces-rigging-democracy) to teach everyone who voted for or supported the 45th president just how evil they really are

He thinks a bribem presidency will be pretty ineffective.


There will be no court packing. No added states. Nothing from the toxic progressive-fantasy wishlist will come anywhere close to passing. Instead, we will have grinding, obstructive gridlock. Some will demand that Biden push through progressive priorities by executive order. But every time he does ? like every incident of urban rioting and looting, every effort to placate the left-wing "Squad" in the House, every micro-targeted identity-politics box-checking display of intersectional moral preening and finger-wagging ? the country will move closer to witnessing a conservative backlash that results in Republicans taking control of the House and increasing their margin in the Senate in November 2022, rendering the Biden administration even more fully dead in the water.

Yeah baby.

Yeah baby.

he's actually more of a described centrist D. With some left leaning ideology

Read his one from 10/21/20
Keeping in mind what i said about the Left taking a Biden win as a mandate to purge the county of any and everyone that opposes them

Kamala needs to read this too. She already told people like me she's going to have us hunted down, probably talking out her ass but..............


This means that if Trump loses next month, Republicans will not be deposed tyrants ripe for (legal or institutional) retribution. They will be the political opposition in a system that facilitates the peaceful transfer of power between parties — a process that only functions if each side treats the other as fellow citizens who will be given a fair chance to vie for power the next time around, and if this process itself is widely considered legitimate.

This is a fundamental precondition of democratic self-government that progressives disregard at their peril.
