@deadmoon I legitimately don't understand how he has so much sway over them. Does nobody see how absolutely batshit he is? It's crazy to me.

@LordShadowfire speaking of privilege, which one of us has the word “Lord” in their user name ? Lol

@AthrillatheHunt You have the privilege of putting it in your name as well.

@LordShadowfire the privileged Roman’s referred to my namesake as a scourge of God.

@GerOttman And this was planned by the Founding Fathers??? They couldn't foresee there would be political parties. Your systems are a joke. The UK political / electoral systems desperately need bringing up to date, but they look 21st Century compared to the USA.

@22Michelle "They couldn't foresee political parties"??

Did you just say that out loud?

The founders obsessed over it!

I know you're not from around here but a quick brush up on US history would be in order before you inject a comment like that.

@22Michelle I hate to say this, but the libertarian snapping turtle has a point. The founders were actually dead set against the formation of political parties, because they knew it would divide the country.

@helenoftroy2000 Huh? What does basketball have to do with this?

@TexChik

I haven't looked into it that carefully, but I don't think the Constitution specifies how many justices there are supposed to be on the Supreme Court. FDR suggested packing the court when he had huge majorities in both houses of Congress, but even his own party wouldn't go along with it.

At that time, Democrats evidently had far more scruples than they have now.

@TexChik

Maybe the National Guard?

But you are right, it would be a crisis.

@justbob She hot over 2 million votes more than Trump.

@GerOttman There were conservative leaning people that claim they have NEVER EVER voted in their entire life (and they were old) and they were registering to vote for the first time, just to vote against Hillary...

I've never seen or heard of any other time like that... but you're right, the middle ground can swing an election...

But I've never seen such a strong movement to vote against someone before...

And Hillary probably did it to herself, pissing people off, thinking she had it all locked up... but I also don't think conservatives want to see a liberal woman running the country.

Even if they were good candidates... which IN NO WAY am I suggesting Hillary was a good candidate... those were so e absolutely horrible choices and since too...

@sstronaut they were both horrible candidates, I voted for Johnson/Weld in '16. Just from a fundamental technical standpoint, HRC against advice, ignored states she needed to win because "the election was in the bag"...

@GerOttman
Yeah, but she was right.

@Midlifemale She seriously fucked herself by calling half of the country deplorable

@4meAndyou

Queen Hilly could NEVER preempt
Her utter and thorough contempt
For the average voter,
But WAS a promoter
Of rules from which SHE was exempt.

@fun4us2b In a fair election. No mail in balloting, no 37 days to count late ballots, complete adherence to the law...Trump in the largest landslide ever.

As they continue to unpack all that happened in 2020, I think we will see that it happened then too.

@fun4us2b A lot of people, including myself, were angry with the Democratic Party for picking Hillary over Bernie when he was clearly the people's choice. They didn't let us vote for Bernie, and Hillary felt like a forced choice. I don't know how Biden would have done at that time, but he definitely beat Trump in 2020, so maybe?

@fun4us2b Although Biden declined to run in 2016 for personal reasons.

@AthrillatheHunt Yep! All she had to do was keep her mouthshut and smile... Too much to ask ah reckon!!
