    Well he did introduce a lot of minorities to the difference in a monthly poverty check and the dependency it bought and what 40 hour a week job pays and the independence that comes from that.. Plus 3-4X the pennies their DNC allowed them to make ;)

    It's almost a no win situation. The Far Left is not going away. Trump will agitate them by "noticing they exist" and doing his best to call attention to them, and try to hold them back through legal means. The Democrats will encourage them by pretending to "not notice they exist" (like Biden saying Antifa is just an idea), or possibly actually encourage their growth (as Kamala has done), or start changing our "fair and just equality" laws into "equity justice" laws.

    Eventually most of the public will figure out that the Critical Race Theory will destroy the fabric of the county. So, yeah, do people wake up before things get worse, during the major shift, or in hindsight when it may be too late? And then it does become a political question as to whether Trump should step aside so there is no "evil incarnate orange demon" to blame for everything (and the real problem is still there), or whether evil orange man Trump needs to stay in four years to make people aware of issues and potentially stop the Great Fall.

    That was one of several reasons our founding fathers thought out the options of the popular vote versus an electoral college, and wisely decided upon the latter.

    Democrats seemed fairly content and happy between 2009-2016 with the system, when Republicans were feeling a wee bit left out of political representation.

    ...and yeah, I have been a 3rd party voter 2008, 2012, and 2016. Hmmm. I didn't say "f your feelings," nor did I say "Burn it all down," when my candidate didn't win.

    Both Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump are really 3rd party representatives, so it would seem that 3rd party candidates have figured out how to game the two-party establishment system.

    Democrats will get their turn again either in 13 days or in 4 years and 13 days. Until then, don't worry; be happy. :)

    You should read their letters, this wasn’t the reason.

    False, do you believe just because you state something without evidence it becomes true, is this your typical debate strategy?

    Did I say otherwise?

    I don’t know how to even break this down so I will just pass over it silently

    I guess the conversation has ended then as you glossed over the majority of my points. Take care

    Well, during the last few minutes of the debate, Joe probably just lost any hopes of winning Texas, even if nearly 6 million Texans already voted. Old Joe told the truth, for once, and said directly that they plan to start immediately dismantling and then completely kill the oil industry by 2050. One out of five people in Texas work in the oil industry. That would bankrupt the state and much of the state's contribution to U.S. GDP.

    That one answer may also have wiped out Joe's chance at Pennsylvania.

    I feel better now that Texas will stay red. :)

    Which explains why Democrats want to drag out the vote count for weeks after the election.

    Probably about 1/4th to 1/3rd, yes. So?
