No, because I am ABOVE THE FRAY, and don't take sides. I am against all ideology, and am a 'FREE THINKER" You cannot pidgeon-hole me with labels!Neo » 13 Sep 2022, 1:59 pm » wrote: ↑ So when republican take the house and perhaps the senate in November will you admit defeat?

I consider myself independent, not one dedicated to a party platform. Can't seem to care about race, which seems to be at odds with both parties.
Really? My first choice in 2016 was doctor Ben Carson. Thought a natural followup to the first black president would be a black American with a completely different prerogative. Trump wasn't on my radar. Thought it was a publicity stunt to sell a new line of vodka or some **** that I wouldn't be interested in buying. I have never been a fan of Donald Trump. He was a reality TV and tabloid celebrity, he repulsed me.nuckinfutz » 13 Sep 2022, 4:16 pm » wrote: ↑ Don't **** US!
You are a shill for Trump and his motley crew of Rethugs!

I just don't believe voting matters. I side with elite theorists on their analysis of democracy. It is always just an illusion and a pressure release valve.Monderegal » 12 Sep 2022, 10:17 am » wrote: ↑ November is approaching and the realities of the midterms are starting to take shape. The question now is who will show up to vote. The truth many don't realize is that Republicans are a minority in the broader population hovering around 40%. However, Trump brought these votes to the polls in 2016 and 2020 even though the latter was a loss for his bid (assuming you believe in something different). The question now is whether the Democratic majority of voters will show up and be motivated or will the commonly more motivated Republicans be the ones who vote. The one of the primary issues in all of this is abortion. We saw that in Kansas and that could lead to a tilt. Also, Trump is not on the ballot this time and some of his enthusiastic support has dwindled. Of course, there is also a very common trend of the party out of power (in this case the Republicans) gaining seats in a midterm election. Any thoughts?

Anyone who wants things to change in the usa needs to find actual ways to acquire power...things more effective than voting.
It was tried under the Articles of Confederation. Without a strong central government things like the common defense can't be provided. Also, you would just break what you consider the problem into 50 problems that would probably lead to the downfall of the nation as a whole and the states at the same time.nefarious101 » 13 Sep 2022, 5:04 pm » wrote: ↑ Does it really matter?

every election they promise to fix the same things they promised to fix the last time...same people...same problems.....the other guy is the problem.
We should have 50 nations each operating separately and forming their own alliances. Let people decide how they want to live by moving where they get to do it. That alone would easily destroy progressivism

Lol that isn't the point. 'Democracy' simply doesn't exist. It is an illusion. 'Democratic' regimes are just as autocratic as dictatorships...if not moreso...since there is less risk of assasinationMonderegal » 13 Sep 2022, 5:17 pm » wrote: ↑ Well democracy brought those gas prices down.

people rather being of contextual character won't accept their own natural characteristics of being limited to mutually evolving forward equally here occupying space now.
