I trust democracy to safeguard democracy.
Except that presumes the people entrusted to run it will act in order to protect democracy when threats to it arise. And the Republicans under Trump have shown over and over and over again that they will not lift a finger to stop him from doing or ignoring whatever he wants.
 
 
@silbasa  
But the system is beeing hollowed out and gnawed on by the left.
No, it is not. Absolutely and completely, it is not. It is not the Democrats who have decided that one person can just be the Senate, giving carte blanche to the president and indefinitely shelving any proposal that isn’t 110% in their party’s favor. It is not the Democrats who have broken the judiciary by pushing through grossly unqualified and partisan picks. It is not the Democrats who ignore court rulings, even supreme court rulings, if they don’t like the verdict. It is not the Democrats who have lied and undermined confidence in our elections and trampled over the rights they are supposed to be protecting. Every instance where Democracy was threatened, where the system was bent over backwards until it broke, has been Republican instigated, Republican supported, and, by the Republicans, ignored.
 
 
@silbasa  
Trump is temporary.
He certainly doesn’t seem to think so. And his party seems perfectly willing to let him be anything but.
 
But of all the things you have said and been dead wrong about, I’m very much hoping that about this and only this, you are correct.

Well when you put it like that then yeah people who only care about identity politics and won’t shut up about it are the real problem. Imagine someone who’s only response to the mention of actual issues that effect everyone is to whinge about made made up sex or race issues instead.

It’s also important to remember that non-whites can be racist/support white supremacy.
 
Look up Leo Felton, a violent white supremacist who robbed a bank to fund racist attacks, and who was also building a bomb when he was arrested.
 
His father is black and his mother is white.

So apparently the reason Andrews wants to build the North East Link is because it would acquire land from a military base, and right next to a building containing secrets that China would want to steal. Note that he’s getting a Chinese company to build the freeway. At this point he really does sound more and more like a Chinese spy…

There has been some investigation work, but it was for the hotel quarantine fiasco and all his answers were “I don’t know”, which would be even more red flags…

Hope Hicks has tested positive for covid.
 
She has had close, assumed maskless contact with the President lately. Including traveling with him directly for the debate.

Clearly she shouldn’t have been tested. After all, we all know being tested is what creates these new cases.

Currently Nancy Pelosi. But if she doesn’t win reelection then it’s whoever the House Dems select as their Speaker. Unless the Reps win majority in the House, at which point they get to select the Speaker.

What you fail to understand is that there’s a difference between “common sense” and “my opinion”. Otherwise the term means nothing.
 
And America as it is absolutely needs to go very left just to meet us in Europe - and we’re slipping right too.
 
What is it you mean by “democracy” that is supposedly threatened by the left? Because, you know, most of us are rather in favour of democracy.

The EU is Right authoritarian (data 2012) so if you think the USA Needs to go very left to meet up with the EU I wonder where on the political Compass you think you are. And also just by this; You don´t Need to be LEFT for universal HealthCare, lgbtq+ Rights etc. Heck Otto von Bismark Father of the German Nation is also the Father of our Socialsystem. Our social System is a conservative issue.

Yes.  
And it once again seems like it is a authoritarian vs liberal Problem mistaken for left and Right. So moving left means Nothing.
 
Wait it means something. A left state can not generate enough Money to effort social Project to support the weaker members of Society.
