There is more decisiveness today then there ever was with Trump. That worked in 2020 but not today.

First of all Paul talks about it on here nearly everyday.

Second of all, not sure how many times it needs to be said to get thru your apparent thick skull but I think some of the right friends on here are complete extremist idiots, doesn’t mean I don’t agree with republicans from a fiscal standpoint. I went to a Republican pac fundraiser last weekend ffs.

Third, your obsession with this is rivaling Lou’s Covid boner. It’s not healthy.

I’m sure u mean DIVISIVENESS correct?
Nothing decisive about Dementia “54 States” Joe

Yes, I support most of the Democratic positions.
This includes Medicare, Social Security and the ACA...all target for reduction or elimination by Republicans.
Also I support the recent laws to let the government negotiate for drug prices for Medicare and capping certain costs for things like insulin; which Republicans want to repeal.
Additionally I think a woman's health is a question for her and her doctor, and not as some are running on a situation where "political leaders" should have a voice, or that she should go before a "community panel" when a life threatening emergency arises.

Months ago I expressed a fear that the impact of the last president was a danger for our country.
With up to 50% of Republicans running for office openly running as election deniers of the 2020 results, I remain fearful that the switch in Congress will have lasting harmful effects on the Republic.

In 1964 Barry Goldwater began the "voter fraud" nonsense, despite then and now no evidence of any impact on elections.
It was a calculated effort to suppress minority voting, and it worked, carried on with the Atwater "southern strategy."
That continues today. Back then there were a variety of suppression tools, most of which have gone away (thankfully).
But it still exists, as evidenced by armed men intimidating voters at the polls.
This nonsense was fueled in 2020 by the last president, and that base continues to hold sway in the Republican party.

Republicans stood up for the country and let Richard Nixon know he had to leave office.
We needed that after the Capitol insurrection and it would have been enormously helpful, but didn't happen.

I remain fearful of the trajectory we are on, and hope that cooler minds will prevail.

As Charlie Brown would say "good grief!"

There are JUST AS MANY election deniers on the left (i.e. Hillary, Stacy Abrams, Al Gore, etc) as the right. Give it up.

Hell, the folks in Pennsylvania are already saying they won't be able to name a winner on Tuesday night. Hmmmm.

If the freaking French can do it with paper ballots, why the hell can't the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania do it?!?

[paulxu]

Because the Republican controlled state legislature in Pennsylvania said you can't start counting mail-in ballots till the day of election.

If they could start processing them as they came in, you might not have the problem of waiting for the final tally. Doesn't make it "voter fraud."

ps. Hillary and Al aren't on the ballot.Abams complaints have been about voter suppression, not the actual vote counts.She's not running on a platform of denying the 2020 election, and vowing to overturn it.

[Lamont Sanford]

There is way more voter fraud with mail-in ballots than in-person voting. Ever hear of ballot harvesting?

As MoR asked you the other day...if you believe in the (failed) policies of the left, why do you live in a red state? Why aren't you in NY or PA or MA or MI?

False. No one is "advocating" for the elimination of Social Security or Medicare. Even Fact Checker Glenn Kessler of your favorite Pravda the Wash Post gives that claim "4 Pinocchio's". Do they want to alter it so it doesn't go bankrupt in 2032, which it is presently on pace to do, yes. "Altering has been misspelled into "Elimination" Bull shit.
Also I support the recent laws to let the government negotiate for drug prices for Medicare and capping certain costs for things like insulin; which Republicans want to repeal.
Trump tried to lower insulin prices in May and July of 2020 t $35 per month. Biden later froze those orders in February 2021 Then he "allegedly" came back and put the same $35 price in the BBB bill, BUT. You have to be in Medicare or an insurance plan to get it. Bull Shit.
Additionally I think a woman's health is a question for her and her doctor, and not as some are running on a situation where "political leaders" should have a voice, or that she should go before a "community panel" when a life threatening emergency arises.
Paul denies Democracy where the electorate, rather than an unelected panel of judges rules what the law will be. BTW. In 1972, contraception was not anywhere near as available. Today there are productions that are 99% effective in preventing pregnancy- including "morning after" and 10 day after pills. Every civilized country has a post 15 week Abortion ban-which is what the Dobbs Mississippi law stated. Paul would allow abortion up to the birthing table. Finally medical technology has made the age of viability earlier and earlier. Bull shit

The Democrats started this shit. Remember Hilary's "Vast Right Wing Conspiracy crap in the early 1990's, Al Gore, the Ohio Diebold Voting machine controversy pushed by Barbara Boxer in 2004, Hilary's continual "Illegitimate President rants and the Queen of Georgia Stacy Abrams who hasn't met an election result that she believes? Your side started this trash. Now it's back in your face. Bull Shit

"Armed men intimidating voters. Welcome to Democrat Philadelphia in 2008 by the "New Black Panther Party and By the way, Minorities are increasingly moving to the Republican side. "Suppressive laws" in Georgia have resulted in record early voting turnout. Bull Shit

This nonsense was fueled by radical Democrats who invented the new rules. When the other side tries to invoke them you cry foul. Bull Shit.

Here are your answers. Look em up. Your positions are based on propaganda that you readily believe.

She's not running on a platform of denying the 2020 election, and vowing to overturn it.

Who IS running on that platform? Before you answer that you should consider the difference between having an opinion on a certain topic and an actual campaign platform.
