POTUS/General Election Thread 2020 + Aftermath

[Gilrandir]

It's not about who you are, it's not even that you don't know what the you're talking about, it's that you're so smarmy, condescending, and self-assured about the drivel you say while refusing to learn anything that would lend some merit to your ideas.

Again playing the ball, as you believe? You are so arrogant, dismissive, and raving that I even won't bother to remind you that peaceful coexistence isn't my idea but the basic principle of democracy.

The bold instantly outs you as unserious.

If I'm so unserious and my opinion is just a drivel why are you getting so nervous trying to prove your point? And if it outs me, why do you keep answering at all?

Your premise relied on obdurate mischaracterization, so I showed you how it would manifest in Ukraine's context.

A nice weaseling out attempt. Instead of admitting it when your ignorance became patent you just say that your purpose of giving analogies didn't presuppose awareness of the subject.

The Democratic Party has consistently gone out of its way to affirm the principle and practice of power-sharing to the point of notoriety. That you take issue with them rather than Republican actions and rhetoric that genuinely offend the standards you wish to portray yourself as concerned about proves that you have no such interest.

You still don't understand. It is not about one party or the other doing this or doing that. It is about PEOPLE of the country who will still live side by side even if both parties miraculously disappear tomorrow. And the people will have to connect somehow. Fomenting hatred won't bring you anywhere.

And for your information, my concern is minimal. My life won't change even when highways in Georgia are lined with crucified Republicans and their voters. If you are fine with it, break a leg.

one segment of society and its political representation is losing all restraint against the illegitimate use of power to enforce permanent political and economic control over the rest of the population, you do not "coexist" with that, precisely because the instigators do not permit mere coexistence - you either* win or lose. It takes minimal world-knowledge to successfully grasp this principle.

So you don't wish to live next door to Republicans or traveling to Florida for a vacation to meet them in a roadside cafe. And? What are you gonna do about it? This is the question that you fail to answer. And this is the crucial question for those who believe that after Biden's victory Republican voters could be just disregarded, segregated, discriminated, and pushed into the background.

Major examples of single-party hammerlocks in rising democracies include:

US (pre-Wilsonian Republicans)
UK (Whigs, Tories)
Germany (CDU/CSU)
Japan (LDJ)
Mexico (PRI)

UK (Whigs, Tories) - two parties at least.
Japan
Germany
Mexico

And I hope you realize that steering towards a one-party system will automatically strike your country out from the list of democratic ones turning it into a Democratic one. Or hammerlock is what you are aiming for?

Your personal characteristics are not relevant but you insisted on interjecting them. One can lead a dummy to reason but one can't make him think.

Like I insisted by being so stupid that you HAD to mention it? It's like a bully grabs an arm of his victim and hits him with the hand repeating "Why are you hitting yourself?" I thought that you were an adult person.

Evidently this, and your subsequent name calling makes any debate with you a waste of time. Go pack your rifle to hunt the evil Republicans across Midwest. Once it is over, the USA will have a new happy life "без козлов, которые мешают нам жить", as Yanukovych used to say.
