the Republicans are also here and everywhere we go, trying to turn us and play us for fools -- to destroy us.

These aren't the good old days. We're at war, and as voters we are tiny powers, targets and pawns to be captured, in a giant battle for power. We have to be smarter than those who came before us needed to be. Our nation is in even greater danger than during the Civil War. At least then half the nation would have continued as a liberal democracy.

This is NOT about moderate or bold liberal change, which healthcare system we choose, a dangerously clueless notion. It's about whether we will continue to have the ability to choose any government system at all.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

Sophistry, unintentional or otherwise. If RUSSIA is using it, Hortensis Oct 2019 #32
