[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rob Reiner's quote is accurate.

Vote for whoever you like best in the primaries or don't vote at all if you're not so inclined. But, come the general election, staying home or voting for anyone other than the Democratic candidate (Biden) is support for the corruption, violence and/or fascism that will come with a second Trump term. [/quote]

A lot of us have a hard time with those of you who pretend Biden lacks serious negatives. It seems you devalue much of the electorate…[/quote]

so says the idiot planning to vote for the man calling his opponents vermin...LIKE HITLER DID![/quote]

Only a true idiot would take the previous statement (about Biden’s negatives) to mean that that person (me) was (definitely!) going to vote for Trump.

DCUM sometimes seems like a place Democrats use to limit their allies.[/quote]

Agree. They want continued support but don’t want to listen to their constituents. They tell their constituents what they need and want. HUGE mistake. Worse … if anything, they didn’t understand that the elections of Biden and Obama were not the mandates party people were pushing. The votes for Biden in particular were votes against the extremes on either end. At the very least he’s enabled the perception that the party controls him and is pulling his administration much past left of center. The party is also much more elitist than his buddy next door persona that appealed to so many. [/quote]
Biden is still a moderate in today's Democratic party and those with extreme views that you mention are actually fewer in number than it so appears by their loud, attention seeking voices. The country is divided but not as divided as our parties and politicians make it out to be. The current winning strategy in national politics is to retain the base and recruit those in the middle by an all effort of convincing people of how awful, extreme, and dangerous everyone not on their side is. For example; 80% of Americans could agree on a national abortion policy where it is legal up to 15 to 35 weeks and with discussion and debate necessary to come to an agreement within that timeframe yet it would seem from the messaging of our parties and politicians that 40% of the country are "baby killers" that want abortion legal until a baby's first breath and another 40% of the country are "forced birthers" that want little to no access to legal abortions. We can fairly and effectively debate abortion being legal up somewhere in the 15 to 35 week range but there is no compromise possible between baby killers and forced birthers. Our politicians see that their power is preserved more easily through division than compromise and here we are. [/quote]
