If one can't even discuss this with some semblance of reason themselves, they really shouldn't be talking about others about reasonable. I have no idea where you think the ridiculous hyperbole of 30 years and generations will get you. 

 

 

you are the one comparing a president being certified by the 20th to roe and obfergell though? like, im literally using the things you brought up.

 

how is certifying a president by jan 20th anything like generations long fights for civil rights?

 

whats the short term and long term version of right and wrong you are trying to allude to in regards to a very static vote count in which trump lost?

 

in your imagination, this will or can be legally overturned by jan 20th even though there is no evidence and many courts have stated such? even judges that trump has appointed himself?

I was in sports clip getting my hair did today. Some Black guy was on ESPN ranting about how if that had been black people their blood would have run in the street. So tired of the hypocrisy. Did not BLM just loot and burn and occupy for 4 months while police pretty much got out of the way and let it happen.

Then the talking heads last night on CNN. Cumo having a stoke, while for the past 3 months he has all but defended the riots by BLM. He actually said during those protest. You cant expect protest to always be nice.

 

Joe Biden was asked many times to denounce the violence by BLM and refused

Protesting such brutality is right and necessary. It’s an utterly American response. But burning down communities and needless destruction is not. Violence that endangers lives is not. Violence that guts and shutters businesses that serve the community is not.

The deadly violence we saw overnight in Portland is unacceptable. Shooting in the streets of a great American city is unacceptable. I condemn this violence unequivocally. I condemn violence of every kind by any one, whether on the left or the right.

An unarmed white woman, who served her country, no less, was shot in the neck and killed by Capitol Police. There were no riots, race bait, or defense of her actions as she was trying to get onto a Congressional floor where members were cornered. Instead, as usual, people pointed out she got what she deserved. The people who want to see race in everything, and particularly with the same script every time, are the ones who clearly have the race problem.

I'm well aware of this and I take no pleasure in it. I'm speaking figuratively. This does not happen  regularly that a white women is killed  like this by any police, one thing is clear she was not shot and killed simply because of the color of her skin.

as a registered independent, no its not.

 

one side is invariably more reasonable than the other and is actually being pushed way too far trying to meet in the middle with people who are moving too far and too fast away from any point of compromise. 

 

you do realize there was a noose and hanging deck at the capital and that people stormed government chambers with zip ties to kidnap and hold people hostage right?

 

thats way past "difference of opinion"

 

Why are you an Independent, do you not want to be at the forefront of the fight for Racial Justice, against the Patriarchy and White Privilege.

sarcasm or not

 

racial justice and equity for all people is not a political problem but a societal one.

 

people were jerks to women/other races before the american government system was ever established

Thanks for posting this.  That's why I have such an issue with today's media.

 

Obviously Biden has condemned the riots but, depending on where you get your news, you may not be aware of it.  Just like Trump was asked at the debate to finally condemn racism/white supremacy.  Most people thought he had never condemned it when he actually has repeatedly.

 

I really wish there were reliable, unbiased, and well-known news sources.  We shouldn't have to search like we do to find the truth.

In the second Presidential Debate, Biden was asked by the moderator why he hasn't called the Governors and Mayors of the states, he answer was something like, "I don't have the authority"  Like you need authority to ask and encourage people do the right thing.

O FACT two is that we had record breaking mail-in ballots in this election, coupled with FACT 3 that we had a record LOW ballot rejection rate compared to the 2016 and 2018 elections, 

This is what intrigues me the most, the increase in mail-in ballots coupled with a decrease in rejection rate.  Mathematically, that seems odd.

i didnt call anyone names though besides a character in a hypothetical situation. you are def in your feelings and clearly operate on a different set of facts from myself and many federally pointed judges.

 

have fun with that. you should join the "protests" on the 21st if you feel so strongly. ill watch the fuckery from my tv/balcony like i did yday lol

Like you watched it in Portland, Minneapolis, New York and Los Angeles, while you party did nothing about it? 

 

And I would have loved to have been in DC, I wouldn't be storming the Capital though, I have too much respect for our institutions... No, I'd much rather be outside pissing on CNN's cameras instead.

Biden has been asked repeatedly  to condemn Antifa and refused during the debates

Fortunately the explanation has been available since before the election.

 

President Trump convinced many/most of his supporters that mail-in balloting was fraudulent. He urged them to vote on election day. So they did.

Non-Trump supporters didn't fall for the lies, so many/most voted by mail.

In many states, mail-in votes are counted after election day votes. Including Georgia.

 

So what you had was the illusion of Trump winning, and then these blue votes seemingly coming in a huge wave. It was an illusion. The vote was always what it was: a win for Biden.

 

Experts had been saying this is exactly what would happen for weeks leading up to the election.

 

There is no mystery here. There was no voter fraud, there were no mystery votes.

Good. Antifa are "anti-fascists." Everyone should get behind anti-fascism. I'm glad the President-elect is anti-fascism.

Amazingly, all of your words had nothing to do with what I said.
