Do any downvoters believe Trump is a fan of democracy?

Is someone gonna explain the flaw in my logic here?

> It's likely that the coasts would prefer a more progressive candidate, but I think on average, the US is somewhere between Biden and Romney. You might be right. Let's also bear in mind, though, that even with all the people v

All of which, even if inadequate are better goals than the dark authoritarian visions of the far-right : ). Systemic racism has been danced around by centrists until now. And yeah I agree we have to wait and see what the Biden administratio

Sadly you are probably right about the different media environments. At the same time, no, I'm not essentially doing the same thing. Let's face the facts - the current conservative media environment (Fox, etc) is deeply distorted.

I may have misread your previous comment -- thank you for the clarification. I do agree with you that it's tricky to try to sell being centrist when you are not, and, in some ways, better to just be out-and-out left. TBH I'm not s

Maybe we should have federally refulated aocial media then, or the social media version of PBS. Then we as a democracy could decide via legislation and law what is approrpriate and what is not.

The specific example of Trumps behavior in question is objectively false. Lets not talk about two different situations at the same time. It is perfectly possible to make an appropriate decision and then an inappropriate one; one does not ne

Except there really was one candidate who would have been happy to kill democracy. I can't speak for the beliefs or rationale of the people who voted for him but its crystal clear what Donald Trump stood for. I don't think its deh

Are you living under a rock? Sorry if I'm being rude, but ... seriously, I would be curious how much you know about U.S. history and current events. What's your context / are you a young person / do you not watch much ne

He kinda also threatened Dr. Fauci and the FBI director right before that. Kind of puts the whole revolution/civil war comment in context. By itself innocuous, in the context of the conversation and w/Bannon being a white supremac

Do these individualistic people wear masks or is that to collectivist? That’s the dealbreaker question for me right now. Point being, even individualists are part of a community.

If someone does not say something because of fear of how they will be perceived I’m not sure the policy is the root cause ... and if a whole group of people behave that way (as I would assume often more than one person would have the same r

Would the problem with that side effect lay on the shoulders of the person making the assumption that it's not possible for there to be multiple candidates of roughly equal merit (at which point a quota would then be applied) ? Seems l
